Surprised the sideskirts havent been mentioned. Majority are still rivetted on, drill the rivets out and inspect the rear portion, and around the jacking points. Mine appeared ok on the inside but was going outside and perforated in some areas.

Thread aside, do you have an itinery or anything for this? Exactly what I want to do in the MR2 this year (@dann2707 @Panda. @Coops Mk1 @jameswrx ????) Pictures are great btw. I reckon the E92 is probably the best all rounder there?

Looks like the videos are still there, just private. Maybe hes sorting all the playlists out or something. Other than DDC2 (Mr2 Mk3 ftw), I tend to watch Furious Driving quite a bit, just a quirky bloke fixing old cars up to keep them on the road, no frills. Road and Race is quite decent as...

Yes, if you pull the loom off its usually hidden by that!

Where the rear inner arches meet the outer panel, if the underseals been punctured by a stone, water can creep under between the seam, visible from the inside of the car once rear side carpet in the boot is removed.

Wow, love these, I had a Mk1 55SX in the same colour as my first car! They used to be all over the place and as somebody said above, seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth these days! Scrappage scheme got a load I bet. @dann2707 I can remember you getting slated on Fiat Forum back...

Good lighting, maybe some wireless CCTV (I have Ring Spotlight cams) are good deterrants. I personally wouldnt have a window, I would rather beef the door up. Is it a timber door? You can put rack bolts top and bottom to add a little extra security, and metal plates as you have done to stop a...

I wouldnt get mega hung up on brushless/none brushless. It isnt a difficult or expensive job (most of the time!) to swap the brushes over. Ive had brushed drills that have had some right hammer and have been fine. If the price is right I wouldnt worry.

Majority of my power tools are Makita LXT. Keep an eye out on Amazon Prime for batteries coming up cheap, got a few 3.0ah for £17 each. Ive got the biggest ugga dugga they do with some 5ah batteries, which is more than enough for most jobs. Ive got Milwaukee ratchet and stubby impact, purely...

Just dont get how its taken this long to bang an engine in :LOL:

Im trying to convince the wife that a garage rebuild is necessary for our current extension :LOL: I saw these being demonstrated at Autosport a couple of years ago. They seem nice bits of kit.

Cat6/or 5e, if you can route it easily, is nice to have. You can use pairs of Cat6 to form HDMI for example, its also great for taking the load of your wireless if you can have devices hard-wired for streaming etc. That being said you can use Powerline for this if you really wanted to.

Worth doing on Mk3 MR2, rear chassis legs can go crusty, and the lower bulkhead/floorpans near the engine.

Figures that he wouldnt s**t on his doorstep, if people are far away they are much less likely to turn up unannounced!

All of those with good experiences, are you local? This guy was hours away. Wonder if that has a bearing on things.

Usually genuine guys who get in too deep and then service suffers, dramatically. Extra points when they have been admins friends and it takes even longer to come to a head.

Love these. Converted one with my Dad a few years ago. The rear passenger fog light housing is empty, and removes easily, you can use this to route a commando socket into for power hookup without an ugly socket on the side somewhere.

I know the feeling @GrahamS , I remember chatting to you on Messenger when I broke my 172, life gets in the way and especially when you own a property other things take priority. I have had a lot more fun with the £1k MR2, relatively standard and just general upkeep rather than the worry of...

Whats it actually like to drive out of interest?

I like it, very cool. Whats the going rate for one?

The seal is seperate from the shaft iirc, it is fitted to the gearbox.

@mr bognor what you reckon to the door stabilisers? Im after a set. Ive just fitted a hardtop to mine (mainly for winter but its on at the moment), makes a great difference to the handling I think!

@Djw John how is it on longer trips? My alfas a 1.4 petrol turbo with similar power and on long motorway runs can get a bit tiresome. These do tick all the boxes for me next as a dependable, practical 'daily'. Also is the estate actually worth the extra space? I know some estates end up not...

They are all starting to rust now, rivetted on skirts dont help as most have never been off! Mine was going under the seam sealer in the arches.

Yay roof down summer buddy!

I used to go to loads of meets when I was younger, most of my closest mates now I can trace back to a meet, even my now wife was a friend of a mates girlfriend I met at a car show. It still happens, young lads at work who are into cars still do the odd meet and that, I think just as you get...

Ive been using Seren with a Real Debrid account, seems pretty decent but took ages to setup right.

Dont do it. I wish I had kept mine standard-ish. Massively compromised and resented it in the end as I had to fork out for a TD to use it properly.

I just gently tapped the pins with a hammer to get them aligned. Well, @dann2707 did.

Give me a shout when/if that happens as I would be interested in that.
