I've gone for the hard top but depends where you live and what your using it for. Weekends or special occasions with the Mrs on a sunny day. I'd like to take mine to Monte Carlo and back. Eventually:-)

Sorry, im Joe. Chris is making an alternative version of the 250 for me. Taking his time bout it but being slowly developed round everyone else's kits. Taken 6 months to get a grill and headlights and one side if the car showing signs of a decent shape. Bin watching blogs since january. :thumb:

Hello, thanks for your welcomes, eventually I will be building a hard top version, and my inspiration for building one is until I started working for myself again ,I used to have a hobby restoring classic cars , the last one being a 74 mercedes 450sl. Now when I do get spare time im kicking around twiddeling my thumbs, so I thought kit car! and when I started looking around they were all lotus 7 copys or a mr2 based f430,s ,then I came across the mx250 (ad on ebay) which is different and although a kit not as difficult I would imagine as something with a space frame. Also being based on a brilliant little sports car as the mx5 (after all if it wasn't for the mx5 we wouldn,t have the porsch boxer)

Hi Harvey

Thanks for joining in :biggrin: . You have made a good start by buying the Eunos rather than a UK MX5, it should be rust free, fingers crossed.

I hear what you are saying about being self employeed, great boss, bad pay!
