My lil girl - Minxy

Post by UrbanFreestyle »

Hi All, Just picked up my gal last night and fallen in love with her already.
I used to have mr2s when i was young free and single but then i moved abroad, came back, got married and got boring.
Anyway I have named her Minxy 'cause she is a naughty lil minx and keeps making me push the loud pedal more and more! haha!

She's a 1993 UK spec Mk2 Rev2

Plans are just to tidy her up to be honest. I just want something nice and that i can look at and smile :-)

Well i have been driving a 1.9tdi VW Passat Estate before so MASSIVE difference and already loving her so much. Point and shoot!
Needs a re-spray, few bits of rust but sills are good.

Might be worth keeping the passat diesel for the daily slog, especially when you're doing work on the 2. :thumleft: They just aren't ideal as an only car.

If you can work it :) then that is all good. These cars are getting on a bit so things break.

done the key 'fix', checked fluids and fuses, all looks ok so looking at it being relay, motor or pump.
bypass relay to test is next on my list. Then sit and cry
