matty1 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Back again, this time with my mr2. Was meant to get a rev 5 in a rare blue cosmos for £2100 2 weeks back, waited a week to go see it cause that's when the guy come back off holiday so was really excited to go see it, Friday finally come and went to go see it. We got there and the car wasn't there, called the guy and said be there in 5 mins. So he finally arrives after having it washed and honestly, the car was nothing like the photos, rotted cills, fine scratches all over the car, couple of dents and bumps. Complete waste of my time and the guy was a massive d**k head, when I left he started texting me threatening messages for not but his heap of junk. Anyways was a bit dissapointed so back on eBay and found this one at £2500, thought it's worth a go. Got there and it was mint, no rust, no dents and no scratches. So offered him £2000 and got it. So here it is. Needs mot this month and cambelt doing ASAP. Needed all new tyres so decided to get new rims. So here it is with the new shoes on Not the best photos but hey ho. There 17x8 rota torques in gunmetal. Looks amazing in life but photos ain't the best, peons the stupid iPhone! Anyways hope you all like! Next stage is intake, coilovers, exhaust.

dr_broon Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 looks very tidy like the new rims as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Really like the wheels you've put on! Looks super tidy that, shame about the first one but that's sometimes how it goes. The threatening messages aren't on though, send him a c0ck shot or an old woman's badger! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Looks like a real stunner man!!!! Fair play persevering! The other guy sounds a right douche! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty1 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Cheers lads. Yea the first guy was a major douchebag, but kinda glad I waited or wouldn't of got this one. One of the reasons I got it cheap is because mots this month and the cambelt has never been changed and it's clicked up 102,000 miles.... Not been driving it much but hopefully get it sorted this weekend. It's so nice to drive, for stock suspension it corners lovely. Plans for it, single exit exhaust, hsd coilovers, brakes, and really any other small bits this year and get it running good. And an intake kit. Hopefully gonna see if it's ok to bring it to japfest on the stand. Il park it in the corner or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
