The VERY reluctant sale of my unfinished RWD 175 BHP Project mini (Toyota MR2 – Mk2 – ACIS version)
The car comes with 95% of the bits required to complete the car. There is a large list of new bits but some of them will need a bit of cleaning up as they were fitted/stored some time ago.
I have taken some quick photos and will add them shortly. Unfortunately I didn’t get chance to clean everything first... there is a lot.
I am after a quick sale, so I am not willing to split the car (although the new parts alone are worth more than the asking price).
In brief:
• New Mini spares 4 Pot Alloy Callipers vented
o New Kevlar Brake Pads
o New Front Braided Hose Kit
o Metro vented discs (rusty but should be recoverable)
• Solid Mount Front Sub frame, professionally shot blasted and painted (offshore grade paint)
• Fully Adjustable Front End
o New Spax Coil Overs
o New Camber Tracking Kit
o New Adjustable Lower Arms
o New Longer Track Rod ends
o New Ball Joints

o New Timken Wheel Bearings
o New Tie Bush Kit
o New Heavy Duty Tie Rod Ends
• JK composite seats – The padding needs replacing and is available from JK composites

• Fibre Glass Dash with centre console piece

o Set 1: Have New Yokohama A539 tyres, the front wheels are standard mini 101 PCD and offset (ET16). The rear have a 108 PCD (Ford) with ET23 offset.
o Set 2: Wheels only. The front have 101 mini PCD with ET23 offset and the rear have 108 PCD with ET16 offset.
o Note: one of the wheels is discoloured and will probably need repainting. I cannot remember if it is one with or without a tyre.
• Original 12” minilite wheels with knackered tyres (somewhere)
• Arc Angel Fibreglass flip front
• Two Sets of Arc Angel Sports Pack Arches

o These engines I purchased the MR2 complete and stripped it. The engine was running at the time.
• Ford Scorpio Running Gear including hubs, brake Callipers, drive shafts
• MR2 wiring Loom with all of the relevant connections identified, using tie wraps and tie wrap ID characters, as per MR2 wiring diagrams.

• Original MR2 stainless steel tubing which ran the full length of the car connecting the engine to the radiator.
• Westfield type front wheel arches (for inner rear wheel arches)
• All internal panelling is aluminium (ignore the green colour)
I am sure there will be other items which I have missed off.
In total I have spent over £4k.
Free Delivery:
Depending on location (I am in Leeds), I may be able to deliver the car free of charge but will have to remove the engine and front sub-frame.
