Project #26 MR2MAN

Nice revival and use of your Mr.2

I love seeing just good simple basic cars. What the world needs more of!

The intake being behind your left ear right out side the window looks quite enjoyable.

That's an awesome score!
Wish more cars were like that.

I don't know, that panel looks pretty perfect to me. Scratch by the filler cap or something?

So nice that the quarters are just replaceable, I kind of wish more cars were like that.

Theres 2 scratches by the filler, hoping they can get polished out and theres a few minor dings here and there, but yea the panel is a HUGE improvement

I was wondering if you were going to take care of the rear quarter. I was assuming that was pretty big job, but I had no idea they just unbolt and bolt on for the most part. Great parts score!

I actually had a few chances to grab replacement ones, and I lagged so instead of driving an hour or two I had to drive something like 3 hours each way. It was one major reason I wanted to get the CAB sorted out on the Wagon. I picked up a few extra parts for other SpyderChat members who pitched in on the fuel so it was just a few hours away from my wife.

Next is the bumper...

My recent search for a front fender liner turned up an actual rear fender/ quarterpanel in a confirmed correct color (no more yellow parts here!!) Rather than missing out again, I made the journey to Fresno (~200+ miles each way)


E46 Wagon easily hauling the parts (picked up some more parts for another member)





The panel wasn’t perfect but quite an improvement over the old. It was pretty easy to swap over, and the trickiest part was already decided for me as the panel had the 3 rivets drilled out already so I drilled mine out too.

Point of no return!






And Done!... sort of. I still need to put the hardtop back on

42! What track is that? Seem like they have the options to make a bunch of different layouts.

Its the Streets of Willow course, circumcised so you dont get the whole tip lol

I really like the intro to the video. Nice work.

Made another quick video, kinda like it. Quick 5 minutes

Im up to 41... 959 to go before yellow fangs

[2mAn]

At the very least some fangs would be nice, even if they are vinyl.

I think the Silver paint leads itself better to the tried and true shark mouth

The ad was definitely a silver bumper. Seller claimed he had it but sold it... just failed to mention the other one he had was a totally different color. I think the Harlequin is a funny idea, but the plan (obviously) is to paint is Silver ASAP

I do like the style of the yellow bumper. So the seller had photos of a silver bumper and showed up with a yellow one? Or the photos were so bad that it wasn't possible to see the color of the bumper? Paint the bumper silver, but tape off two stripes for original yellow racing stripes.

Guys, don’t you know how YouTube works!?

I need to get at least 961 more subscribers, minimum!..

Get me 999,961 more subscribers and I promise Project MHar2lequin will happen

Also, those familiar with the real Harlequins know that I will need to buy at least 2 more MR2s and disassemble them, swapping parts. I will give the other two away. Maybe I could get S3Suspension to sponsor it and have them all setup with Coilovers and sticky tires...

Mike, they should be small yellow racing fangs.

Racing fangs are where it's at. Or the E30 outline in the R3VLimited logo. Or both.
