This will look good once it's done.

Did you go 'Super White II' or another white?

Should look good once finally done, and serve nice comfortable daily (aircon ) that still manages to have striking good looks of an MR2!

The white is just a base gloss white, Didn't want to get any certain colour mixed as i was unsure how it would turn out. The white should also compliment the RP01's - hopefully

That looks sweet, is that rattle can or a proper gun job?

Spray gun and compressor.

Would never attempt to spray a car with spray cans.

A few body kit pieces for my other car, never a whole car.

Due to an unfortunate knee injury progress has pretty much stopped.

Bid on these on ebay tonight as they were fairly cheap, always liked contrasting seats in cars especially in the Honda Integra Type R (white on white with red interior) thought I would try the same for my Two. The main reason i bought these as i think i have unfortunately damaged the passenger seat when i was standing on the one side while sanding roof.


Will probably end up modifying the existing rails as its the easiest option.

As i figured when i started this, my equipment I have isn't completely up for the task.

Compressor I have cant quite keep a high pressure so cars almost turning into a patchy- satin white. Compressor is fine with little panels (and the bodykits I have done previously) but not a whole car. and the car WILL be painted next weekend in its final coat when my neighbor lends me his larger compressor.

Also, what would be the largest tyre I can go with stock suspension up front, was mentioned 215/40 or 215/35 - which would be better to use?

Got it for 1k, but now its more like 4k (with the wheels and a basic stereo) and its still not done [88]

Going Panel Van White except its going to be a deeper white (its pretty much white with nothing else in)

Easiest Colour to paint, and it shows the least dents/dirt ideal for a daily which when done will be racking up about 500-800km a week.

Plus i love the look of white on white

Started stripping this for a bit more detail respray.

Removed the rear roof molding (thta wraps around roof/rear glass), as well as the rear quater windows and vents. Unfortunately noticed a nice long crack in the windscreen on the passenger side - so that is going to be removed tomorrow and will continue when its out.

Quite the nuisance considering the windscreen is almost half the purchase cost of the car!

Will update with some pictures tomorrow...

Paint is done finally (only taken 6 odd months - took longer as i went over the whole car again and found a few more dents i stupidly had missed). Quite happy with the colour, its very bright as its pure white - now the enkei wheels need to be repolished as they look yellow in comparison [:I]. Was looking at getting some 17x8/9 Desmond Wisesports but I have to keep remembering this car is just going to be a daily.

Few bits yet to be painted, wasnt happy with outcome so reattempting them (roof, fuel id, one headlight cover) apart from that - car needs a rub back, rinstall parts (vents, rear windows, door and roof trims and windscreen replaced (happening Tuesday) and will be finished.

Also picked up some coilovers from Dylan (Tien SS)- just so i can lower it a little as it sat like a 4WD with the 17s on.


Please dont chase me for having a turbo engine lid/boot lid, I took what I could find locally in WA. Didnt want to repair panels I didnt have to - panels just bolted straight on, still need to be aligned


Wire hanging out is the trickle battery charger lol - and yep, bit of overspray I will need to clean up [:p]


And the Interior - got my work cut out to make this look decent once again.
