Well as said the mr2 was going one way or another

was hoping it would go as a whole car for someone to enjoy what i had built..
but with only a little interest and no follow through from people..
Many people wanted parts.. so this weekend.. many parts went :(, Coilovers wheels brake lines etc...

so as soon as i get the last of the bits off the shell will be going to the scrap yard in the sky.. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

So.. moving on.. new automobile will be revealed on the 145th Feb (picking up on the 13th) incase anyone still following this thread now i killed the mr2

but due to the nature of the car/ fed up working outside/ Kels classic mini needed storage.. This weekend we set about building a garage/ car port..
Finished it last night up car headlights for light so excuse the pictures..
I will be shiplapping the outside obv to protect and make it look a lot nicer and need to make some doors for it too..
But the base main structure is now there.. it will also be getting lots more strengthening beams over the next weekend work dependent (not that it needs it its soooo solid).. i have been up on the roof to felt it, bolted to the floor in several places, and many hundreds of screws and bolts later...
only cost £250 so happy with it

it will get a good test this week with the wind we are about to get :thumleft:

you can zombie slowly dieing :)

Presumably not unless somebody wants to buy it, and it has been listed for a while.

Difficult to move unless it has been left as a rolling chassis. A shame to see a straight rev5 shell get crushed.

Its gone now..
It wasn't a rolling shell and needed lots to get it rlling.. Although shell is good everything has been lighened so everypanel would need replacing..
I don't want to store it would depress me.. Loved it won in it twice.. Will be missed
Cant live with regrets
