This one that I picked up is a 2001 model with 83000 miles on the clock and only 3 owners from new, everything is completely original in the car even the car mats and the audio system with a cassette player......
The interior is in immaculate condition too, half leather and suede and has still...
I have been looking around for a decent IS200 for about 5 years now, and although they can be picked up for as little as £1k the majority of them are pretty poor and with seriously high mileage
Here's the link for a pic of the rear ;

I wish that I had taken a "before" photo, but by the time I had completed the front callipers, I was caked in rust and brake dust!
It took me nearly 6 hours to deburr, clean and repaint all 4 callipers in a gold finish.
I also repainted the rear drums as well, so I will take some more photos later on and share
Here's the link below for some images,

Made a start refurbishing the calipers as they were in a sorry state.
My knees are a bit worse for wear this morning though.
Why can't I insert images directly? Never had this problem before?
When I try to attach image, I get a message saying that I don't have permission to perform this action?
We here is the start of my new blog on my new Lexus IS200 Sport, strangely enough I do really miss my Micra and definitely regret selling her.
Also it feels kinda weird blogging on another make of car and mixing up the MSC, but I would rather hang out here, before other forums.
Well unfortunately I have departed with my micra with much regret, therefore I bid you guy's and gals farewell and will miss the friendly MSC, I have decided to invest in an old favourite of mine, the Lexus IS200 Sport
Yeah no problem with the mot, easy to do, just remove the whole light and just take your time trimming to size with a Stanley knife until you are satisfied with it, then just peel the backing and stick it
