Driving it for winter earlier this year (winter tires = 0 issues at all):
Had a claim for front bumper, so I color matched some new bits and pieces:
before:
after:
got some wheels
photo shows the lips refinished by green's, faces waiting to be powdercoated
went to LA with BCMR2 with my gf with her own mr2, kakucaekz
took part in the #lookwhatyoustartedsteve cypress waterfall immediately the day after I got back:
daily for the summer, multiple sea to sky drives, some back roads from maple ridge to harrison, seattle a few times, etc
disassembled wheels, changed wheel face to piano white, changed tire size, get the front bumper re-done (paint mismatch):
another BCMR2 event with 30+MR2s: Ocean Shores, WA
pretty awesome, it's legal to drive on the beach here for miles and miles!
went autocross twice, original 24 year old clutch died on the 2nd one, codriving with immorality (it was my fault, not his):
replaced it with the help of le gf, mb_, and immorality:
and got a chip from the LA chip, which turned into a 3 foot crack the first day it was below 0...so I managed to get the very last available OEM windshield in California. thumbs up JP Surrey Toyota
then bent both right side wheels on a raised pothole...(alley between 22nd/normandy just west of boundary)
so just in time for storage, back to oem chrome to the dome wheels:
