Rust Repairs On Our MR2

Our 1988 Toyota MR2 has been in the hands of classic car technicians Monty and Chris. They have been working to repair areas of rust and corrosion that were found on the car during Steve’s initial assessment and inspection.

Now that the rust issues have been repaired, our MR2 is looking great and will soon be back with its owner.

Preparing For MOT

Classic car technician Steve has been working on our 1988 Toyota MR2 getting it ready for an MOT.

Preparation work began with welding repairs on the driver’s side front chassis. Steve noticed that, unfortunately, the corrosion had spread to the front of the sill and inner sill as well as the inner skin of the anti-roll bar fixing.

Once the welding repairs were complete, Steve went on to replace the split steering rack boots. The brake fluid reservoir pipes were badly cracked so these were also replaced.

During his work on our 1988 Toyota MR2, Steve also found that the rear brake calliper pistons were corroded, had seized and were leaking.

New Parts For Our MR2

Our 1988 Toyota MR2 has been under the care of classic car technician Steve recently.

The car is with us for a full service, brake fluid and coolant change, and a thorough assessment of its current condition. During his assessment, Steve noted that a new water pump and cam belt were needed.

Steve fitted both of these before also fitting a new alternator too.

Work will continue on our 1988 Toyota MR2 before it is ready to be returned to its owner with a fresh bill of health.

In The Workshop – 1988 Toyota MR2

We have recently welcomed our 1988 Toyota MR2 into the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.

While it is with us, the team will be giving it a full service as well as giving the car a thorough inspection to make sure it leaves us in full working order.

As you can see from the pictures below, this is a fantastic looking classic car and we are looking forward to getting to work on it.
