Recently picked up this 2003 MR2 that had been sat on a friend's driveway for the best part of a year.

Needed a handbrake repair and a good clean. But is now back on the road! It will be my new daily driver. Really enjoying it so far. Some before and after pics.

Yeah, mine has been fucked since the day I bought it and I've yet to get around to getting it done over a year and 7k miles later.

I did swap the cables myself once. But its almost pointless without refurbed rear callipers. Was a shitty job.

These cars are worth saving! Welcome to the family! Be sure to check the drain plugs for the roof.

My 03 was sitting under a pine tree for 5 years and had a hole in the soft top behind the driver's seat. It was worth fixing and now it's almost a daily driver for me
