Opinions on breaking a car?

[MR2 Rich]

I keep seeing MR2's come up for sale at very reasonable prices on eBay, as I need a few bits for my car I keep getting tempted to get another one. I need a few colour specific parts and a few other bits but obviously there will be a lot more stuff to come off it. I have the space to keep the car a few months at least and then would have the shell taken away with what's left. I'm not doing this to make money I just want to get the parts for my car and help a few other out with parts.

Does this sound like a good idea or will it be hard to shift parts for a turquoise rev2 Mr2?

Nothing wrong with it if you can get it for a bargain! Not too sure about how hard it is to shift parts tbh.

I got rid of almost an entire Rev 1 Turbo in about 3 months, and made a lot more than I would of gotten whole for the car.

So definitely worth doing in my opinion, don't see anything wrong with sacrificing one car to make a few more last longer, especially considering how poor the market is at the moment.

[MR2 Rich]

Thanks for the replies. The one I'm looking at is a tintop and mines a tbar, one of the things I want off it is the drivers door. Are the doors the same for tbar and tintops?

Yep

Is it that aquamarine pearl colour? I know a friend whos just had some bodywork issues with his and would doubtless be in for a few pieces of it!

[MR2 Rich]

I think so mate. It's this colour;

[TheBaker]

Yep, turquoise pearl same as mine.

Just had an incident with mine: Cracked windscreen, damaged cowl, damaged bonnet catch, damaged bonnet...

So will be putting it up for Spares n Repairs(not on here)

If you're interested let me know, there a few other issues with it so depends on what parts you need, overall it's about a 5/10 condition.

Cheers.

Cheers for the offer but you're about 200 miles away and it's just a bit too far. Thanks for the offer anyway

as someone who has broken loads of mr2's and bought cars just for certain parts - so getting them for free really i would definately recommend this way to getting free or very cheap parts for your own car if you are prepared to spend some time doing it

[MR2 Rich]

Sounds good Jason. I'm gonna wait until the weather clears a bit, there just seems to be loads of the aquamarine cars for sale ATM.
