Re: Wind deflectors?

Yes I nearly made the rather embarrassing mistake of buying a set - my finger was hovering over the bid button when I suddenly remembered I've got a T bar #-o - tis true, I am that dumb =;

Re: Has anyone fitted these??

always thought these are a big con, I mean nip up the breakers & have a look at various Audi's BMW's even Passat's boots they all have small struts that would probably be fine & cost £1 to buy? :-k

Re: caliper seal kit no longer available from brakes international

try www.biggred.co.uk - they do seal kits, I got a set for my ZX (rear caliper seals are notoriously difficult to find) but I'm unsure on the MR2, but worth a email though.

Re: Toyota Dark Blue Metallic - Decent Halfords Rattle Can Match?

Agreed Halford paint is about as good as coloured cats p1$$. I bought 6 cans for work, 1 of which was okish. Their Plastic primer is crap too, all flaked off after less than a week!! Use a motorfactor/paint specialist, you may pay slightly more but it'll be much better stuff & cost you less in t...

Re: mk1 bra on ebay, going in next few hours though...

have to admit I do like the Bra idea for the MR2, but mainly for storage, a extra layer of protection for a pretty expensive & vulnerable bit of bodywork - the nosecone.

Re: removing rear quaters

Its it only me that thinks that both the £253+ & $275 for the complete rear quarter, acutally doesn't sound that bad, esp when you compare it to the £150+ that JDG want for the 3 repair sections? At the end of the day the steel thats their is now what 20+ years old? so roughly £506+ later & ...

Re: Nooooo you little blighter!

Well I thought about the shotgun approch but fear it may provide more 'ventilation' holes than the old girl currently has. I'm thinking the mouse will probably survive the onslaught of pellets (that & being quite a small cabin there is the quite likley outcome of losing a limb or 2) in a tom &am...

Why buy a mouse deterrent when you already own a cat?! Well ours is a Farm cat & a top rodent killer. But if you we're Mr Mousey & there was the option of puddy cats mouth or nice warm mr2 what would you choose :lol: Jinxy yeah I don't plan on selling the old girl anytime soon, mind you I'd...

the only 'good' news is when (eventually) I do the restore it'll be completely stripped of every nut, bolt, washer & screw & I do have another Mr2 in boxes. But thats not the point! Kevin I'd thought about one of those devices but I also have a Cat & a Dog, I don't know if it will effect...

Nooooo you little blighter!

Took a look over my one today, its a depressing thing to do but hey, only really went to change the mini dehumidifier. I noticed the leather on the handbrake handle had pulled back, like it had shrunk. Thought huh thats kinda odd, then hang on, its like what? 20 years old? it shouldn't shrink!! When...
