dsms detail- Toyota MR2

[dsms]

This MR2 is mainly used an an autocross car. This car takes quite a beating on the track and is an amazing performer, it puts about 300hp to the wheels right now and is still a work in progress. My goal for this car was to obviously recondition it as best and possible and also to gain this young guys father as a client, who is an avid collector and enthusiast...and a guy who demands perfection. He is the owner of 2 M5`s(91` and 01`), NSX, Carrera, 2.5rs Subby,Audi RS6, 1984 Porsche 930 turbo and a soon to be delivered Nissan GTR. Hopefully the job on his sons MR2 will convince him to trust me with the rest of his cars.



The entire car was done inside one of his garages, the family was away so I had his entire garage to myslef for a few days, just came and went as I pleased. I wasnt able to move the car so everything was done inside, this rather small space was a bit of a pain to work in. Car had lots of road tar, waterspots, swirls and marring. Some paint chipping and bondo work on the lower half was a little difficult to work around also.

Any full shots of the car? With the demise of the Supra, MR2 & Celica Toyota has really lacked a sporty car.

[Saumil]

nice job!~

[imported_artikxscout]

looks almost like the Celica that I did :). Those single stage paint sucks, but once you get them polished, it looks so much different.

Those were the best long angle shots I could get, hopefully I can see the car outisde soon and take some more pics

nice gloss on that last shot. Any special technique used on the fins of the engine cover?

Not really.The whole engice cover area was a tight squeeze even with a smaller pad. I could only bring the flex to a point but then the wing interfeard with polishing underneath it and the fins I couldnt machine polish I just did what I could with a MF polishing towel and some Z-AIO and topped it with Z2 by hand with an MF applicator.
