Nice MR2, £500 is a bit of a bargain did it have Tax & MOT? If so how long?

Those alloys looks sweet, need some serious arches on there, proberly some 4x4 type, lol.
 
There was MOT till september but it did only 700 miles since last one so no way of not passing, no tax though. Its had buckets, nice wheels and all that lot, just a bad day :(

About the arches, Thanks to markbognor for tip, I contacted bloke on Retro rides whos doing some nice bolt on arches. Hes doing two types, Wide and even wider (Y)

boot sprayed, its not awesome, but ill give it couple of days to dry properly then cut it, buff it and wax it and it should be ok.

I got myself some pirelli p vw golf wheels. This doesn't mean I wont be sorting the wire wheels, its just to much money to finish it for now as I have lost my job. Doing them means buying extended studs, bolt on arches, having them painted or do it myself still costs, getting new hubcap/wheelcaps as i have only 3 and tyres. they will have to wait. Im planing on striping the paint and polishing the aluminium. They can look great.

Little update:
Busy today. Went to scrap yard for some rear seat belts and found some plastic headlight covers so I got them for fiver. I will get yellow flyeye kit and put that on the actual plastics. Ive put the rear seats in as my grandparents are coming over and this is the only way of transport for us at the moment. Then i got find 60 quid for illegal classic number plate. ####ing ####ers. I included picture of finished boot, JDM cupholder ans missing aerial :D

Damn Rozzers! Don't see why they didn't give you a warning!
and those plastics are cool providing someone doesn't nick 'em :wasntme:
oh look i found some plastic headlight covers on my car lol
 
Black and silvers look rubbish on out of period cars anyway. Bummer that you had to get the fixed penalty though. Hurry up and get the P-sluts on there!
 
Very nice pictures from the random bridge.
& yes they could have given you a warning.Jobsworths!Traffic division with a moustache by any chance ;) I know it's hot round your way...
 
I believe one of them had mustache and they were from traffic division. Big Land Rover. The thing is I just went for little drive after Ive put the rear seats back in just to hear the difference and they pulled me over. I argued with them thats probably why I got find. I said to him that there is nothing wrong with that plate., its just on wrong car and I think they should stop people with actual plates with illegal fonts or spacing. #######s
I got nearly everything to finish the P's, Polishing kit, Alloy wheel paint, Little flap wheels to sand the bore. Just need money for tyres which I dont have right now.
I wanted to buy that flyeye kit, but that webside is closed at the moment :(

EDIT: and some ####er nicked one of my fluffy dice. Why the hell would someone do that? They cost like 2 quid. I dont wanna buy new ones, they are not the same anymore :(
 
Yeah you need to yer sir-no sir specially if decorative facial hair is present ;) I have also learnt the hard way lol. Go & report your missing fluffy dice to him.
Just checked the rest of this blog,good stuff going on
 
Thanks man. I just wish this was like a project car, but its daily driver now.
Well, about the coppers. I got personal issue with not respecting authorities, especially when they dont deserve it. :eek: so no sir-no sir for me.
 
yeh mate daily drivers=like me its my one and only!!
long grass-remember that from the old la-hagues manual:grinning:
