anyone pls give some advice.... newbe need help. been try to find a mr2 mk1 for month. i domt know if im being picky or pain in the bum any advice will be taken..

[STUAW11]

Looks quite tidy in the pics, if you do look at it check the floor and sills for holes, also under the spare wheel is another place to check, if you think its going to be to much work then walk away.

stuaw11 j just posted the pics of the 3 area of concern see what you think.. pls anyone can make a comment so i get enough advice on what to do next..

It has gone/is going in the usual places. Unfortunately that arch will look a hell of a lot worse by the end of the winter. I think for the money you are spending you can expect the odd bit of rot but you may be able to find better examples if you are patient.

I personally think you can get a more solid car for your money.

My Mk1a had about that much rot when I got her, and she cost me £700.

Be patient and the right car will come along

as ever your location in your profile would help you don't want contacts for cars in essex if your in glasgow!!
if the first one is worth £900 then I want £1500 for mine, yet I doubt mine is really worth more than £350
look at as many as you can before you part with cash, what sellers want and what cars are really worth can vary greatly

[leevo5]

it could well be worth the money but I doubt you would get anyone brave enough to confirm it on the strength of a couple of pics, you wouldn't be too happy with me if I said yes its deffinately worth the money and you bought it and it turned out to be a bag of crap
you need to view the car and if you not to confident get somone who you trust to go with you
