    I have decided to sell to fund another MR2 project. Car drives well and has been great fun. Included in sale: Red silicone vacuum hoses and Jimi bracket.

    Steve Done (mister2mk1 on IMOC) bought this car in 2006 needing a lot of TLC. He completely restored it to show winning standard:

    - Full body repairs including new arches and lower quarter panels
    - Full respray in original super silver
    - Decals and striping
    - Refurbished front light mechanisms
    - Crystal headlights
    - Clear side repeaters
    - New front bumper bar
    - Underside (including all arches/floor plans) painted in silver and waxoiled
    - 4 inch JBL speakers
    - New bottom ball joints
    - New torsion stabilizer bars all round
    - Goodrich stainless steel braided brake hoses
    - New brake pads
    - Drilled and grooved vented front discs
    - Callipers rebuilt with new seals
    - New clutch master cylinder / slave cylinder
    - New clutch and pressure plate
    - Stainless steel exhaust down pipe and back box

    Ian Mulhall (mulaz on IMOC) purchased the car in Oct 210 and ran it for a few months before garaging and doing other mods and improvements:

    - Calibre Eclipse alloy wheels with Kuhmo Sport 185/55/15 tyres
    - Mk2 rear ARB
    - Short shift gear stick
    - Replica Toysport front bumper
    - Air horns
    - USA style rear lights and side repeaters

    I purchased it in April 2014 without an MOT and got it back on the road with no advisories:

    - Replaced engine at 146k miles with another 4A-GE on 118k miles (professionally installed by Patrick Chambers)
    - Replaced coilovers with refurbished standard shockers and Apex lowering springs
    - Installed refurbished rear tie rod ends
    - Four wheel alignment at SVA Imports in Dover
    - New windscreen
