Re: WIP: Lotus 88 USA 1981 Elio De Angelis
Getting close to completion. Assembled and installed wheels. Added front wing and steering wheel. Also added couple of
last oil lines. Basically only rear view mirrors are left to add. After I added cooling duct inlets for rear brakes to side body
panels, top body cover does not fit any more. Instructions suggest to add then after body cover is in place. But that would
mean it will not be removable any more. Gotta think about it. Don't want to hide internals forever. I think I will just let
top cover to seat loose. As expected this one stands on only 3 tires. Front right is about 1mm off the ground. Nothing I can
do about that now. Will put it on the shelf and forget about it.

I call this one completed. Out of my pipeline, as far as I am concerned.
