They are a little small in the arches for my taste. Maybe some bbs style wheels or the mk3 wheels.

Beautiful, well wear! That colour looks great in the flesh, love the seats too.
I hope you're cranking that 80's cd up to the last while driving!

Cheers! Have a list of jobs to do starting with full service including all filters and gearbox oil. Wheels, repaint calipers, replace the stuck electric aerial, upgrade speakers and a few more that will surely crop up.

the mast and the motors can be bought separably ... or at least they can be for the sw20 MR2, so if the motor is working you should be able to save a few quid and just get the mast, I had to do it for mine and it only takes 30 mins or so to fix.

Took a few more pictures today after a good spin out!
Still have a good few jobs I'd like to do but have now given the car a full service, replaced the seals and bearing in the distributor and a good polish and valet.
