I like the Mk3 wheels look. I did it the hard way though and bought a proper shed like example when I was 32 with the idea of doing a rebuild. Five years on it is all done 
but now due to penny issues I can't afford the MOT, Insurance & tax. Still thats life,------ one day soon maybe.Boddney wrote:Hi Andy,
That is a proper smart looking example.
I was 12 when the Mk1 came out and I to saw one and thought that I would always have one.
Any way I'll give Paul Woods at Woodsport and Jinxy a PM to see if they have any clips spare.

Probably because it spent most of its life in the garage (keeping dry, not being fixed!) Surprised about the sills though, sailed through the last MOT bodywork/structural wise and was kept garaged until you bought it a month or so back. ,I took of the side valence and found lots of rust and holes. I am dropping it of at the body shop tommrow as I need to get it mot I've just got hold of a new seat for the drivers seat so things are going really well . Any one tell me the colour code I think it's somthing like 9b3 can not remember do you know Graham cheers andy.not a colour I remember from my old Toyota Parts Dept days...looks lush though!..the paint code is on the VIN plate..on the bulkhead in the frunk. check out http://www.toyotareference.com/mr2#MR for a list of standard paintcodes. Might be a case of taking off the fuel cap for a match?? It was apparently resprayed approximately 3 years before I bought it (which would make it around 2005) but the previous owner did not have any details of the respray as it was done before he bought it. If you take a look at the picture below which I took back in 2008 it certainly looks similar to Caribbean Blue (8B6 I believe). Other than that, taking the fuel flap to a paint shop would probably be your best bet. And yes, with the colour coded door handles and wing mirrors and lack of pinstripe/side mouding it certainly looks more modern!
