Repair Panels

Heard from an ex mechanic mate that there are Mk1 repair panels for the base of the A-pillar (sunroof drain issue has caused it to rust through). After a lot of searching I can't find even an acknowledgment of such a panel existing.

Anyone able to help?

Re: Woodsport Mk1.5

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Knocking noise near side rear

I have a similar issue with nearside rear corner. I think I have narrowed it down to the bushes on the tie arm from hub to crossmember if that helps?

Re: Droplinks for Tein Super Street coilovers

Premacy droplinks definately an option then? Are the standard MR2 rear droplinks still ok to use with tein superstreets though?

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Wheel nuts - it ought to be easy.

I considered that but i cant be sure because the mating face of the wheel matches the profile of a radius seat nut. WedsSport SA-90's if that helps anyone advise me.
