The pictures included in this blog have been collected together by myself, and my two brothers over the years, so a re cap of this cars story I feel is needed to bring it all together :)
The car in question is a Mk2 Mr2 Rev2 2.0 N/A automatic, yep that's quite a model description, so maybe a picture would explain better....
So anyway as you can see this car started off looking pretty plain, dated and actually more pink than red from most angles.
So the idea was to make it something a bit different, make it stand out and live a few more proud years as a classic Japanese sports car.
So the idea came along to spray it, the Ford Focus ST had only just come out at this time, so an Orange similar to the one almost synonymous with that car was chosen...
Off to the spray shop!
After a week or so, and a fantastic job done by Armstrongs in Swindon, the car was finished and gleaming in its new coat of paint!
So the paint was looking great, and the car really stood out! But the opinion was that the standard wheels were letting it down now, so a new set was sourced!
Some Volk Rays turned up on the forums, and they were in quite a state...
A refurbished was needed on these before they could put on, so the colour scheme was chosen, a black with gold flake look... different and impressive looking :)
Then once fitted, the MR2 was restored :)
A fantastic looking car with many hundreds of miles under its belt since this overhaul happened a good few years ago, its attended shows, and even been magazine featured in Mr2Only magazine! Awesome car :)
I'm going to end this story for now with a few pictures of the final result taken by my brother Gavin Fegent :)
More to follow on this car tomorrow....
Thanks for looking!
