Given there are only a few of these in existence, I'm glad that folks are putting in the effort to restore them when damaged.

The Lotus is the coolest care that you have done. It is one of the best handling cars on the planet. It steers like it's on rails. Enjoy it!

That car is a keeper, specially after doing all that work

Boys lookig great bondo Ivan is a sculpture in his spare time great little cars cant wait to see it finished 👍

Great work turning these videos out so quickly.

We’re do you guys see your self in the next year or two with this channel in Build

Exciting build

The background music is so cute.😉 It seems to go well with the yellow color of the music and the vehicle. 😁

Hi boys Great work on the Lotus 👍👍👍👍 Great to see you working on a great British car you will enjoy driving this beast Jimbo (uk) 👍👍👍👍👍

The lotus is coming along great 😊

Finding all the Corvette owner jokes funny!

It is a cool little car.

I’m with you bro. Love the lotus.

One of my favorite cars....you should it went with kitty hair for the body work.

Lotus way cooler than the others

Fun build, great work, thanks!

so you boys from across the pond finally get it mustangs corvettes etc are great cars granted but you niko boys really know your stuff, a lotus is a true drivers car, a surgical instrument of a car, love the content and merry Christmas from England

Best car you've done so far 😎❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Love your work cant wait to see the finished car

You have fun with that. lol

Great job guys.

Great

Brilliant job. Really looking forward to seeing the finished results. Keep the videos coming guy's.

Good work. The spider cracks probably would have been better to fill in with chopped up fiberglass and resin along with some additional backing support to prevent the reappearance of cracks. The bondo fills in the imperfections, but doesn't add support or prevent future cracking. That seems like it may be a band-aid.

You guys are the best 👌

Great progress on the lotus, can't wait for the next video... take care thanks 😊

Looking good 👍

Great progress on lotus 👍🎯

It's the first time i seen you guys do a British car

Looking good

Nice job.

The orange picker is going places...well done again lads

Thanks for the update. Good job rebuilding the Lotus, guys. Happy Christmas holidays!! Merry Christmas👍🎄🎅

Good work gents. My only concern is if the fibreglass repairs weren’t v cup and tapered out. You’ll know when cracks reappear! Congrats on the supper speedy progress. Btw, I wouldn’t scrimp on buying new toe links - they are crucial for a proper geo set up.

The cracks are being ''papered over'' without the necessary reinforcement matting, below, the cracks. You have also taken no precautions to halt crack propagation which is essential on fibreclass.

Good progress on the Lotus. That is one job I never really liked sanding but I would tell myself it will be worth the effort in the end. Ivan, if you need that side marker it may be from a different car, Lotus would 'borrow' parts from other cars. I don't think that would be on a UK spec car (I may be wrong) but you could check with the Lotus club here. Just a suggestion though the cost of shipping for such a small part might be expensive. Take care Brothers.👍👍

Great channel - very nice little British sports car you got there 🇬🇧

We call this car a pocket rocket in the uk love your show keep up the good work 👍👍👍👍

Great progress , love it

looks like canary yellow to me, how audatious

Lovely car made in the uk 🇬🇧 lotus your going to have some fun driving it 😅👍🇬🇧👍💕love the video 👍

Love the Lotus 👍🏾

Nice to see you work on a car which began life here in my home county of Norfolk UK

Great job guys I still think the colour should be yellow am with Michael on this, the yellow color is great

Nice Job As all ways.

We see loads of these exige and Elise in the UK and they are damn cool things. Also we don’t have those running lights on the front wings or fenders as you call them. Great videos 👍🏻

Lotus is a Great car ....super fast progress .. love It 😊😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

DON'T LET Michael DRIVE IT!😂

Chasing spider cracks is never ending in fiberglass even after painting a couple years down the road in the weather it's enviable. Looks great tho 👌

Looking good 👊👊

Great little car for sure…I like the color.

Love it!!!

👍 Nice

The front end looks like a ford Escort zx2

Looking good Ivan power weight ratio should be nice wee pocket rocket Am sure you could buy few lotus for the price ey your bros c8 looking foward to it n a like your old man’s wee fiat 500

Hi , the best (popular) colors for a lotus are krypton green or vivid green...ok not your favourite yellow but that's what statistics say, .......so up to you, have fun

I love the way you do your work he will look nice full respray same colour🎉

i always believe u guys when you joke your going easy route to fix. you always end up doing it correct way

Fun and interesting to watch.. But guys, that fiberglass repair might look good, but only 2 thin ply's fiberglass, I guess less than 1 mm of wet material.. It will crack open at the first speedbump or pothole.

Must Robby Layton last show He Brought in a the Best Polisher For all the car shows. Showed him and his crew how to cut paint then sanded 1000 grit , Then 2000 grit , finished with 8000 grit Finish your car like this . Just a few more hours to have a show car

The C8 is a far superior machine in every category. This particular Lotus is a mini race car that will be fun for sure but lacks the sophistication of its more grown-up big brothers. It is like a big go cart. I'm not putting it down, just putting things in perspective. You guys will return it to its original beauty, no doubt.

Competition Yellow Mica from a 1993 Mazda Rx7 R1. Best metallic Yellow in existence.

Hallo there. Something different, maybe raptor bed liner yellow, or bronze, anyway cool little car 👍 👍 👍

It was the screw driver dancing around the passenger side rear fender for me 😅

I used to own one of these fantastic cars on the road

Epoxy tip: more hardener = slower cure and softer finished product. Backwards from what you'd think. Keep up the good work!

tango

Do smoked chrome strips. Vinyl....honestly it looks great instead of black....also remember to drill the end of the cracks.to stop it spreading underload

Paint the lotus color it's same as badge on front. It's little lighter then the yellow u have on it. Look at the yellow on lotus badge.

@1:05, ya,... Nobody sells that color yellow..... except for Lotus.....

The 2006 ecige is rated at 190hp, I have driven a 2011 excige with 260hp on a road course. The Excige drove like a big go cart, that every lap I got faster and faster and it can spin in a corner if you lift off the gas. It did draw attention.

lotus Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious

The reason that you may be having a problem finding the front side-marker light is that most of them didn't come with that light. You might try looking for an Elise marker light. It looks like they has something like that...mabye even a Tesla Roadster..ha ha. Should look good when done.

LA Global has used side markers.

Great job so far really looking forward to it getting its top coat will look amazing great fun cars ,you will really enjoy driving it but it may make your butt hurt ha ha

👍👍

The fiberglass work did not look difficult at all. looked rather simple as in a knowledgeable person always makes it look easy

Paint the car school bus or taxi yellow with red stripes.

LOL OMG that car is COVERED in bondo.

I like the Lotus but I don't like yellow but glad someone does cuz you can see it coming a mile away lol

It be cool to paint the yellow of the focus st and paint code lp

I vote to paint only damage areas, leave the original paint on.

Honda 2000 yellow? 💛🔥🤘🏽

How do you find out about your cars for sale? Went on your website Do not see any cars listed

Looks great Ivan,any reason you didn’t use fiberglass strand bondo?or was the damage not very deep?but as always great work Ivan. Thanks John from Arizona

All the fibre glass matting was done in the previous video I think it should be sound

Why does your drop cloth say "paint this side"? Whats on the otherside?

How’s the house build coming

C8, no big deal??????! Are you ok?

Did you stop drill all the cracks.?? It wasn't shown on video if you did.

I noticed that the roof section doesn't look like it is all the way down in back passenger side, might have been pushes back from accident .??
