Yes I nearly made the rather embarrassing mistake of buying a set - my finger was hovering over the bid button when I suddenly remembered I've got a T bar - tis true, I am that dumb
always thought these are a big con, I mean nip up the breakers & have a look at various Audi's BMW's even Passat's boots they all have small struts that would probably be fine & cost £1 to buy?
try www.biggred.co.uk- they do seal kits, I got a set for my ZX (rear caliper seals are notoriously difficult to find) but I'm unsure on the MR2, but worth a email though.
Agreed Halford paint is about as good as coloured cats p1$$. I bought 6 cans for work, 1 of which was okish. Their Plastic primer is crap too, all flaked off after less than a week!! Use a motorfactor/paint specialist, you may pay slightly more but it'll be much better stuff & cost you less in t...
have to admit I do like the Bra idea for the MR2, but mainly for storage, a extra layer of protection for a pretty expensive & vulnerable bit of bodywork - the nosecone.
Its it only me that thinks that both the £253+ & $275 for the complete rear quarter, acutally doesn't sound that bad, esp when you compare it to the £150+ that JDG want for the 3 repair sections? At the end of the day the steel thats their is now what 20+ years old? so roughly £506+ later & ...
Well I thought about the shotgun approch but fear it may provide more 'ventilation' holes than the old girl currently has. I'm thinking the mouse will probably survive the onslaught of pellets (that & being quite a small cabin there is the quite likley outcome of losing a limb or 2) in a tom &am...
Why buy a mouse deterrent when you already own a cat?! Well ours is a Farm cat & a top rodent killer. But if you we're Mr Mousey & there was the option of puddy cats mouth or nice warm mr2 what would you choose :lol: Jinxy yeah I don't plan on selling the old girl anytime soon, mind you I'd...
the only 'good' news is when (eventually) I do the restore it'll be completely stripped of every nut, bolt, washer & screw & I do have another Mr2 in boxes. But thats not the point! Kevin I'd thought about one of those devices but I also have a Cat & a Dog, I don't know if it will effect...
Took a look over my one today, its a depressing thing to do but hey, only really went to change the mini dehumidifier. I noticed the leather on the handbrake handle had pulled back, like it had shrunk. Thought huh thats kinda odd, then hang on, its like what? 20 years old? it shouldn't shrink!! When...
I saw that one on ebay too, clicked to add it to my watch list when the page refreshed it said item ended with buy it now! I was temped but with cars in double figures!! littering the garage, garden & surround area, my nuts would probably be for sale too.
Thought about getting mine polished or dimond cut. But I'll be taking them to a referb company to be done, I'll have enough work sorting the car itself
mmm was defently fitted to the mk1:
Thats what goes in place of that dimond shaped blank in the door shut - apparently.
But I thought the reels for the seatbelts were further down than that?
erm me too :shock: :oops: :whistle: There was one on eBay US a couple of months ago, grey jobbie (genuine) I was hoping to nick it as he didn't put up that its was a taliored one, he eventually did & the price rocketed out of my range. #-o If you keep your MR2 indoors & it only comes out to ...
