An archive. This is a preserved copy of the Elva Courier MkIII restoration blog written by Andy Rich, published at elvamk3.wordpress.com from 2010 to 2015. Andy has since passed away. The car’s current owner keeps his record of the restoration online here so that it is not lost.
 

Misc. Updates

I am trying to catch up on where I am today, but have not quite made it.  So here is an attempt to use some slightly older photos to fill in the gaps.

In these photos are a selection of things that have already been done, but not mentioned in the blog so far.  I have photos of the mounting bracket I made for the fuel cell, the various parts that were used to fix the old differential, like the new hardened axle, compared to an old one.  Fortunately, the gears in the diff were in extremely nice condition, so no work needed there, thank goodness.  I am also showing the bottom of the trunk floor area, and how much fiberglass work had to be done under there.  There is a recent pic of the pedal assembly being pre-fitted; although it is not quite done yet.  The dashboard is my next big project.  That, and the gaps between the body and the chassis at the rear bulkheads, . . .
