My first Mr2 & loving it

Post by reddev1ll09 »

Hi all fellow imocer's, some of you will already know of me through posting on the forum. I have been a member for :-k about 6 months now but never got round to this part, well it's done now better late than never i say :lol:
I have been an avid fan/lover of the Mr Two (what we call them in my part of Glasgow) ever since i was a young boy (Mk1 days, mid 80's) then when i seen a Mk2 in the flesh for the first time probably 94/95 I think, I said to myself 'i will own one of those one day' & here i am roughly 15yrs later with my very own 1990 Rev1 3S-GE Auto, in one of the best colours (IMHO) 742 Aquamarine Pearl (I thought it was Goodwood Green but i stand corrected G/G is 'Rev3') =P~ I have seen a few 2's this colour now & looking very, very nice indeed. It's just a pity my body/paint has seen better days, hopefully this will be sorted soon enough. My pride n joy was fine at the start loving every min of it but after a month or so of owning her i noticed a clunking noise coming from the front o/s it was getting worse & worse so i decided to take it off the road & start my project. Up to now i have bought loads of bit n bobs for it but somehow never got round to buying a front topmount for the suspension (O well one day i will :lol: )
The list is growing week by week, most of it cosmetic parts as i'm not clued up on the engine side of thing as of yet.
Parts i have purchased so far

My plans are at some point, see if i can mate up the tubby engine to the Auto-box (been told it should work) so after i have it looking the way i want the conversion will begin. long way off tho.
By the end of this year-start of 2011 i want my baby to be dripping in C/F =P~

im not bad mate my cars seen better days bud. i spent last tuesday night from 10pm till 2am sitting in a ditch with the misses :(

i didnt crash but i ended up stuck n the more i tried get out the more my kit crunched

carbon wings screwed when the front end landed and my border sideskirts are no more

fitted a tempory set of sideskirts for a month or so till i get the carbon prototypes done not spraying these up as i did them in black gell coat instead of grey back on standard wings though till my new sets sprayed again costly mistake time wise lol ](*,)
