Very Nice colour.
Personally not a fan of the vielside kit/sideskirts.
Keen to see more.

Thanks. The kit came with the car so figured I'd roll with it :) Almost finished the body...

Yeah I still have it but the 3SGE Beams is waiting for its transplant into the two. Little bit older and wiser now, no idea why I sold my last MR2 but the love is back :D

Finally got around to putting the primer on so she's all sanded back, nice and smooth now ready for some paint tomorrow and then a cut and polish on Tuesday.

Good Progress!
This wasnt the purple one that was for sale locally previously with mismatched engine lid and boot lid?
Any reason for the cut out in the front bumper?

Yes this is the one that was recently for sale. It has lots of things that needs fixing mechanically, interior and exterior but I'm slowly working through it all. The interior is looking very nice now, just need some carpet from Tristan to finish it. Once the paint is done I'll work on the suspension with the motor coming in last. Such a shame when people don't take care of such a nice car but I doubt you will notice its the same car after I've finished. The number plate fits over the cut out section on the front bumper. These are the only photos I have before I started working on it, you can't tell the paint is badly damaged here but if you know the car I'm talking about you will know how much of a bad shape it was in.

I unfortunately do. I inspected it previously before the person you bought it off bought it. Was a bit to much work for myself to take on so I gave it a miss.
Personally I think it would look 100x better if you can source a stock rear bumper and side vents (there is a bits for sale locally PM me for details)
Nevertheless, Great job on restoring it. Definitely needed some TLC look forward to continued progress.
Edit: I actually still have the engine lid of this sitting behind my shed - rivet holes and all....

Thanks for the offer will definately look at restoring factory down the track but for now need to use what I have to keep my cost down as I still have lots to restore. You don't know anyone selling any brake lines do you? Please PM me if you know someone with parts especially the brake lines as they are down to the metal.

I think this was the young blonde chicks car that f#cked everyone over 6 or so years ago on floor mats.
Good to see someone rebuilding it bigger and better.

I think you are right Kam. Good job on the build WFX. Let me know if you need any parts. Might have some lying around somewhere in my garage.
