Lotus Europa Fiberglass Finale - Wheel Wells - Engine Bay & Costs Revealed

In this episode, I wrap up the last of the major fiberglass work on my 1973 Lotus Europa before the car heads off for paint. This stage covers everything from finishing the wheel wells, dialing in the engine compartment, and smoothing out the front underbody. After weeks of cutting, patching, sanding, and reinforcing, the Europa’s shell is finally solid, sealed, and ready for the next big chapter. At the end of the video, I also share the true costs behind all the fiberglass work so far - materials, supplies, and what it really takes to get a classic Lotus body back into shape. If you’ve ever wondered why so many classic car projects stall during bodywork, or what it actually takes to finish fiberglass repairs properly, this video will give you a clear picture. The Europa is finally turning a corner—dust, resin, and all.
