thanks for all the pics, especially the attention you paid to the leading edge of the door skin mismatch, I like the way you cut the fender to overlap the door on the top where the body lines didn't line up.
I'm seriously considering this, seemingly for similar reasons as you, my bumper is trashed, and i need new headlights and MR2 panels are way more expensive than celica ones. my seats and engine are also pretty tired, I might be way ahead of the game to just grab a celica that's been rear ended or something and start dissecting it.
also, that car looks sweet,
If I had seen this a few years ago you could have convinced me lexus made an MR2 twin
edit 2: searched sivart because of this thread. that car had a rough start, but towards the end and with a few less gauges that custom dash he made looked pretty clean
I'm curious what the car looks like now.
