This is going to be a really dull thread until I can get more pictures, and more parts! But for now here is my 1992 Eunos Roadster 1.6 S-Special. I picked the car up on the 19th of Feb 2017 with Jack (Jackboy) after considering buying one for a while now. The timing seemed perfect as I've just moved house and become a Dad...  I hope to hell it doesn't let me down or i'll never hear the end of it from the wife! The previous owner seemed to have made some nice mods to the car already, and some odd ones, but generally I really like it, even things like the wooden steering wheel are starting to grow on me! Im looking to change a few bits, but with a what i've mentioned above I doubt funds will be that forthcoming. I do plan on trying to buy a Moss Cobalt exhaust, but for some reason when I placed the product in my basket this morning it had 15% off. When I went to pay no discount... Any way, here are a few pics that I've got so far!    |

Just ordered a whole load of new lights, as for some reason I don't have any reversing lights or any high beam?! Plus the interior ones are... well pretty useless  Ill update with pics when they arrive. |

This looks like it's in quality condition!
I'm looking at getting a Cobalt soon, really lovely sound, and great value.

buying a 2 seater sports car just as you become a dad! you have an understanding wife, usually have to wait for a mid life crisis and the kids to grow up to get one of these and then you still have to have a spare family car   |

Show us your pinch welds!!! You've got those pics! I cant put any pics up atm. Photobucket seems to have been saying no to my phone for a few months now. Plus they need a good polish off to show the splendour. Plus my phone camera is poor. |

I had owned it for about 6 years and the wife managed to get me to sell it to buy a 'Family' car, even though she had a nice new Polo. The family car I bought for her she hated and wanted her polo back, so I agreed if I could buy a 'Toy' again. She has been quite understanding, but also thinks I'm having a young/mid life crisis any way! |

A very small and very dull update, but the first of my parcels has arrived. New headlights, sidelights, reverse lights and interior LED's. For some reason my full beam on passenger side keeps going off on, and I have no reverse lights at all! (I'm sure I'm about to discover this is something other than actual bulbs!) Plus the headlights are quite old and not great, so though they could do with some extra power, same as the interior ones! Second package should be hear in the next couple of days, then its onto fitting!  |

I know the images are not great, but today I started by just changing out the interior 'lights' for some LEDs.  Original left, LED on the right.

Well done Jim! That is going to be a nice place to sit in when cruising to Wales in the early morning twilight! |
