Crikey that is a monster. One owner from new! On the one hand it's nice to see someone's still keeping alive the Max Power world of the mid/late 90's. But then i think back to my annual trips to the Doncaster show back in that era and even then it would have looked a bit gaudy. Doing that to your tyres was never a thing, even then!Toyoda said:

Doing that to your tyres is a thing - it's part of that pro-street look. The lettering is often rubber and glued onto the tyre, after the existing surface has been shaved to give a smooth surface to lay the lettering on.
Fair do's, I stand corrected. At best then it's quite a mix of styles!MacR8A5 said:
I do wish more car manufacturers would put their logos on the inside of the bonnet. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve had the bonnet up and forgotten what car it is.

1. Complete Shell
Having a complete shell she provides the perfect base.
2. Mounted Upon a Spaceframe
She is mounted upon a spaceframe.
3. Fitted with MR2 MK1 Mechanics
Being fitted with an MR2 MK1 engine and mechanics these have some value, even if you don't keep them.
4. Interior
Being complete with her dash, seats and door cards, she has some interior.
5. Glass Windscreen
She has an undamaged glass windscreen which I know are incredible difficult to source.

Wow - proper late '90's / early '00's throwback there. Takes me back to the cruise scene when i had my R5GTT.Could definitely do with a few changes (bonnet vent, exhaust, etc) to tone it down & bring it up to date, but that's still got the basis of a pretty decent car going for it i reckon.

Lordy. It looks like a Cali, but one that got old and resorted to Botox and fillers. Yuk.irocfan said:
Classic example of an attempt to polish a turd. Polishing turds just doesn't work, some will never learn..
