Re: Isolating the fuel source to quarter panel

Cheers for the response, Didn't think it would be that hard to remove the fuel tank but stand corrected by some of the people who has done it on this forum. It's the vapours that I need to worry about which I imagine could be lingering for awhile even if fuel cap and drain plug is removed. Was wonde...

Isolating the fuel source to quarter panel

Hi all I'm replacing the passenger side quarter panel with an original Toyota one. Plenty of welding and ignition source planned so I need to isolate the fuel from it before I start. There's two options: remove the fuel tank completed or the connecting tube between the tank and fuel cap. Only the en...

Re: Using the rear tow eye

Just got a bid on shiply this morning.
A one man band transporter business.
He wants £55.00 for moving the MR2, ~400 metres.

Does that seem like a fair price?
I might check my local garage to see if they can do it cheaper.

Re: Using the rear tow eye

Thanks for the reply guys. kaiowas I did consider pushing it but it's a main road and didn't want to risk it, even if I do it 5 in the morning. If I tow it from the rear, I take it someone has to reverse steer the MR2 or would the steering lock be sufficient for this? I worked out I have to turn the...

Using the rear tow eye

Hi all I want an opinion on this... I'm moving house this weekend, only 300-400 metres down the road and I'm taking my MR2 with me. The car is basically a rolling chassic with the engine and gearbox. I'm restoring it as a side project. Would using one of the rear tow eye with a rigid tow bar be suff...

Inner quarter panels replacement

Hi all I'm in the process of replacing the quarter panels on my MK1. I've got the old one off, cleaned up all the spot welds and the new panel lines up all fine, ready to be spot welded back on. Problem is the inner panel is a little bit rusty, especially along the wheel arch. I can fabricate some a...
