Smile update

As promised here´s a little update

I started with the front modifying the front spoiler but the lip is to big and will also make a smoother shape. The other thing I´ve done is making the rear lip a little bit bigger as you can see in the picture.

i'm following this one ! I bought this kit on a Polish "ebay" a couple of months ago and unpacked it this morning to start working on it. The ammount of flash is pretty bad - I'm guessing tis is an old moulding

Lightbulb little update

Hi
Sorry guys that I have not updated this project for a very long time but it´s just because nothing have happened for a long time and my list of exuses is so loooong but I will just show the most lovely excuse that I have:

My third child Ella born 20050701

So now to the progress of the Esprit this is what I have done:I started working on the front fenders Mr Fukuda inspired me with his mustang



Now when I decided to do so much bodywork I´m starting to think about making bigger mods on the chassis and engine, maybe replacing the 2.2 litre four with something bigger. Any suggestions are velcome.
Please make comments both positive and negative
Johan

Re: Progress: Lotus Esprit turbo

Welcome Ella!
That's a really nice scratchbuild you got there, I'm waiting my third one as well. Any day soon, it's due to July 22 but you just never know when these little bugger decides to pay a visit!?
Anyway, she's adorable! I've got two boys before and we orderd a girl this time, hopefully they're not out of stock!
....the car is also a nice piece of work but not even close to Ella!

Re: Progress: Lotus Esprit turbo

hi Johan!

Well Ella is beuatifull - congratulations!
I have also scratch built 3 children all girls. The older 2 think I'm mad with my "toy cars" but my youngest - Ola (9yrs) - has started making models herself!!

Great work on the Esprit. I thinks it's going to be a tight fit in that engine bay with a 6/8/12(!!) pot engine but look forward to seeing how this and Ella grow
