thanks lumix, i was hesitant when i first seen the car with the original faded colour, but im wrapped with the 2 pac Mica red...

JDMR288 we fixed the front bar by pop riveting a plate behind the skin, and then plastic welding the skin back together, followed by some light sanding then a skim of bumper putty (flexible bog really) then rubbed her back again...took a little fiddling around but was well worth it as toyota qouted over $700 for a new one that they didnt even know they had in stock...

did some more work today...painted up the light surround and front grill....gloss black.. looks unreal.. gotta get some pics up...

also spewing.. bought a new C pillar Vent from Toof, and dad must of put it on top of his car, and drove off, found it down teh road all mangled... spewing!!!

That looks excellent! Top colour - haven't seen one in that red before. Your wheels are very similar to the Enkei 'Racing' rims I have on mine, but yours appear two-tone in the pics?? Some very nice work.

they are a gunmetal center with a polished lip..

thanks for the comments guys..

on the save for a rear cut now

well i thought i better update..

i spun a big end bearing in the trusty ol 4age!!!


so this ensured!!

I HAVE IT


SO here is pics!!!

Picking it up -literally at ichiban






one happy lad!!!




a set of goodies that i found already

well it has been awhile.....

the engine is in and running great....

have since taken most of the exterior trim off to get painted, and repainted.....

purchased a 158mm crank and am going to put that in soon....

hooked my boost gauge up and running a swell 8psi...hoping to get 10psi from the larger crank and ABV plating....

here are some newer pics....

Looking good Kyle. Really good.

I think I've asked before, but who did the bodywork and respray? Did they do any rust repairs? Were their rates OK?

Cheers
Mister2

the shop that did the repairs was in ingleburn.....


wreck - a - mended smash repairs....no rust repair as there was no rust to repair......body work was done mostly by my old man and i.........and then the major works finished by them...

had mates rates for it....as my old man knows the owner....they are slow though.......

I guess being slow is part of getting mates rates. The end result does look good though.

yeh i would say they would have done work on mine in their free time or non busy times....

it doesn't look to shabby.... it was never meant to be a "show" quality finish.... just a nice streeter...i think it pulled it off well..

should up date i also have some 20mm spacers for the rear waiting to go on....they look swell, just need to roll the gaurds

wow.... havent updated this in quite a long time...

quite a bit has happened.....

i was run off the road by a camry driver with no lights/indicator at about 9 pm at night a month or so ago, bent 2 of my rims, so at the moment im running the stockers all round...

too that oppurtunity to buy a daily car, take the MR2 off the road, replaced all teh bushes with superpro....greased them greatly, the car feels great again...

put a 175mm NEVO crank pulley on it...

detailed the cam covers

sprayed the under side of the car chassis black...in teh wheel arches aswell...

im thinking of converting it to turbo, but at the moment i have the task of pulling the gearbox out and fitting a LSD centre in it....


that is my next task...

here are some pics of it.....from a few of the updates

this was on of the wheels.....
