As if we didn't have enough stuff to sort my sons got himself a new project..... Despite not finishing his daily driver Mr2.... It needs lots...... And lots. Someone's bodged so much. There's bits missing, badly reassembled parts, wires with nothing at the end, a blown cat, a noisy alternator, what looks like an oil leak.... Needs discs and pads all round, interior repairs, leaky roof, biodegraded steering wheel, damaged dash, faulty mirrors, faded paint, faulty air con and pretty much everything you'd expect with a car that's been sat for years. Wheels came off today and standard ones are now on. Old tri spokes are for sale.... Or swap for Mr2 parts. Head units coming out too so I can see what's been done behind the dash. Whoever went in last broke the column adjuster but I've removed the cracked shroud off and found the mechanism and raised it up manually. The head light on one side doesn't work and nor does the rev counter. Oh and the welding......

Gave the proton pack to its new owner early today. Had to do a bunch of water related repairs but finally got onto the project. Painted the side..... Still the front, rear and other side but it already looks so much better

So I won't lie, thought I'd been scammed for the sills. Turns out the couriers were utter....... That goes for Evri and Parcel force. They arrived today and each one is long enough to do the repairs required..... May go all in and do the full sils

Managed to source a used auto dash to replace our non functioning one. Hoping to get that paid for in the next day or so and ordered. Pick up this basic but periodish looking stereo yesterday. Yeah it rubbish but it'll be fine and has the aux cable too. Decided we're gonna make the exhaust ourselves as the only standard stuff we cna source is rotten or stupidly expensive

Managed to source a free sub off the marketplace which is an absolute result. It's a bose one and it will allow me to get onto the rocket cinema projects interior double quick. Will be able to run one amp at the farm. 😎

Thanks to J Spec we now have a rev counter, big shout out to them 👍. Still no illumination so I'm going to replace every single damn fuse...... Like I told my son to🙄....... The exhaust arrived too..... 🤦 No idea what my sons plans were but I'm pretty sure it's going to stupid loud and won't make mot limits..... But £17 is what he spent on the back box..... If you can all it that. I'll see what I can do regarding the noise.

Anyone know what this does on an Mr2, 91 reg import? Was in the glove box Or what switch goes here, to the right of the steering well on the lower panel. I'm hoping it's the dash dimmer switch.... ,
