Getting There..........

[Jimlad]

Got my bumper back from russ recently. (Big up to Russ for sorting it out!!) Rico has spent quite a while prepping it, priming it and getting it all nice... :)

Needs a few more coats of primer etc and being rubbed down.

Click on the below piccys to make them bigger.

Looking good tho. My wings have been painted etc today also. My gearbox is getting finished off on Thursday and my new rear spoiler should be here anyday now!!

I also think the boost issue has been resolved (split hoses).

All in all... the motor should be back on the road by the end of the week, looking better than ever!!!.... :)

Nice one Jim, can't wait to see it again!

Just in time for the Envy meet aswell! :D

[Jimlad]

just waiting on my bluddy rear spoiler coming!!!?!?

[msherry21]

What rear spoiler are you getting mate? your cars gonna look.....nice.

[Jimlad]

not saying.... lol

But it's big and mad... none of this pish veilside rear spoiler or shogun crap.... just have to wait and see... :)

[msherry21]

carbon? I think your going for a wing, good choice if you are, Think I'm getting one from APR Performance along with the wing mirrors.

[Jimlad]

nope... not going for a wing.

I've never seen the spoiler I'm getting on another mr2 b4. Some people may not like it, but I think it's gonna look sweet.

Will just have to wait until the pics!! :)

[Roytoner]

Glad to hear your nearly back on the road

So are you keeping her now or what?? :P :P

[Jimlad]

for the time being I am, wanna have some summer fun.

Once the gearbox is in I'll still have to get the Kaaz LSD from my old box put into my new one. But I'm happy to wait a few months until that's done.

[Jimlad]

and that's what it used to look like!!! ouch

[ricomr2]

Got jims gearbox in today and glad to say it's working perfectly :)

Also, his spoiler arrived yesterday so thats another little job for me...

Should be up and running by the start of next week

Oh, and the boosting issue is also sorted, i found a cracked hose and Jim (yes Jim) replaced it so the cars running superb

[boundsw]

Rico, are you a profesional painter ?

Im gonna be painting my kit when it arrives, if i make a right mess of it, then i'll just have to send it to a proper painters to sort it out ! But hope fully....it will all be good

Those parts are looking good !

[ricomr2]

did a few years in a bodyshop but no papers to prove it !

I'll let Jim decide if the jobs good enough when its finished :D

[msherry21]

where did you guys get the wings from and how much did they cost? if you don't mind me asking, looking good, really need to sort the paint out on mine!

[ricomr2]

Jim got the wings from a guy on eBay, paid £40 for them both!

[Jimlad]

Rico is a painting painting man!!!!

BTW.... I replaced two hoses, thank you very much... :)

full boostage is back!!! :)

[GazMR2GTS]

Loving that car, one day mine will look half as good :)

[Jimlad]

cheers mate....

Also the new gearbox feels miles better than the old one. Gear changed are so smooth and not clunky at all.

All good!!!

Oh yeah... and I was doing 100mph on axle stands just to test it all out... lol.

[Blue84]

Glad it's all getting sorted

[GazMR2GTS]
