Nice looking motor mate.easier than doing a mk1 or mk2 escort i guess.
Only thing better about a mk1 or mk2 is live rear axle,quaife shafts and ZF diff. Gets rid of diff probelms then

Whats wrong with the rear wheel? Some serious camber going on there.
I used to make my standard rear lights look like that with permanent marker! Worked fine though!
Its not often you see a left hand drive MR2 either.

Yes i presume the old original lights that you were gonna buy off me tinted my Twins

And presume the rear camber is bad becoz there is NO diff on the car

not much of an update, put two new rear tyres on, yokohama parade 2's cant believe how good they are they also look and got them for a bargain 80 quid each , i've just got back from the best drive i've ever had got home today and my girlfriend went out it was a lovely afternoon so thought i'd go for a blast through the lanes, its the first time i've driven it in hard through the corners and it blew me away how much better it is than my old saph, got so much more confidence in it than my old one

all of the late nights grazed knuckles and empty pockets were forgotten about was worth it in the end still lots that i want to do to it though

its going to get set up this week cant wait to see what it will be like? running 16 psi it lights the rear tyres up in second gear now
