- Just on the Border of Kent and East Sussex. I've just bought an SW20 as a half finished project for me to do a bit of work on and tool around in for a couple of months while my other car (a dirty low BMW E46) is off the road for a bit of an overhaul! I'm not exactly new to the Jap scene.
. I've had an EG Civic, 3 del Sol's, a truly horrible Impreza (briefly), an FTO, a Celica, an MX-5 (actually a Eunos as it was an import), a Hyundai Coupe, and a 'lude.. I took a couple of the del Sol's to JAE and remember the IMOC stand being enormous, but haven't been since the last year at Mersea Island..I always fancied an MR2, and had I actually been shopping around for one as a daily driver, I would naturally have wanted the Turbo, but my MOT on the E-NAUGHTY-SIX was about to expire, and since I wanted to take it off the road and do the work myself, I was just looking for a runaround for a couple of months.
. Anyway a mate decided to sell his half finished project, and I thought it'd be the perfect thing for me to use while I fixed the BM, and since the insurance is crazy cheap, even keep as a bit of a toy long term.
I've known this car very well over the last couple of years, and it's been completely loved and cherished, doing very few miles in the entire time I've known it.. In fact, the front bumper is actually the old one from my 3rd CRX del Sol - I replaced my fake Mugen Bumper for a real one, and the fake one was grafted on to the MR2 - Completely one-off, and you won't see another in the UK.. It has a custom birds-eye-view in dark blue to match the interior with rainbow metal flake, lazy eye conversion, plasmaglow dials, and a few other subtle mods that make it half-way to perfect in my eyes.. In typical car-nut style though, I won't be leaving it alone just because it's a second car.. It's crying out for skirts and rear spats, it badly needs to be de-ambered, and it desperately needs to be lowered.. It'll only be going down on springs rather than coilovers though unfortunately - The front bumper sits way too deep for anything more than a 40mm drop, so I'm not wasting my money.. So essentially this will be my daily runaround for a couple of months as of 1st September.
. Comments and suggestions welcomed, if ultimately ignored.. 
I'd post pictures, but apparently I'm not allowed.
