Adam's mx250c build

8 Feb 2017, 6:50pm
Red leather seats arrived. Time to start listing parts for sale.
Exhaust and kit fitting next.

Black, with red and chrome

Can't go wrong with that! Same look I'm going for

Had an idea last night?

I think it has worked out ok.

Kit arrives tomorrow
Got one excited off Spring

Good idea with the fuel filler hose, however not sure how it works on the convertible version but on the coupe that part of the boot gets covered by the shell. The "boot lid" starts about half way down the existing boot space.

Its fine. Already built a convertible."I thought it was finished" thread.
So I know it's fine there.

Are you going for the tribute "speed build" record?

If there is one I think we can beat it

What car is the fuel filler neck from?
Is it the MX5 or another car?

Filler neck is the original Mazda.
Shortened the two rubber hoses and removed the bracket from the bottom of the filler tube.

If you are doing this, ensure it clears the boot hinge.

Exhaust and wheels and a bit of bonding today.
In between the showers of course.

Loving those wheels, and I see your going for vent delete at the rear, very interesting. Will you be making removable vent covers for the 3 holes at the front? I don't think anybodys done that yet

Just the norm at the front, bit of grill to go behind.
I like the wheels too! Just need to get some big enough spacers to fill the monumental gap.

Well, I guess he is happy with it because I've come home from work and the driveway is empty, unless of course it's been stolen!

Its finished already?


No, just the rear end. Has already been a several hour test drive!

So he's running it with just the rear on? How does that look? :) I was curious how one would look with just the front end on and rocketbunney arch extensions and ducktail at the rear to get a long front/short tail look
