Looking at the last pic, the rear track looks well too wide. You will need some wide arch kit to cover the rear wheels.

not much to show at the moment. A little bit of work has been done but still loads to do. The back end now has 2 gas rams to help lift the rear. The mr2 legs are now joined to the saxo and now need to make a start on the firewall.
The rear track is wider than the saxo but the VTR arches will be extended out. Only need about 1-2 inches each side so should look relatively normal.
