  • 1969 Lotus Europa S2 project car. This is a project that was given to me because the previous owners couldn't finish it. I received this car in boxes with multiple parts missing. The engine was in rough shape and it is hard to find parts for. This is why I decided to go the EV route. When Tesla first started out, Lotus provided them with a car to put their powertrain in. I thought this would be unique to try on this car.

    Cool project. As an owner of an Esprit (1983), I've struggled with the engine issues (carburated, turbocharged, Lotus-designed engine that is expensive and not well documented). If I ever have to pull the engine, I'll probably just do an electric swap.
