:oops: :oops: :oops: Oops indeed. Will bear it in mind, trouble is, I kinda agree with 'Rustboy' Ammon, I like it white, but it doesn't look as nice as a deep colour, or black. I know I could get it resprayed, but with £2000 converting to turbo, £1000 on decent respray, and all the uprated brakes and stuff, I might as well flog mine for £2000 [-o< and buy a tubby for £4000, if you see what I mean!!

just have this niggling thought that if I rip out the wiring, then the car will never get out of the garage again.

Still in the garage...

Dont be daft - black cars look constantly dirty and you cant see the fine details of the MR2s shape on a dark colour. :lol:

Get the conversion done, your brakes get upgraded as part of the process I think :?:

Lol ... well atleast you can wash a white car. Leave it be and come back to it one hour later in the summer without it looking dirty like a black car!

Looking at ebay and autotrader they're going for peanuts now anyway.....


What??????

£1700 for a 90 Tubby, to get one for this price it must be a right dog.
You certinaly cant get them down my way for that.
Half decent ones are going for £3000+
