[shifty]

Morning!

I’ve got a little project car on the go at the minute… just thought id let u guys see how she’s comin along…

She started out at Christmas time looking like this-










She’s an imported 1990 n/a GT T-Bar MR2, and had a spec something like this-

Wheels
16" Super Advan Racing rims
205/45 front and 215/45 rear tyres

Suspension

Rear cross brace

Exterior
Standard front bumper meshed with fog lamps and centre bar removed

Rev 3 rear lights

I put her into a wee backwater bodyshop near my house in March for a full respray in Mazda winning blue. It ended up taking 4 months through many, many complications, but I was able to add a few little bits and pieces on as the car progressed. Which was nice Here’s the transformation-














































And now, she looks a little something like this-

















And yes, I still have the advans… and no, im not sellin them!
