Re: StatusUnknown: Carib Blue Mr2 Build
rebuild time!
Re: StatusUnknown: Carib Blue Mr2 Build
I just had the front end off probably the only caribbean blue '2 i've seen being broken ever.
However i've got a passenger wing if you want it. Got a tiny dent in the daftest of places, but you can have it for pennies. Got the bonnet too which is bent slightly downward on the drivers side, which is where i had my smash!

Re: StatusUnknown: Carib Blue Mr2 Build
Lol hard to find blue ones i've found too!
I'm not sure thinking for the time being might be looking a bit ghetto/rat, going to use my tools to fix it.
Tools include:
Cable Ties
Drill
Hammer
.....oh and maybe some more stickers

Re: StatusUnknown: Carib Blue Mr2 Build
Been a while since i've been on here
Bought a 200sx and since sold it aswell so back to the mr2 which is lying under a cover looking sorry for itself.
Think i'll prob just be selling it as a whole cant be bother breaking if for parts.
Either that or i try fix it up as it's not classed as a cat c or d or anything as no one has reviewed the damage and still has mot.

Re: StatusUnknown: Carib Blue Mr2 Build
Well now thinking infact i might fix the car as i still have the money from insurance and i have enough for some awesome coilovers and i still have my works which now have tyres
Would be a shame to have to let it go as it's a nice car . Got some plans which might not be to everyones taste.
I've got a roofrack with a thule faring on it which will be going on, that also with the works and slam the hell outa it, i would like it as low as will_bmx's or more maybe lower. I would defo like some bolt on arches but i dont think my wheels will be wide enough or have a low enough offset.
So anyway fingers crossed i can get "blue" back on the road
