New Mx250 Build

Think your back lights are spot on!

They really suit the car.

They remind me of retro Ford?

Rear lights

I think they are old BMW 1802 or 2002, I have thought about the same for my Dino

yep they look like bmw 2002 lights pre 1973

they are indeed bmw 2002 lights, skip back a few pages and you'll see we played the "guess where my lights are from" game! a few months back,

I was originally going for the cortina lights as above, but they don't have the reversing light built in like the bmw lights

apparently they are also upside down according to axels picture

No, the BMW ones were upside down, yours are correct!
Hey when we build cars we can do what we want!!

Nice car! To be honest when I saw you were wrapping it I thought you were maybe one of the many cowboys in the industry. There's a guy in Perth who put his Impreza in to get wrapped and got it back a month later, with a knackered clutch, bald tyres and it was only half wrapped! Looks like you're the real deal though :)



Where did you get these mirrors? Can you also talk to me about how you installed those side repeaters?

They must be stupid trying to wrap a clutch in sticky back plastic...

Its been a while (7 years), my mx250 has been tucked away for the last 5 years, during the start of the covid apocalypse, I decided to get it back on the road.

Will get some pics uploaded in the next few days.

The bodywork has faired really well, no signs of corrosion on the underside, probably due to the fresh waxoyl I pumped in before it went into the garage.

Needed a new fuel pump to get it running again, aircon still works!

Not sure why my pictures aren't showing up?

winner! So this is as it was when I pulled it from the garage

Front end off... vinyl is off, endless blocking and sanding , couple of coats of 2k primer, more sanding, 3 coats of ferrari rosso 2k, and voila

Joking aside it has been a few weeks of graft to get it this far, filling the bonnet scoops was a fair bit of effort, I think I prefer it not looking so 250gto at the front, the eunos badge on the bonnet isn't fitted, but I probably will be using it

i thought it was a lotus badge at first

great work
