It came from Track Day Doorcards, Simon is on Facebook and very helpful. Not sure exactly what the material is called but it came as 4 easy to cut sheets of plastic, a bag of fixings, 2 door pulls in a colour of your choice and the covers to keep it all neat. The templates tale the time to make but weren't difficult. Just loads of little jobs left to go that will all add up! Rear windows are all now bonded and bolted in. Boot lid now feels solid to close and no longer rattles and the same for the rear quarters. Plastics 4 Performance did a great job with them. Just the drivers side windows left to bolt in and the car is "sealed" Accusumo is now bolted down to the rear floor. I can now run the pipes to the bulkhead and wire in the remote control to the dashboard Rear end is taking shape, so I can start to clamp down all the hoses, pipes and cables. WIndscreen trims are also now in and looking good (apart from they need s damn good clean ). The 4 wires for the heating elements need to be routed and I thought they'd go into the cabin under the seal but I was told they need to go into the scuttle panel so I'll have to find a way to route them and wire them up. THink I've already found a way but need to check by doing it.

Some more updates and pics. I have successfully replaced the axle on my second attempt. All I needed was an angle grinder with cutting disc of the right size to get into the hub and a chisel. Time total was about 4 hours of cutting, prying, whacking and swearing, but after I got the nut out it took roughly 20mins to have the car back on the ground. Unfortunately, during last two weeks some other issues appeared. Exhaust rusted through and rear muffler is totally disconnected from the mid section. From what i read on fb group, Toyosports exhausts are pretty decent quality, so I got a 60mm stainless cat back for 280€ delivered, but there was obvious mistake from the seller. I paid for one, but received two full sets with a day difference... I tried to compare it to the original exhaust and it seems to line up perfectly, although it is supposed to be for MB6 not MC2. As far as other problems go, F/L upper ball joint has a nasty clank when the suspension is fully decompressed for example on speed bumps and A/C is not working, probably just needs to be refilled.

Thanks guys means a lot going to his funeral tomorrow and then after that straight on the car I've got a total of 2 weeks off in May to boost the car along a bit

should hopefully get the cover back tomorrow or Wednesday so I'll get some more photos. I'm tempted to get another done and put it on the wall

Sorry to hear about your friend but nice motivation at the same time. Look forward to seeing the progress

Sorry to hear about your friend bud. Nice idea to build the car in his memory though

Hi everyone been a while since I've uploaded anything on this. Be on and off the last 6 months just had so much else going on. I have now a reason to put everything else aside to build this car as a close friend who was very interested in the car and who was one of the few people that supported me with it tragically passed away a few weeks back and now I'm going to build the car in his memory. There is a lot come with this project and will need a hand with a few things and it most definitely will be one of a kind and I look forward with sharing it with you all so watch this space!
