Yep, but pretty quick death trap, had mega fun in it, and still alive after all these years.

I thought it looked great tbh.
Looked like it had just finished a rather hard 24h race ;-)

Regards engine mount, I believe the early blink conversions as with Simon S's kit ( I believe one and the same) only ever used 3 engine/gearbox mounts. One each side to support the weight and a third to stop rotation which was the long stay underneath linked to the bell housing and tied into the chassis cross member. The rear gearbox mount which tied into the subframe came about later. It looks like the top gearbox support/mount is either twisted or the assosciated bush (same as K series) had completely disintegrated which would drop that side down onto the subframe.
Thanks, I'm having all new mounts, and the full set, so it should be ok.

GregR: thanks for the comment, but won't be, well, no more than any other Elise :thumbsup

I think the F1 drivers call it "driving around some problems with the car". True talent...
