Had this a while now, so thought I'd get a thread up.
When my Corsa Sport was giving me trouble I decided to cut my losses and give up as I didn't want it to become a money pit. I was already saving for an RX-8 anyway so I had a bit of cash to buy something that I've always wanted... A mk2 MR2!
Here's how I got it back in April.
Condition wise it has as much good as it does bad. I have a pile of receipts from toyota from over the years, most of its service history and having had a look over the car found most common problem areas have already been addressed. Mostly with genuine parts. The sills are looking pretty crusty, and have already had a couple if bodged repairs though, so they may be an issue come MOT time. But ill worry about that when it comes to it!
Since then all I've done is tidy up little bits and pieces, and change little bits.
I've added a cone filter (sorry to mention them on a Corsa forum!) for some fun noise, and fitted a double DIN sat nav/Bluetooth/teasmaid head unit, with the rear USB and aux patched to in the centre console. Then I replaced the wheels with another OEM set as they were looking pretty sorry for themselves with crap cheap tyres, the new ones have had a quick refurb and have Toyos on them.
So, here she is now:
