not quite, jump pack

[Draven]

that is exactly what I thought, need to open some doors lol. it is amazing even with the doors behind the camera open how much smoke filled the room

[qwakers]

yes but it also clears in a few seconds

so after 8 hours solid of welding on my red one, the left hand side of the car is strucually sound again. just have to clean the surface rust off the wheel arches, rust kill and underseal. then do the other side.

[SeanSw20]

Just read this whole thread you fairly turned this car around

[qwakers]

well been busy busy busy

so got all the welding done on both sides. only took pics today so the story starts halfway through somewhat. but you get the idea....

passenger side










driver side










all welded and the rear arches undersealed where i ground it back and welded.

just got to fill and paint the sills and then...


take all the suspension including the rear crossmember off, de-rust, paint, clean and underseal all the areas with surface rust, and refit.

and whilst its apart rebuild both rear calipers.

Cracking work mate.

[qwakers]

a lot of CAD was involved in the drivers side i can tell you...

(Cardboard Aided Design)

[SeanSw20]

Looking solid now, I'm just away to tackle this on mines but it's much worse

[qwakers]

have fun

[SeanSw20]

Just read the whole thread, was the v6 conversion worth it? Are u doing a separate thread for this red one?

[qwakers]

the v6 conversion is very worth it. approx £600 for 200 (ish) hp its mental. but really i should spend a few hundred more on a LSD and taller 5th gear. gotta get that on a dyno


no this thread will be a amalgamation of any mr2 i have now and in the future. it seems only right to keep it all in one place...

[aussieGT]

Should change your name to MR2Jesus - bringing things back from the dead.

[aussieGT]

^^ or just seriously sick and near death...

[markstevieandmads]

Id advise to do two seperate threads for each car. Makes for easier reading and easier to keep up to date on what is hapoening with each car.

Great work tho.

[qwakers]

trouble is its all in one thread now, unless a mod wants to split the thread for me...
