Head fully stripped, degreased, valve seats reground and cams reshimmed. Every single part degreased and checked. All brackets, pulleys etc. painted in black ...

Huge thanks to Peter from Sbits for sourcing 5 very important items for my mk1 t-bar roof rebuild. I ordered 6 grommets from Toyota and only received 1. Was told by my local Toyota that 1 had the last 1. So asked and called everyone I could think off and no luck, all send they were discontinued. The...

not many 4agze with a LSD. They normally sell for a few £££.

I remember when I was looking for one, they are impossible to get.

Looking good Peter.

Hi Rob, tear drops are not the best but okay condition. Will be having them reconditioned.

Will be using standard silver, but have read somewhere the original colour is more light grey rather than silver. But I am not to keen on the original colour.

this is the part number I used: 13503-62030

Thanks Tim, regarding the ramps, they do give you plenty if space. On the pic they are not at there max height as they extend to about 18 inches. All you do is drive on and then adjust the height with a large socket or a spanner. I have 2 sets (second set is slightly different) I will have one set f...

So jobs done this week: Car now fully under sealed MK2 turbo arb fitted to rear went to fit the new whiteline front arb but found more rust on the passenger side where the bolts...

Pictures to follow. Import / SC rear lights with number plate holder (no bulb holders – please note standard MK1 bulb holders DO NOT FIT – you may be able to alter some but I will not comment on feasibility) - £25 the lot will take the sc rear lights. Can arrange collection but would require the it...

Dash now removed and found some rust. or should I say a few places of rust. http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/autobody321/Aw11%20MR2%20MK1%20Superedition/leak%20fix/DSCF2593_zps4c87f6ca.jpg they was 2 small holes, about a few mm wide, but I had to have a poke and the result is below. Got to fi...

thanks for the info, will be working on this next week.

1 silly question - when I pour water in the vent (below the windscreen) should it always drain from the side drain no matter how much water I pour in.

thanks boondougal, still along way to go. Progress is slow as most of my time is taken up by my lovely son :) Not happy with the rear quarter panels, as spotted something not quite right, so will be getting that sorted and then re-painted but that has to wait now as I want to get this car on the roa...

But not done the floor pan as I found some rust (2 very small holes about 1cm each) so going to remove all the underseal 1st and the get it fixed before any underseal is applied. Its not what I needed, but b...

Hi all, I have revamped the t-bar roof, fitted new seals, screws and other bits. Which has stopped all leaks I was getting from the roof. But I still have water coming in from someplace. So out came the hose pipe and found that water was coming in from the grill which is located at the bottom of the...
