Lastly the supra

So far i have cleaned up the split rims, and gone to town with the Mopping of the car. Its coming up really well once the fade is cut out. I will stick some pics up tomorrow

I've seen a lot more faded than that.

Looks like a steal for £400 :thumleft:

Other than the fade i have found a small ps leak from somewhere under the car. Some knocking which i suspect are drop links. Other than that shes tip top. I have now cut the fade from half the car and cleaned the wheels up.

Looks like a steal at that price! Wish I could find a cheap project like that near me :-k

The supra looks lovely!! Have you got any more photos of it?
A supra is definately on my wish list when I extend my garage!!

In relation to the mr2, why dont you stick up a thread in the members profiles section?
Have you got any plans for her?

Then ended up like this after the first round of mods

Now looks like this with the kit blended in and a Twin turbo engine installed.

15s i had a go at undoing them and they will split easy.

They need a refurb as the paint is coming off. The good news is they have no curbing.
