Hi everyone just joined the forum and will be rejoining the register as i have just aquired a riley elf mk2. Needs a lot of panelwork but i have known the car for quite a number of years and i couldn't see it go in the bin i;m just a softy when it comes to old cars. Have a few mini projects of one sort or another so when it will get done i'm not to sure but reat assured it will be done. By the way my names lester and i live in malvern Worcestershire luckily i'm a panelbeater by trade so Lily will be a bit of a busmans holiday.
cheers for now lester

Hi Lester and welcome to the forum!

I think we're all softies when it come to old cars .

Good luck with your project - any chance of some pics?

[lester]

thanks for the reply and welcome elfgirl no probs with some pics going down the barn today so will take a few for all you folks. It is a bit grim at the moment but should be a straightforward resto job. Easy way out is a complete new floor, i reckon quicker easier and cheaper, i know the profiles are different, but the original engine is now long gone so 1275 a+ is going in on dry frames with fiesta brakes up front. The front and rear panels are remarkably good, but floor heelboard sills area is dead ropey. I think the colour is arianca beige which it will be staying. All for now but will get some pics on the forum in the project section.

cheers for now lester

Hello Lester, keith here who bought the white hornet from you a couple of years ago, sadly it was stripped for parts but its helped to keep some others on the road including my current hornet.
