I just got my car out of the bodyshop yesterday with new paint and some other work done.
You guys probably don't remember my posts about this car from about a year ago when I got in an accident. I've had nothing but bad luck with this car which still continues to now.
I bought it September of 2006.
-First night driving it I got a speeding ticket.
-About a year ago to this day I got in an accident with it.
-That Thanksgiving weekend an oil line cracked while on the highway, spraying oil all over the downpipe which then caught on fire. Car was down for 9 months of repair, basic maintenance, interior swap, and some other mods. I get it running and it goes into bodyshop.
-I buy set of used OEM wheels from the later year MR2s. DHL "loses" (it gets stolen) one of the wheels. I can't just buy a single 14 year old wheel so I'm stuck riding on 3 out of 4 for now.
-I pick it up yesterday, do some light interior work, then drive over to my school's parking garage to take pics because the sun had already set. Halfway up the parking garage white smoke just starts pouring out of my engine bay. A coolant hose decided to spring a hole big enough to fit my finger in. Four hours later I get a new hose in there and take these pictures. It was freezing out and my hands were shaking so the pics are a little blurry.
Flat black on the engine vents
I know it needs to be lowered. I have springs, just need to wait until I have money for struts.
And here are pics of how it originally looked, of the damage after the crasm and of when I was fixing it back up.
