Any recommended north-west specialists? Manchester area. Trying to decide whether or not I should fix her

Post by doctorwedgeworth »

My 98 NA MR2 needs new rear shocks, new rear subframe, and new rear anti rollbar links. I'm tempted to upgrade to coilovers if I'm going to bother, but I'm also tempted to give up on this project.

Could do with someone MR2-specific to look at it in the greater manchester area and see if it's worth the hassle.

Only has 103k on the clock and I had a new clutch, timing belt and hose from hell last year.

I took mine to Parkside Garage next to Heaton Park for the MOT last summer. They're not specialists but the guy I spoke to used to own one and seemed pretty sound. @doctorwedgeworth - I haven't done shocks but I have had the subframe off and changed the ARB links, and neither are too bad, so I'd say definitely worth getting it fixed up given the work you've had done to it last year :th:

Bcrandon, I don't know if you're still looking for someone to do the work but incase you are drop me a message. I work on MR2s on the side. Based in Saddleworth 👍
