Newbie in Portland, OR-

[Streaky]

Thought I would give a proper introduction since I've already gotten a lot of information from you guys.

Just bought a 86/87 S3 Turbo - PROJECT. Front end was damaged. I haven't dug into it yet -due to work constraints- but looking forward to it. I've never owned a lotus, but I've been wanting an esprit for awhile. I've got some experience in rebuilding -but it's mainly been motorcycles.

I welcome advice. I plan on doing most of the work myself, but if anyone has a good local repair/mechanic shop -that would be appreciated.

Welcome to LEF Alden. My first piece of advice would be to buy a fibreglass repair book! Good luck with your project

Hi Alden,

Welcome to the forum. It's a great resource.

I'm also in PDX...a former owner (S2)...still on the hunt for the next one.

I remember seeing your car at NW Investment Car...super nice. I hope the damage is repairable.

Enjoy the process.

Best of luck with the repairs and welcome.

Thanks for the welcome. I'll try to post a pic sometime soon.

It WAS a nice car...we'll see how far back I'll have to go. (front end damage)

It should make for a good project none-the-less.
