That harness looks so tidy, good job. Will be great to see it in the car.

Oh joy - Photobucket has knocked "3rd Party Hosting" on the head, so all the photos of this build have disappeared :lol:
Consigned to the pages of history I think.
Charlie might yet get his way for me to use the photo hosting option of the forum 8)

Anyhow, back on topic, long time with no update on my AW11 - but lots has continued to happen in the last year or so.
Not sure if there's any interest in what I get up to MR2 related or the issues I'm having and needing to be overcome.
I'll post up an update if there is.

Isn't the photobucket thing a massive PITA? Pretty sure I've been using it for over 10 years now so it's a bit disappointing for them to do this. I can see the point that they're probably spending a lot on providing hosting for images that never lead to any ad revenue for them, but I can't imagine that this move is going to do anything to get them any more users.

Anyway back to MR2s... I'm always keen to see what you're up to Mark, your's is one of the more interesting and unique AW11 builds on here :)

Yes please Mark. :lol: In fact you can edit your posts (being a club member) so feel free to drag-drop some of the missing photos onto your older posts if you have the inclination. At least a few of the more strategic ones, cos that would be AWesome.

OK, OK, all old photos in this thread are updated and showing again :D
Added benefit of higher definition hosted here than Photobucket, so that's a plus.
It's almost a year and a half since the last update when it wasn't even running, such a lot has changed and boy is it fun to drive.
Now I've sorted the photos and ditched Photobucket I'll get onto the real changes in the last 18 months.
