Cheers Tony, need all the encouragement I can get, although I didn't think I'd get the front end to a point where it looked half decent and it's nearly there so I'm sure the back will be a soluble.
Hi, I am building a mk1 mx250C and my front end should be on by the end of this week . I had a little trouble with the rear but nothing as bad as that . Mostly getting the boot to sit straight was my nightmare . Keep go
Normal front like yours . Having trouble to get it to sit right though!!! Mines got side vents and scoops on the bonnet plus high back bucket seats . Hopefully will be at the BBQ
last pic definitely looks best to me, horizontal and nearer the side. presumably separate fog and reversing light mounted below bumper (thats if fogs not incorporated into those main units)?
Fog and reversing lights going to be hanging from the bottom.
Getting close to the end of the dry fit. Does anyone who's done the Mk2 have some pictures of the relief cuts on the front to fit the wings? There some of the rear wings on the Mk2 build thread but not the front.
A50 - have to do some work on the bayonet adapters as their a bit rotten and have to replace to cotton braided wires. My son asked me what the funny stuff coming out of the lights was when we took them off the car at the scrappy, he'd never seen cotton braided cables before despite being in his 3rd year as an apprentice mechanic.

My 2nd ever modified car was a Wolseley 1500, lowered/roof chop etc, and all the cotton had rotted away leaving all black wires. It made for some very interesting wiring problems

I have searched for a better pic for the front wings, but this is the only one that shows them on the Mk2:
Finally bit the bullet and added the wing vents. Took some courage to cut the kit as I've never done anything like this before but quite pleased with the result.
