Hi
Have just inherited my son's 93 MR2 turbo as he bought a new car and still owed me money (always owes me money!). He left it for me with the front and wing damaged after saying hello to a raised light island in his works car park. Have bought a new Lenso Stage 1 wheel for a damaged one (and really need another) plus had the damaged body bits replaced so it just needs spraying, Needs some TLC but I love it and will probably only use it occasionally.
Doing bits to it and polishing it will keep me busy. I am as good at mechanics as Tony Blair is at honesty so will not do anything too complicated on it. My only worry is that as I am getting on a bit my back is bad and if it goes while I am in it the top will have to be cut off to get me out (like a fat sardine in a small tin)!

Hi
Thanks for all the welcomes.
I was going to keep it black to avoid having a complete respray. It has to be done on a reasonable budget at the moment but in the future would like it looking like some of the photos I see of other MR2s. Might go to some MR2 type shows and take some photos of the sort of things I would to do to it sometime.
Regards
Fred
