any cheshire mx tributes?

Has anyone in cheshire or nearby built or own an mx250? I am considering ordering, but would like to see one in the flesh to see the proportions. I already have a good donor car

Hi. I will check back through old invoices and see what I can find. Maybe a map showing the location Tribute kits/cars/owners might be a good idea.....

Thanks chris I'm looking at a possible April build (that's when the mot is due). Do you have connection for delivery?

What is included in the mx250c kit? Also what finish is it delivered to the customer in? Will it need extensive filling, flashing sanding, pinholes etc?

How exactly are the 2 parts held onto the body? Does it make the car lighter or heavier, affect the handling at all?

The rear tub is riveted and bonded, it's very sturdy. The front is attatched via the original wing mountings(which are removed) and then bolted along the bulk head and in front of the radiator and also via extension plates in the engine bay. Also some strengthening bars under neath are a good idea.

Not really any heavier, handles pretty much the same as standard , although mine is lowered and has adjustable shocks.
