    Hi Chrys, it’s off for final paint today which should be done in two weeks apparently, so will take some after that.

    It's always going to be sad to let one go. Hence why I have never sold one. it sounds like the replacement is going to a stunner once your finished though. Looking forward to seeing some progress updates on it.

    Thank you Martin and Chrys, but I don’t think it’ll be anywhere the same standard if I’m honest.

    These early models are really difficult to get back together with the lack of specific parts, and probably why they aren’t as popular or as common as the 1b. I think you have to have a certain amount of madness to restore an MR2!

    I think James would be the authority on that.

    My next project was either going to be a 1a or a t-bar 1b since you can't get a t-bar 1a. I'm leaning very heavily towards the 1a decision. Quite why I'm planning the next project when I have 3 unfinished is beyond me and probably goes back to your previous comment.
