MX250 c. Number 3
Well, I’ve gone and done it .
Two donor cars purchased . Time to make my 3rd mx. I have big plans for this one. Watch this space . I’m back , did you miss me?:icon_wink: |
Of course!!! Let the build commence. Good luck.
|
2 doner cars!!!! Happy building
|
|
Yes, two donors . The parts on the blue one are going on the silver one.
The blue one is rotten underneath but the mk2 is mostly sound |

Pretty certain she will notice my new garden ornament soon. |
Good luck Drum. I remember you helping me out a lot during my first build. What state is the interior in in the Mk1? If you are looking for a new home for Mk1 interior bits I am in the market due to starting No 2 very soon.
|
I have most of the interior left , trimmed in red .
I’ve sold the red leather seats but still have door cards , centre console with red gaitors |
Scrap donor has now been collected , even gave me £100 for it.
Build on the mk2 is at full speed. Mostly lots of engine work planned, major service and a bigger aluminium radiator to be fitted. New seats have arrived and lots of interior where fitted in the last few days . It’s all go, go ,go |
Today was cambelt and water pump change , should it really have took 6 hours ?

Image size
Can you resize your pics to 800x600? I have the same issue when I post pics from my phone, the Madabout pages scale to the size of the pic, not vice versa. I use "Paint", but no doubt there are other ways. Keep posting progress.:smile:
|
Take two, today was refit of cam belt as it didn’t fire today .
Tomorrow will be doing it again as still no start up, but having searched the internet I think it may be possible that I’ve installed the sensor wheel , behind the pulleys , the wrong way round. I only say that as I didn’t know there was a right and wrong way to install it. I hope it sorts 5he problem . |
It works , it works . Damn sensor wheel was the wrong way round , it took 10mins to rectify . Simple really, if only I had known this 2 days ago.
|
First drive after the six week mechanical rebuild and refresh has gone well.
Everything worked, was a bit loud but nothing that can’t be fixed. |
I now have door cards , only took 6 hours !!
|
Delivery due from the states today , excited
|
Chris and Dan now have the body at their place. Making a few modifications to the rear shell then I can start the conversion , firstly though I’ve got the track day booked at castle Coombes to give the car a good shake down.
|
Off to the tuners today , I really hope it will be good news (and not too expensive )
Fingers crossed |
198.6 bhp
Track day went very well, the car didn’t miss a beat , just a few tweaks of the suspension were needed. Now to continue with the interior refit . However got a question or two , please read my new “electrical issue” thread Cheers guys |
Any actual pictures of this car espeviallywith the mods?
