Hi there iv just joined , and thought id say hello, iv been inspired to join after seeing the mx250 and also by reading your blogs seeing your builds.
I eventually will be building one myself already brought a 93 eunos roadster, and when money allows (self employed) will be buying the kit.
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.
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 . 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!
