Wish I had one,I fancy the 111s

@nsunfd2689 says:

Wow great job. I got a question, I have a damaged chassis S2 else, the right front was damaged, can the aluminium chassis be fixed?

@jameswieler3295 says:

can you list the products you use for gluing aluminum to the clamshell

@Alcalfa says:

I would be concerned about the choice of glue for the crashbox to frame connection – were you not able to find what the factory / a dealer would be using for this joint?

@robfaith6029 says:

can you explain how the ajustable balljoints work please as I've never heard of them before and where can you buy them Thanks

@michaeljaros5616 says:

I am blown away by what you can do, you are very very handy, nice to see your work and its very inspiring. GOOD JOB!

@VisualEchosPhotography says:

This is epic. I've loved all of your videos, you take great time in explaining. It's why I always wanted you to do a coolant tutorial because there are no good ones out there and I know you'd do it right. I'm sad that you sold it.

excellent job enjoy it now like the way you work nice content

@iankirwan8156 says:

That was a truly fantastic repair Steve, very thorough. I have an Opel Speedster that needs similar work, but much less damage and I'm intimidated. Would you consider working together?

@54mgtf22 says:

Wow Steve. Another big job. Love your work

@BIBIWCICC says:

Exactly what I said about my Elise, I should never have sold it!

@bartiger245 says:

wow nice job! maybe your next one will be an S1 with a center seat arrangement ;D

@liangchen975 says:

The restoration started a few years ago, if I remember correctly. I’ve been eagerly waiting to see the final product since then, and it turned out great!

@daleolson3506 says:

Lots of work

@jimdean7335 says:

I think I can hear old Rusty…..

@joewilder says:

I wonder if an MR2 is almost as good?

@bryanmeyers5476 says:

Thanks for the video Steve. I remember this restoration from when you originally bought the car. Fiberglass shells are light, which allows more efficiency but repairs seem to me to be much more complicated than on a metal skin. Your final product looked great. Your comment regarding the sale of the car gave the impression you have some regret. Perhaps you will find another that will require your skills in the future and we will benefit from watching that restoration as well.

@skystink says:

Wonderful recap on that project. I enjoyed all your Elise videos and sorry to know learn that you sold it.
