Feeler: been thinking of selling my duece to do a different project. I'm the "2nd owner" of almost 4 years now (got it in Jan 2005) for $3800. I bought it because the previous owner was the "original and only owner" and had a lot of work done with the car prior to selling it.

Extras not installed.
Tokico Illumina $410
Tein STech 235
F-355 Body Kit 375
Flare kit 80
SS Brake Lines 110
Tail Lights 330
Ash Tray / Door Bezelz 85 (i still have the old ones there it has some cracks)
========================
$1625

Just pretty much dressing it up slowly and keeping it in tip top shape. Other mods installed: had Tinted windows with you guys ($120), exhaust ($375) installation with new catalytic converter ($190), KNN filter ($45) (stock replacement not cone), cap/rotor/oem wires ($80), ss clutch line ($30). So roughly about $2500 in extras.

Would like to sell "Everything" for the new owner to continue with my unfinished project. I don't want to part anything out because if I can't sell the car, i'd like to install the extras and sell it as a whole. Not in a rush since this car is saving me a lot of $$$ in gas compare to driving my Titan .

How much do you guys think I can get?

Denny here,

I'm here in Escondido, CA, I have an '91 MR2, NA, Automatic.

I'm clearing my garage and I have 4 struts with replacement inserts and stock '91 springs, they do not include the top mounts. They were working great, I have upgraded to '94 springs and Struts/Koni inserts, from another user who upgraded to coil overs. If you are interested, you must take everything.

They are free, to the so-cal folks. I won't ship, but I could meet up with someone later or tomorrow, if they are going to the meet.

Yeah.... I actually want to start on another project but i just dont have space. Already have 6 cars in the driveway. I can buy another one and keep the mr2 its just the space....

We'll see.... But yeah, all the extra parts are whats going in the car

[Cjung]

hmm... ey mixxer how hard is the flare kit? im thinkin of doing them on my duece.. that one mr2 in forsale forum looks reallly nice

[masagsxr]

not that hard.. its fiberglass but pretty flexible like OEM bumper. I'm planning to mold it to the fenders/quarter pannel but mold it smoothly that you don't even see the lines.

[Cjung]

omg... i want to do it too

would u help me someday when i get an actual job?

Why not just have the sheet metal rolled and flared?

Sure no problem. By then i'll probably come out of a better way. You know we learn as we go

Already thought about rolling the front but its not going to come out good. If you notice the front fender is not that big/long. Its probably only like 8" from the top to the fender wells so there isn't really much to roll. Its not like most cars where its flat thats going down through the fender wells. I could probably do that to the rear quarter panel tho but the problem will now be by the bumper side. The quarter panel stops half way then the bumper goes. If you roll the quarter panel, you will still need to put a flare by the bumper to compensate where you rolled it.

I dont know if you saw on my brother's friend's blog. Here is how the fender roller looks.

mark2 (mixxer) really hope you don't sell your mr2. kind of hurt my ear when i read that.

[Mark_Dorman]

Hey Mixxer...maybe you could just weld more sheet metal on for the fender flares. I'm not a big fan of fiberglass. Plus the back end can look kinda funny with just flares and no wide body...we'll see though.

[Cjung]

this is the guy im talkin about...

FS: 1991 MR-2 GenIII Swapped, Magazine Featured

his widebody looks sick and i think imma go that route when it comes to exterior w/ a different color thou

btw mark this guy did flares on the rear fender and the front he said he cut parts of the fender and welded sheet metal to it

Yeah sorry about that. It does save me a lot of $$$ on gas and thats one of the major thing thats holding me back from selling.

Yeah thats another idea. I need to check out other cars like maybe the fenders off 350z and rear quarter panel of the porsche

Love that car Chris... It sure is clean and done right. Do you see now what i'm talking about the flare molding it smoothly and not show the lines? Makes it look like thats how it came with the car.... Very nice work.
