What a lovely thread (just read from start to finish) and great looking and condition Elise, no update for over a year so thought I would bump it to see if there is anything new with the car.

Thanks for the complement, its been far to long, time for an update! I've enjoyed others build threads, glad I could give back.

Is this bolted to the chassis or just to the rear underbelly?

Doesn't look the strongest to me!

The rear towing eye is bolted to the rear sub frame. Its not a large bolt but the car is super light. To put this into perspective you'd need 2.3 Elise's to match the weight of the 991 turbo.
