Vehicle Detail
Frame up rebuild of a 1962 Lotus 7. I've owned this Seven since 1975, almost 40 years. Before the kids came along, I used to auto cross my seven in the Bay Area of California. Once the kids came along I had to put away my hobby until I was afforded the time and money to resurrect her from the ground up. It has always been in the garage, never stored outside. I started the restoration process back in 2008 in my spare time. Just before moving to Tennessee in 2012, I completed my journey to the vehicle you see here today. It was a long tedious process, of which I am proud of, but now it is time to let her go and move on to another project. It will be sad to see her go after all of this time, but I'm sure whoever gets her will enjoy the experience of owning an amazing Lotus Seven. Try not to smile after each ride, I dare you!
