1968 ELF MK3

Right well the doors are now on, with the bonnet grille and chrome side pieces, also popped in rear door cards, bin liners, parcel shelf, sound deadening and the rear seat back in again. Got the rear bumper on aswell so should be ready very soon.

Great, the vintage rear bumper    ... I wish my Elf MKIII would just look like yours.   

  

Great job, Elf looks fantastic.

I think the Persian Blue colour looks fantastic. Very good choice. I've shown your pictures to my Mrs, her Mini is due a respray, I'm afraid she may choose the same colour  

Finally after a long wait for the paint shop to finally buff and polish the car it is back home to finish off putting it back together.

So started by giving it a bit of a clean to get rid of all the body shop dust. Got sound deadening in and started to get the dash hooked up and popped the side mirrors on aswell. Will have more photos soon will be at it all day tommorrow. So photos

Got few more bits done today weather was good aswell so that helped. Started by giving it a quick clean up, then went onto doing a few bits on the dash, and started putting in the carpets, seat brackets and seatbelts should be finished soon enough.









forgot to paint these aswell so had to do them today.

That interior is going to be really nice, I like the blue on blue. Getting close to finishing off soon, looking good so far.

Looks really smart, lovelt job.

Got the rest of the carpets in look really well


decided to play it safe and get black mats to protect the blue can pop them out at shows etc...


got the front seats in


popped the hubcaps on really looks like an elf now


put back in the Riley steering wheel instead f the old clubbie one I had


cut a freesh boot board as the old one had cracked and warped have matching carpets to match the rest of the car for it but needs alteration to fit so off to the trimmers for the last few bits fitted



took it out for its first real spin since october popped down to get some fresh petrol with one of its buddys'



is 90% there at this stage looking forward to being completely finished

Stunning, I'm so jealous, looks fantastic. You've completely resotred you're Elf in the time it's taken me to sort the rear end, and I'm not finished yet. Time for a strategy re-think.

That really is a lovely Elf.
Any more updates? 

Hi Sorry I have been meaning to put up these last few pics for a while now, have been busy with other projects. So it is finished and has been to its first show. The dash is back in and we have made little glove box liners and painted them body colour. And put the remaining little finishing touches on.

Lighter colour goes well with the blue I think

Really good job you did on this car, you must be happy Been waiting a while to see her done and I'm impressed, it all works well together.

That's looking great.  
How do you find the carpet?

Stunning. I really like your dash, who did that for you?

Hi Jared, yeah delighted with it came together really well and love the colour combination.

Raggerty the carpets where great fit really well, got them from newton commercial are the blue colour not the powder blue if you are wondering the shade.

Hi, Humph My dad believe it or not did the dash, completely broke it down, removed old veneer and got new rosewood veneer for it. I think it is something he should start doing as a business seem to really have a knack for it, and are'nt many people doing dash restoration any more. Especially over here in Ireland

Thanks for all the comments and replies

looks great :-)
