My Toyota MR2 build thread - 1994 GT-S
back on topic...Got the car back from the bodyshop last thing on Friday (thanks to Dan for the lift) and they have done an awesome job... I reckon my car is now all 1 colour for the first time since I've owned it. The guy even touched in some other damage to the door for me while I was there, which wasn't a panel I had asked him to look at
Decent price and relatively local to me as well, the car will definitely be going back there if it needs any more work! They also machine polished the whole car which meant it looked great on the MissBanzai tunnel run ![[Image: IMG_8774.jpg]](http://i775.photobucket.com/albums/yy32/japcars-uk/MB/2010-03-13/IMG_8774.jpg)
(Pic is not mine)
I got the driver's door back together, took the crossover out of the passenger door and repaired it as the components that side were not working. Turned out a coil had worked loose and broken its solder joint so it was a 5 minute fix.
I will take some photos after work, equivalent to the ones on page 30 so I can do a before/after.
Oh yeah I got the seats in too!!

To be honest though that's only partially due to falling back in love with it and more to do with not finding anything better to replace it with that was within my budget.
That said I had a go with the supercharged S2000 through MK again Saturday morning :w00t:
I expect so, at least for a little bit longer.

Supercharging one to get the gains that I would want out of it is out of my budget at this time. Plus it would have to be the right spec level, right colour etc. Same with any car though, I'll only buy it if it's the perfect one for me. Until something better comes along (or until it breaks again) that's the MR2.
