I agree on the rear lights gives it a muscle car look in my opinioin

The car is looking fab. Great colour choice !

Agree on the lights. Love the rears as they do set it off. The side repeaters are off a mini ?

Anyone else spend a lot of their journeys looking at light options for their creations ? I seem to look at rear fog lights and wing mirrors - a lot.

Hi All

Thought I best give an update on the build of the MX250, as I can see you are all getting on with your builds in the last couple of months after the winter hibernation.

I have been doing the final fitting of the bits and pieces that need to fit to the car in ready for the final coats of paint once it gets warm enough. Number plate's fitted so that I can get it registered ready for the MOT.
Have had to strip the front end of the engine down again today after discovering that the crank shaft oil seal had decided to give up and start leaking oil.So after today is to strip it all down again and prep for final coats of paint, and fit new front screen as it has cracked.

( One of these days I will also update the Useful Links thread with more finished car photos too. )

As your car looks great. :cool:

Thanks Paul

Only got the car on the road last weekend and it didn't make it out of the MOT centre before passers by where stopping to photograph it.

That picture was the best I got at the moment, as I still fitting the mesh and front light covers. When weather picks up I will photograph it better and post final photos on here.
