First post here...For the past several years my brother and I have been building two Lotus 7 replicas powered by 3TC engines and Toyota drivelines. Both cars are based on 82-83 Corolla donor cars. We hope to have the cars on the road this summer. Since we are both old gear heads and now retired, we have the time to play with our toys. The cars are identical except for the color and carburation. Since our aims are to have a reliable, fun-driving machine, we kept the engines stock (for now) except for converting to dual sidedrafts. Once I figure out how to attach photos I will give progress reports.
Still having fun in retirement, Tom Bartlett
