Well, after managing to get rid of the rust, that was really half the battle... next was going to be hard work in prepping and painting, and we had a deadline to work to (JAE 2010). Things are going to be tight, Skye was booked for an MOT on a Thursday at midday. Then off to Mark (painter) on Friday for strip down and paint, home for Sunday night, rebuild on Monday, wash on Tuesday off the JAE on Wednesday *gulp* So how does she look now the simple answer is a mess. The whole rear quarter is…See More

OMG how long has it been!?Well, I figure seeing as you guys were interested in the backstory on Skye, my MR2. That you might be interested to see how she is getting on now? If not, hit your back button now... otherwise, prepare for some potentially scary photos!After finding a lot of rust on Skye and more Importantly after being let down by someone who was going to weld her, she has been sat on axle stands for near on 7 months, bits had been taken off her to keep other MR2s we owned running. So…See More
"I somehow always felt that RWD was for performance cars, and FWD was for econoboxes. Somehow, a Hemi Charger, or even a 318 Charger (1969 of course) melting the tires off the line, was always more impressive, than the best FWD doing a burnout."
Daniel Fegent commented on JustJJ's blog post Skye - My MR2 - Introduction and Let the Work Commence!"awesome blog post :) good to see you've still got the car and still enjoying it :D maybe you won't remember me but I used to be on the MR2oc with Fizzs old car under the name Flamby :)"

The time has come for me to start this thread, it was inevitable, it had to happen. After reading other peoples threads about their cars and the issues they have had with them over time, it really brings home how much personality, love and attention we put into these cars (not to mention money!).
So, a little backstory perhaps.
After passing my test, my dad bought me a Toyota Yaris (one of the first 1.3l Yaris around).. well I say he bought me it, he bought it… Continue
