hi been on here long enough so i though id put up a thread , Ive still to make a thread for my forged tubby conversion rev1 but you'll have to wait for that 1
Right while ive been doing my tubby conversion i missed driving the MR2 and didnt want to rush the build as i though "do it right do it once " no need to rush as i was getting parts of here and ebay as and when i could afford.
So i was browsing ebay one night and came accross a red rev3 n/a at a very good price with low mileage this was a tbar too so i went for a look at it and bought it
and it only had 58280 miles on the clock
it had just been serviced but needed a good polish but apart from that was a great car

Re: 1994 rev3 TRD Widebody turbo build
looks clean enough to rip around in till your tubby is finished.
Re: 1994 rev3 TRD Widebody turbo build
the first thing i did when i got the car home was give it a good clean but it wasnt long before i started to change bits
First i got hold of some clear sidelights and side repeaters they looked alot better on the red car
Next was wheels i had a set of MOMO Quasar 2 alloys with 2 brand new tyres on my rev1 so i swapped them over and it was sunny for once so i went for a drive with the tbars out
The car looked better already but then magic beans had a genuine rev5 spoiler in black for sale so i had to have it (thanks phil), I decided i was going to leave the blade and side plates black and paint the legs/uprights red so a few coats of paint later im im very pleased with it (i was dark when i had finished so not the best pics but you get the idea)
more to come later

Re: 1994 rev3 TRD Widebody turbo build
Mini update
Plans have changed and the rev1 shell will no longer be used for my tubby conversion, I'm now going to use this car as its a newer shell so less work required for the conversion (brakes etc)
I also purchased a trd kit and lots more parts so not much leaved to source.
Anyway I bought a Phoenix power engine lid this weekend
Also the guy had a carbon bonnet for sale too so I had to have it (aerocatchs on order)
It's coming along nicely , I'm going to get some carbon headlight covers too
