[Mk2] [NA] Replacement Wheel Arch liner

Post by TJS »

I’m working on getting my MK2 REV2 ready for its MOT, its been off the road for a while and there’s plenty to sort out. I have a few more questions..input would be greatly accepted….input I need input (I did search these and I’m still non the wiser).


I’m welding the rear arches, is there a replacement arch liner available to buy to weld into place? I found a MK1 replacement but no luck with the MK2. I need a O/S/R Liner…I’m really struggling with this one. :(


Also….

Does the engine need to come out for the cambelt to be replaced? :?:

Thanks in advance

Dont think there is a replacement inner arch you will need to knock one up to weld in.

Cambelt can be done with engine still in car but will be a pain in the ass. Replace the water pump while your at it. TBH if i was doing mine i would take the engine out as it only takes me 1 1/2 hrs to whip the engine out.

Thanks for the advice mate..your a mechcanic then?

Hmmm..getting no where fast with the replacement arch panel. Cant believe no one makes one :(

There is loads about for the MK1, must be lots about with the same issue, must be a gap in the market.

Nope not a mechanic, just messed about with cars for the last 26 years and whipped out so many MR2 engines i have forgot how many.

Yep, hardly any replacement parts are produced for the MR2 :(
