The front wheel arches on the Mk2 car that we showed at Newark weren't quite upto scratch. There was way to much filler in them, so now that the car is going to it's new owner on Friday (don't want to steal his thunder, as he will probably post something on here soon) I needed to mould them and make new arches before it went.
Here are the original "filled" version (sorry about the dodgy shadows)
The mould taken from them
Old arch removed
New grp arch tech screwed into place and glassed on the rear
And finally the joint filled with bonding paste and sanded back.
I thought this link below might interest any builders or prospective buyers of a mk2 MX250 GTO. I think he might have copied Chris's idea because it is a very recent build! http://www.simpsondesign.net/

Thanks Bladerunner, but most of Jim Simpson's designs predate my project. Simpson Design Kits are very nice quality, but a bit pricey at $8000+.
I have messaged Tribute on a couple of occasions regarding importing an MX250c to the US. Can't seem to get a response. Did he bite the dust or is he just not interested in selling his kits in the USA?
