Fitting steering wheel ferrari replica mr2

Decided to give the interior a vacuum today lol, it was filthy. Fitted my boss kit and an Isotta leather and chrome steering wheel i picked up at Halfords (bargain at £60) Smiley

Should be getting a nice set of matching Sparco pedals soon also, just need to go and get them. I will soon be turning my attention to putting in the wiring for the sound system/amps etc... hence the cleaning out.


More body work 2 ferrari mr2 replica

Other than that I have been continuing on preping the body. I havent had much time so i've just been doing little bits at a time when i have had time. The body i recon is 80% there Smiley I hope to be ordering the wheel spacers this month. Then I can see what the wheels look like fitted. Exciting times!




More body work 1

Hi, just a quick update.

May not seem alot but i've done some work.
Mainly focused on the body, trying to get it as perfect as possible for paint. This will save me alot on the cost of the bodyshop.

Completed driver side door-wing gap. I now have this how i want it. I've done about 50% of the passenger side also. Filling minor inperfections, etc mainly on rear area and sides.






Bonnet fitted also. Hopefully if the weather is good (unlike the last few days) i should hope to get alot more done tomorrow.

Ferrar mr2 door skins fitted and bonded

I bonded the rear section on.
Fibreglassed the roof join.
Filled one door jam and door.
Fitted the rear lights (not wired)
Some rubbing down of the body and filling holes.

Right now my attention is on filling the other side door/jam and fitting the bonnet.

Heres a few pics in no particular order.

Body adjustments of mr2 ferrari

Been spending time on making the fine adjustments and alignment of the body, one of the most important things i think and patience is needed to get it right. I should have update photos soon.

I bonded the doors today, got the door locks and handles working in the new skins. Also mounted the rear deck lid latch (reposition of existing boot latch). Some fine adjustments to do tomorrow.
Also mounted wing mirrors, and started transferring the electric window mechanism from the old wing mirrors. Pics soon.

Moving the fuse box

The fuse box is simply rotated 180 degrees so that it will be accessible when the front wings are on.

Original position


As you can the current boot layout of the toyota mr is in the way of where the ferrari front wing will sit. if it is left in its current position the fusebox will not be able to be accessed later on.

Moving the fuse box. This was simple by unbolting and turning it around.


New position allowing for the ferrari replica wings to sit in place.
