Vasaline? Baby wipes? You serious?! :) Autoglym leather care sounds more promising... ;-) Speaking as a retrimmer, I only use baby oil and baby wipes on my leather interiors. :thumleft: Baby wipes to keep them nice and clean and baby oil ( not baby lotion!) every few months to keep the leather nice...

I love those seats - the colour suits them perfectly! I'm working on something very similar for a Celica at the moment.

Is the MR2 alternator identical to a Celica one - I'm assuming it's all brackets that attach it to the base of the engine? If they are identical, is it possible to fit one in the more usual position of next to the exhaust (same position as in a Celica, basically)? Or are there things that preclude i...

That's certainly the plan. Not sure whether I'd use it as a showcase or not - that's more the Celica's job. At the very least, I'll be able to have it as a very nice second car though.

Back at work tomorrow so I'll be finding the time on a night again. Hoping to have the storage box completed this week though

Unlike most people in the North East who seem to have spent their Bank Holiday Monday getting ready to go and see Take That, I've been spending mine doing some more work on the interior. :D I've finished the top lid on the storage box and I'll get to the front lid another day. Pictures are, as alway...

Are the instrument cluster bulbs the 501 / T10 type, or are they something different? One of mine's blown and I don't really want to have to pull the dash apart simply to find out what bulb I need...

Cheers in advance.

Nice work on the gear gaiter, looks great. Nice skill to have!

Thanking you. It pays the bills and keeps me out of (too much) mischief...

and a trimmed dash?

I'm not sure if I'm going to trim the entire cabin yet or not. Certainly, I'll be redoing the seats at some point. And no doubt making some leather roofbags too!

I've bunged a couple of pictures of the finished gaiter in my Garage for the time being.

As I'm a trimmer by trade, it makes sense to do it myself. After that, I'll probably make a start on the storage section at the back of the cabin.

Thanks, folks.

Barely 24 hours into ownership and I'm about to build a new gear gaiter... I can see this is going to be another money pit!

Think you can start your garage now and add pics though...

It seems I can, yeah. I've stuck a couple of pics in there for the time being, til my postcount improves...

Thanks for the tip.

Hi all, There are a few people who'll know me from the Celica Club (as I have one of those too) but I'm here now as well as I've today purchased a toy for the summer: *imagine a picture here, as I'm not allowed to link...* :? She's a 1995 Rev 3 (I think) UK GT in Carribean Blue (possibly) and I thin...
