Saved this Elky from a wrecking
yard in Reno NV October 1990. Hit on front right fender. No motor,
tranny or wheels. I fixed the front end, installed new motor, tranny
and wheels. Then drove it home to Colorado.
|
|
Started this long project by cutting a hole in
hood to fit over the tunnel ram.
|
|
Fixed the rust, filled the front marker light,
did body work on the fenders and primed them.

work was finished on the door then primed.
