Been having the time of my life the last 300 miles, bumped into a small issue on Friday night. Got a coolant leak from a split hose.

I knew i should have changed the hoses on the rebuild. In all fairness they looks like this had been done recently. taken one off, Outside looks ace, Inside really perished. looks like its time to replace the lot of them. There cant be many more weak spots left, Pretty much changed everything on the car.

My turbo just knows when it has a boxes of treats on its way. o'well more Toyota 4 life, for you!

Next week it should be back in the car with a couple of other things been done, MOT over due.

Now its got a strong block, its going to have some coil over's next, then respray after that, Project complete.

The day when I purchased this MR2 and it blew up 49km down the road. I'm just glad I decided not to break the car and get it fixed. I would not like to say how much all of this cost, but to me its was totally worth it.

Trust me its all happening :D

I bought a second car for the winter so I told the garage they could hold off on the coolant hoses for a couple of weeks. They were pretty busy at the time.

Ill pop down on my lunch break see if they have started yet. If there have photo's will be coming.
