We have colors for next 10 Lotus7.

Today I make wheel's cover , forming block , using MDF and next days I'll cover them.
If I'll use kevlar ,the color will be ... yellow , without painting.
I am not sure about it, yet.

... next step

















Front wheel isn't the right , of 60mm. This is 80mm and it is rear , so the cover is thin

Looking great! Don't forget torotate the front cycle guards so they are mostly at the back of the front wheel

I'm back to my projects ( I dont know for how long) but not in this one. The chassis was too heavy and I was in wrong way.
The comparative new project is this.

....here we are!!!!!!!



Lars, i used this as mold for the front and nose cone.





Uploaded with ImageShack.us



Uploaded with ImageShack.us


I covered it with fiber glass to make the nose but all this was ( and is ) on the wrong way to make a Lotus7.
I didnt like the result and if i want now ( ... yes i want ) a Lotus 7, there is only one way to me . FROM THE BEGINNIG.


If you like this nose cone, the mold is yours, as friendly gift. It weights about 6 kg and maybe pay a lot for shipping but and the wallet is yours, too.

Oh thanks, that is very generous of you, but i think i turn down the offer. I will have to see what my next project will be, i think i will maybe go for some classic vintage car-body once again. Did i read somewhere from you that this was 1:3,5th scale?

You're welcome, Lars.

Yes , 1:3,5th scale.
1:4th or 1:5th scale only, with body, for the future projects.
