Nice ride, bet it a b1tch to keep the dirt off!

Cheers - yeah, it does get dirty very quickly!

Car isnt in the best state now, slowly working at getting it back to decent condition again - had a bit of an argument with a tree a couple months ago

Will look a lot better in a few weeks time once right hand side of the car has the dents pulled and is resprayed!

Also, changed the rear discs and pads, left disc came off like this:

whoever fitted the last set of pads didnt fit them correctly - the brake piston was not in the correct position, so the pads did not sit straight, resulting in extremely uneven wear.

As some of you know, a while ago I did this:

Oops.

Then, it looked like this:

Thanks to Mike0491 (Corsa-C UK) for the amazing face shop ftlols here.

And thanks to Jamie at Sharpe Concepts Auto Refinishing, it now looks like this:

Back to square one!

If anyone needs any body work done, whether its repair or modifications, give Jamie a ring, his work is ace and very reasonably priced, just don't expect to be able to get it started instantly - his workshop is nearly always full

he is based in Ravens Green, near Gt. Bentley in Essex - between Colchester and Clacton.

Glad you got it sorted. Great feedback on Jamie, the work looks spot on.

I'm definitely going to use him when I get my bumper/wings sorted as I only live a couple of miles away.

I've been in contact with him a little while ago but have had to put the work off as my suspension needed replacing and the Mrs won't let me spend any more on the car for a while!

Couldnt be happier with the work done!

Where did you get your front indicator / sidelights from? Mine has clear ones, but they look a lot lighter / clearer than mine? They look good!

stuMR2lee · Post by **stuMR2lee** » Wed Jun 22, 2011 11:51 am

Yours look like the standard Toyota clear ones. Mine are 'Crystal' eBay specials. Easy to change.

Ah right, gonna keep an eye out for a set of those I think

My dad bought a bow saw and got it delivered to me as a joke, so next time I can cut myself out

Car is pretty dirty, but its been working hard:

LLandudno has an awesome one way coastal road, recommend any locals who havent been to check it out!

Loving those outdoor pics, car looks really well!
*Edit: What camera did you use to take those shots?
That pic of the car crashed is painful to look at!

Love the black detailing toddjnr - I want some anthracite / gunmetal wheels for mine.

Cheers Infamous, those were taken with my Olympus E3 + 12-60mm SWD. I love it, but I think I have a slight focussing issue with the body or the lens - need to get myself a focus / resolution test chart and test it.

Great Orme i think it's called?

When I bought my first Mk2 a long time ago I took it around there with a mate of mine. Brilliant little area!

Nice Sonic shadow, by far and away the best colour

SonicSW20 · Post by **SonicSW20** » Sat Jul 02, 2011 12:13 am

Looks like the one mate, according to google maps its called Marine Drive?

St. Tudno's Road is another good one for your inner rally driver:

Now on split Advans:

In need of a refurb, and some new tyres as the rears are the wrong size really...

Excuse the dirt, this was after a drive up to the Yorkshire Dales

craig · Post by **craig** » Fri Dec 09, 2011 6:00 pm

Nice wheels! like the retro advans

you painting them or leaving them as they are?

SonicSW20 · Post by **SonicSW20** » Sun Dec 11, 2011 1:09 pm

Hi power silver lips (full on polished metal is just too much to look after IMO...) and anthracite centres I think. Before that, new rubber on all four corners - the rears are the wrong size, the fronts are mismatched and the handling is way off - considering taking them off, putting the old ones back on until i get new tyres.

Probably going to get FK452's, 225/45R16 rear and 205/45R16 front - 235 would be nicer on an 8J, but I dont think anyone makes a 235/45 or 235/40 16inch.

Also checking out ebay from time to time for tyres and suspension - I think a 30mm drop, maybe a little bit more at the front, will really look good, as the wheels are staggered with the right offsets!

She's been exploring the UK again, this time in the Lake District and surrounding areas. A686 Penrith to Alston, oh my, what a fun road!

My mrs doesnt browse the forum, so I can put these two here

and unrelated, a crazy 360 panorama world thing I did

Wonder how well it would work with several MR2's.....
