Been on a week or so now and appreciate all the help and advice so far.
Car is getting there too, get it back on Wednesday with all new brakes.
First time I've had an MR2 or a Toyota for that matter but always buy Japanese.
Car looks like this at the mo...
Planning on keeping it pretty standard as I'd like to keep it original and retro, this means sorting some shoddy stuff previous owners have done.
Anyway hello...

thanks all, is tidy enough for now, needs a front light straightening up and front bumper painting and re-fitting from a minor bump (last owner). Insured for November before being garaged to finish off the work but am enjoying the experience for now, lot's of fun...

If only I had the cash haha, just had new brakes all round and a recon os front calliper, plus coolant was like sludge after 4 years of not moving, so concentrating on making it drive and handle well and then think i'll keep it looking as original as possible. Got some rev2 alloys ready after their refurb think i'm going to paint them black. Other than that I have no idea. Am new to all this and don't have a clue what I'm doing...

Can't go wrong with a Bomex front, but you'll find you need side skirts and rear spats or bumper to bring it all into line
