Blimey he's massacred it!

I'm guessing that a lot of these problems were already present.

It seems like its the week for fixing Steve's cars as i've just taken his old 86 NA down to the bodyshop this morning to have all the wheel arches relpaced.

I'm also having the bumpers returned to satin black, fitting an early engine vent which will be resprayed too, putting the back panel back to black and having all other little bits of rust sorted out not to mention all the work i've already done on the brakes and suspension!

pics and full reportage to follow once all the bodywork is done.

Yep i can't wait. Its seems like ages since i've had an MR2 on the road, though its only been two months really.

I wasn't going to refurb the wheels at this point as i've already got another set of triangles in better condition so i'm going to put those once its out of the bodyshop (you don't want to know how many sets of wheels i've got!).

Don't worry there will be full reportage of bodyshop p*rn plus the odd bit of beard p*rn thrown in...

It ought to be pretty in red once its finished.

Great to hear my sc is nearly sorted and good news that my old na is getting the tlc it needs.

I did love my old na but having the sc aswell ,i lost a bit of interest in it.

I will soon be a proud sc owner again and can't wait to see na back to top condition!!

Cheers,Pete and Lauren!!!!!!!
