Return of the JPS (smoking is very expensive for your pocket

Lovely restoration indeed.

Hi
yes I'm very happy how the interior turned out, I tried to get it similar to the original, but improve in some ways ie black carpets and lower door cards (hopefully this will not show dirty marks) I thought that the black piping would go well with cars theme.
I'll try and get some closer pictures of the rocker switch covers I made and then satin chrome plated them.

Hi
A far as the windscreen is concerned. You should check with Spydercars, but I don't think they have altered the fiberglass. (See photo). I'm not sure if they use a special rubber for the edge. All I know that it doesn't leak!

Hi
I'm hoping to attend this as long as the weather is OK. So anyone is coming please come up and say hello.

"as long as the weather is OK"..................Eh? D

Just to say it looks terrific. I'll be looking for some Toyota seats!

[woodie]

Hi
The seats give a bit more room in the back, by being a bit thinner
I'm 5'10" they fit me perfectly (being Chapman size) my brother is 6' 2" and said "very comfortable ". He's head wasn't touching the roof.

AHi
A few more pictures The two side wing badges I made out of Titanium, lazer engraved and epoxy enamelled.
I just wasn't happy with the originals.

How is your brother built? Long in the legs or torso? Skinny? Heavy?

I'm 6'4", long in the torso, and built a little heavy, and whilst the stock federal seats are OK for me, those Toyota seats look so good that I'm quite intrigued! Their greater adjustability, better head-restraint, and the heating are all appealing attributes. Am I correct to guess that they came from the most recent generation of MR2?

[woodie]

Hi
My Brother is long in the torso, medium built, say 14 and half stone, (203 pounds/92 kilograms).
I pretty sure they are from a earlier MR2. Check with Spydercars.

Hi everyone
I have to make an apology. I said that the seats in the car were from a MR2. What i should have said was MX5 (oops) sorry for this mistake.

The only external changes that were made are, a modern fuel cap, (I don't like the original, it spoils the cars line, in my opinion) And the windscreen does not use the big chrome plastic strip for bonding in the glass, which never looks satisfactory.

Woodie, can I ask what solution you used for the windscreen? We're getting the plastic trim on ours replaced, but like you I really dislike how it looks and would love a cleaner look. Thanks!

Car looks fantastic! Congrats after a multi-decade build, must feel great.
