This is what happens when you give Dan an angle grinder on a Friday afternoon

Looking forward to seeing this progress - would like a mk2 convertible version

Hi Jamie, keep checking for updates. The panels will fit both Mk1 and 2 with some trimming of panels when bonding them on to the base car.

Hi This looks great have you a price worked out for the convertible kit?

Peter

Probably around the £1500 mark, obviously it will not need the rollcage either!

Will keep an eye out!

Progress on the soft-top rear end. The boot lid needed "deconstructing" to reduce the height at the rear to follow the line of the rear wings.



The top of the rear wings needed sectioning and lowering to work with the soft top. Interesting to see the width and length the kit adds to the car whilst the top of the wing is missing.



Rear works much better with the top of the wings lowered.



Removable hardtop anyone?

The buck is now 95% finished. The rear lights came from my "that will come in handy for something" box, I have no idea what they are from but they really suit this car.

Looks great - would love to see some more pics from different angles...

Let's pray for some sun on Monday and I will get it out of the workshop and take some better pictures for you.

We "primed" the convertible today, borrowed the wheels and numberplate from the red 250 to mock up a more finished looking car. And then the sun came out!!!!

Is it still possible to fit a standard hard top to the car?
Any chance of a few photos with one on???

Yes you can still fit the original hardtop on after conversion. I don't have one to show you, but will Photoshop something and post on here in a few days.

Nice one, I didn't think there would be an issue but I had to ask.

Convertible MX250?

It's going to be available in a convertible too?!

I gotta get me one of these!

Progress on the new rear wing moulds. Final sanding before a coat of PVA. Some of the hardtop moulds will still be interchangable.



Finished moulds needing trimming and "cracking" off

Get rid of those rear vents!!!

As with the hardtop version of the MX250 we will be offering a "smooth" rear wing version. Seanick already has this option on his car.

Count me in!!!

It does look a lot cleaner wthout the rear vents. Very sleek.

Just need to find a way to see one in person before I break out the cheque book.

In the mean time, I'm checking the site daily for the latest happenings with the design of the kits and drooling over how beautiful the shape is

We may try to put together an MX250C for the Donnington Show, if we get enough time and the right base vehicle turns up at the right price.

As soon as the panels are out of the mould (Wednesday?) I will post some more pictures, and retouch them to remove the vents.

Hi Chris, as it happens, I've been looking into how I can make it to Donnington - I'm karting at a stag do on the Saturday but could fly down to East Midlands airport early on Sunday for a good look round.

Are you looking to base the next MX250c on a Mk1 again?

Also, I was checking out your various tweaks to the front end earlier - are you still planning to offer a choice of front ends to customers based on your previous molds?

Thanks,

Mike

Wow that's one sexy looking car how it is. Can't wait for paint.

Yes, the demo MX250 will be a Mk1, hopefully with tan leather interior.
You will be able to choose which ever front end you wish to go with the rear, I just need to find time to make a grill insert for the Large opening version.

Thank you for your kind words. More pictures tomorrow.
