Hi all,
Unfortunatly the MR2 needs to go, My missus has a new a job and I have to collect 2 kids after work every night and can't do it with 2 seats and im gutted.
The car has served me well and has never let me down in the year or so I have had her, I have fixed various bits but as a g plate rev1 nasp it still has its issues, mainly cosmtic ones and also isnt worth much.
I need to maximise the money I will get back and am not sure wether it is worth spending to make money or not.
Bodywork has seen better days, but this isnt my issue as I will of course be polishing and T-cutting like mad for the next week or so.
The gearbox crunches into second and always has and unless I sell to a enthusiast it will put people off....dont see I can do much about this?
My leather seats are destroyed, the drivers seat is more foam than leather......there is a set of cloth seats on here......£40.
The aerial is suck up and needs a new cats tail...£20
OSR brake disc is warped, always has been, so fel a judder under braking and it has also put movement in the caliper, although confient the movement will go with replacement discs, second hand discs and new pads.......£50-60ish new £100 ish
Dash trim is good but heaer panel has small 1cm scratch on a button and gone from black to silver and very noticable....used panel ...........£20 or black nail varnish....£3
Not sure wether it is worth spending the oney or not, the car will always crunch into second and its done 153000 miles, I need to achieve as much money as I can but dont want to spend 2 weeks and loads of time and money to not make any extra.
your thoughts guys and gals??
Is it worth it?

Go buy a car for < £500 with 6 months MOT and tax to pick the kids up in, take the MR2 off the road and restore it back to its former glory..
