Rear wheel and suspension assemblies removed along with all remaining hardware. This is what a Esprit chassis looks like laid completely bare. #lotus #lotusesprit #rebuild #esprit #project #reclamation
Looking good. I think JonHimself did a video on the chassis and talked about the cover that was added to gear stick hole to try and compensate the rigidity that’s lost by them cutting a hole in there. I think he talked about it on the FB group too, but you can glue a plate over the top to help take some strain. The cracking is common (it’s on mine too). I’ve never done powder coating, but I was looking at using an epoxy coating on mine - EM121, you can spray or brush it on. Either way enjoying the updates and good luck!
