1991 Lotus Esprit - A quick video on the support for the body

I created a means to support the body of the car while keeping it mobile. It will likely get stored in a shipping container to keep it out of the elements and now I have a relatively easy way to move to and from the container deep in the woods on my property.

Enjoying your build!

great idea for any car owner as your wheels will never be stolen.....you know that feeling when you come back to the car aftre a night out and someone has been busy. (wow..thats some frame)

You’re holding up pretty well, all things considered. Stay strong!

If it’s any consolation I’m in the same boat, although I also need to source all my parts since my Esprit has next to none… enjoying the updates. Hope it continues to go well

Thanks and good luck on yours.

Any idea how much the body weighs? Also can you the seams where the factory bonded the top and bottom halves of the body?

[@Rick_D]

I haven’t picked it up by hand but I seen it done in online videos. Just from its weight when attempting to lift a corner or to reposition it, I’d guess between 450 to 550 lbs. no visible seams as of yet.
