My new MR2 restoration project

[gt4 wrc]

Hi all,

i'm pretty new to imoc but been on mr2oc for years and owned several jap cars
from Corolla's 4AGE to Supras.

I came across a car that really appealed to me so wanted to share with you...

She's been standing for a year so the plan is to get it back to her former glory.
now I dont know the full details of the kit but been advised the colour is Triumph Green (bike colour)





some of the initial work:
- Paint wing and bumper
- clean up wheels - maybe change of colour
- not sure about the rear wing so might change
- Full Mop at the local bodyshop to bring out the colour (not to everyone taste but I think it's pretty unique)



it might be known as it has an oc sticker

You got the deal done then, congrats.

Hi mate,

yes been on the case collecting parts already!
found some stock seats to replace the 'racing seats'

once i get the a ramp time agreed - I may need a hand

[gt4 wrc]

Hi guys,

May need a little help from someone handy with some tools!
so the car has just had a service and a once over at Toyota

I will change the seats over the weekend and swap the steering wheel to a stock one.

There are a few bits I need a hand with if possible as I want to get it road legal asap.

Where are you located? What other jobs do you need to undertake

[gt4 wrc]

Jaspa is going to give me a hand, anyone else welcome of course.
basically the rear wheels alignment seems to be out and it appears something is bent.

ex owner hit a curb, suspect he spun out but he wouldn't really give me the full details.
the car drives no problem but theres a noise from the NSR wheel.

other than that i've just had a minor service and a once over by my local Toyota garage.

- 1 front shock (will do both)
- possible wheel bearing

once its running well I want to get her MOT'ed and taxed
then can look at mods/body work

cars had a service
drives ok now.

due to lack of time and space... I Might need to sell her

[gt4 wrc]

I managed to keep her and now starting work on her again.

need a few bits - hopefully this Spring I can attend some local meets...?

any MR2 owners local (I've met Jaspa so far)
