MR2 TRD Turbo - rev 2 - highly modified show car - Candy red

Post by Vampire »

well the day has come where i am seriously considering selling the mr2 TRD

Unfortunately circumstances have arrisen meaning i need funds spent in other areas :(

This car has been a joy to own for the last 4 years

Build is here: http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic. ... sc&start=0

I bought the car for £4,500. i have spent another £8,000 on it!!

full respray inBellucini Candy Red 2 months ago at a cost of £2500
full interior swap/retrim custom dash
full engine bay freshen up
custom inlet and exhausts
custom glass engine lid
coilovers, big brake upgrade
19" alloys, brand new tyres

Im hoping to get as close to £6,000 back but i'm prepared to take a little less if it goes to a fellow member

car has done 90,000 miles but the dash is reading in Kilometeres

This is the candy paint colour in sunlight:

current issues with car:

Wil put 12 months MOT on the car when someone buys, have had it checked over and no issues.
Car is sorn (due to new tax laws)

Car ideally needs setiing up - larger exhaust, custom inlet etc so it runs quiet rich

Never thought I'd see this for sale!

There was someone asking after a TRD turbo recently. Good luck.

Wow, followed the thread on this since you started and there`s so many interesting mods on the car interior and exterior. Real shame you are selling up, hope the new owner takes as much care over it as you have.

Nicely done.

Just enough done to make the car useable, different and eye catching.
