Well I took the plunge and bought a mk1 eunos roadster.
Don’t think I’ll be chucking a rotary at this stage.
Quick paint job 12 months ticket, enjoy the spring with the roof down and move it along
This thing must one of the remaining few solid ones
I’ll post some pics of the progress

Did you do any repainting before selling on and did you get much use of it with the lockdown?

Is there lights in there or air scoops ?
Not sure about heaters , very rarely use them I guess .
But they do help keep it cool I guess

Hey Malcolm,
Yes indeed, Was bought at a good price in order to make a few quid.
I know the hairdressing business would never take off, Im not the ideal role model with my upside down head.
I threw £500 at it with paint and lacquer.
Got a bit of use out of it, drives out with Emma. Went on a drive out with the Worcester Car club around Malvern.
Its a cracking little car, the new owner has got a gem that will never need welding. Its in fantastic condition.
With my purchase, the £500 outlay on paint and the sale I've made a nice 37% profit. which if I put my business head on, thats good in my book.

It is if you dont drive the RX8 lol
The new owner said to me last night, this thing is so good, Im nervous that theres something wrong with it, its too good.
I said, Im not a trader, Im a car enthusiast, this need to go to a good home to be enjoyed, if youre nervous then walk away and I'll sell to someone else.
......he cottoned on quickly

Best thing about a soft top is throwing a cage in is much easier
Dash out is defo recommended.
As regards to heater, it honestly won't save you that much weight, when I pulled all my junk out it just didn't weigh much BUT with taking it out it just makes getting to anything behind the dash soooo much easier, like wiring and obviously because race car.
