      I think it looks stunning. I'm thinking even if I tried to copy what you did, it would still not look as good!

      I thought it was a great episode. I'm in the MR2 community and unfortunately, a lot of the rust and such came back on that car. Apparently it was scrapped a few years later. Then again, this episode was over 15 years ago. That car would be twice as old by now.

    This cars MOT expired back in 2012 so is now probably scrapped. This is what it failed on:
    Reason(s) for failure
    Offside Registration plate lamp not working (1.1.C.1d)
    Nearside Front Body or chassis has excessive corrosion, seriously affecting its strength within 30cm of the body mountings (6.1.B.2)

      The episode is from 2004. So after 8 years of possible neglect this is the end result. I think they MOT tested the cars before selling them. Apart from the corrosion all the other MOT failures were misdemeanors.
