Very nice Steve, where do you find these cars?  Looks fabulous, I do like that blue too!

Every so often a little Gem comes up for sale and I have to own it.
The blue has cleaned up well, been a long time since I've owned a blue one. All the metallic colours polish up well Sable / green / blue

Installed the front speakers and flash taped the doors
Really pleased with the JL Audio front speakers very crisp sound and punchy bass

Productive day 

Few bit sourced this week, everything is starting to come together

No, manifold and sports cat, got a Blitz Nurspec R rear box to go on, I just wanted to swap it all in one go.

Hopefully they will get things sorted quickly for you.

Last week managed to source an almost full Toyota GB body kit so dropped off to body shop to begin painting.

I have a tte banana spoiler that I'm
Undecided on whether to fit so may have this for sale shortly

I think you should fit the banana....it completes the overall look IMO 

It's a marmite spoiler and I'm not sold on it this time. But at the same time I like it hahaha

Started cleaning and refurbishing some red leather seats as I like the idea of red and blue combo.
I've Cleaned them but feel they Still need to be recoloured, on recommendation I've bought a product called "scratch doctor" and plan to strip the seats down and give it a try.
Wish me luck.......

Do you mean scratch doctor? That looks a bit like the gliptone dye I used on my red seats yesterday (applied with a tiny square of foam). I bought a gliptone kit with some cleaner, the red dye and the conditioner.

I have done this a few times to mine and they look better but not like the transformational shots you see online!

I recommend the gliptone conditioner as you meed to protect the dye and feed the leather after you have dyed them.

Yes that's the stuff. It came out really well, and yes always feed the leather after, I use autoglym leather conditioner.
After all my hard work I think I prefer the black leather I currently have, So red seats are now up for sale.

Red seats collected today, making space temporarily in the garage

Plus an MR2 first for me, I've purchased Parts once owned by myself before

Pictures to follow

Weird

Collected car from body shop today,

Toyota GB spats / side skirts and Ducktail

Also fitted my old SP Alloys from my green car which I purchased a few weeks back

things are coming along nicely

I've got the wheels being refurbished next weekend and unsure of what colour and ideas?

Blacks wheels always look like they are lost in the arches. My favourite is generally black wheel with a diamond cut face then lacquered. Benefits of black with silver face.

Not sure I've even seen that on an SP wheel?

How about gold wheels?

I did think of gold wheels, but not sure if I'm brave enough.

I agree black wheels are lost and you loose the wheel design, I like the idea of silver or possibly the bronze colour I had my FL wheels done.

Gold wheels always used to look good on the blue Subaru's...should suit your car too.  I also like the idea of the SP's being gloss black and then diamond cut...now that would be unique  .  SP's look great in my view...the best looking wheel on an MR2

Hi there,
I'd like to restore/revive my red leather seats and having looked on the Gliptone website they ask for the trim code when ordering. Do you know the trim code you used for your kit please?

Cheers.

Just had a look at their website but couldnt tell what I bought as it was probably 5 yrs ago now. I got a kit with the wash, a bottle of dye (small) and the conditioner. You apply it with a tiny square of foam just laid flat side onto the leather. I couldnt even see a colour chart which seemed a bit daft so maybe I missed that? I would e-mail them and tell them your car seat colour, model and year and ask what colour, at least if they send the wrong colour you are covered but I think they will know.

Scratch doctor is a great product and easy to apply and differences are huge. eBay purchase at sub £15 well worth a try
