I've seen those wheels & tires before somewhere...

 

You need to get some WIDE front fenders there, Robert!

Beautiful restoration Robert! It looks great! Glad to see that you used the 7 that I gave you! What's the nose emblem?

Vehicle Description:

 

"1985 Rotus 7. This is a lotus 7 type vehicle which is number 21 of about 60 that were built. I purchased the car about a year and a half ago and have done some work to it and have enjoyed it. The car is slightly larger than a lotus 7 or caterham and can fit a v8 motor. It currently has a Toyota 3tc motor that was built at the same time as the car. For more information regarding rotus please check out usa7s.com or search for the rotus forum on the internet. the good: car runs and drives great. I drive it around the neighborhood every day. I rebuilt the front suspension and put on spax coilovers. I have two sets of springs with different ratings. Has newish caterham seats and caterham floor mats. has 15" BBS wheels with Toyo RA1 Tires. second set of wheels are 14". Bad: Needs electrical rewire. ( The kit comes with the car) Needs soft brake lines replaced and master cylinders rebuilt. ( Not leaking but it should be done). Top and tonneau need to be remade. ( origionals included for someone to use as a pattern) Rear suspension needs rebuild. ( Spax coilovers and two sets of springs included). Rear fenders need replacing. ( Coveland rear fenders and Caterham Taillights included). there are a few other odds and ends that could be done to improve the car. such as new gauges and cleaning of this and that. Other things: you will also recieve the origional clamshell fenders, a new waterpump, a new tube header, and a box of misc parts with the car. The fuel tank is 5.6 gallons. on the whole the car is great, runs and drives fine and is one of the most fun cars I have ever owned. I am selling it because I have enjoyed it and done some work to it and now I have a baby and have no time to work on it. I am trying to be as open as I can about the car. It is in need of some work but it does run and drive and would be a fantastic autocross car as is."
