The MR2 is MOT'd again :)

things done

1. new drivers front wing liner fitted

2. sorted the chewed up suspension issue new rubbers and top cups fitted, it would seem id not noticed the top cups have a small cut out to sit on shock notch if you will mine did not and as such moved with steering when they should not have !

3. new steering universal joint fitted.

so really starting to come together now.

Only sad thing is i was thinking of the money i've now spent on the MR2 in last couple of years and it adds up ! ! ! :(

just keep telling myself the nicer looking ones will probs need the same work anyway !

Money converted into smiles is priceless and that what the car does.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Hello one and all long time no see !

Though I'd update this.

After doing nothing for over a year I got project black MOTd last week.

I had to have a new battery, handbrake adjusted and a new squib (the part that allows the steering wheel to turn but airbag and horn to still work) fitted.

The squib was my own fault due to incorrect fitting of the wheel when I did the steering UJ.

So really it needed a battery and handbrake adjusting (freeing off as had been stood).

All in all not bad, the new disks that had just sat even cleared up with use on way to the MOT.

Happy days 😃

Just read back through the thread with interest as a fellow black PFL owner. What a journey!

It certainly has been. When purchasing the car I always looked at it as an education. I have spent alot more than the cars value. But walked away with a much larger understanding of how to repair certain parts of a car and how they work.

You can't beat in the job learning!

Well project black is for sale on ebay. It's just not getting used since new shifts at work and new misses.
