I made some aluminum inserts and glassed them in so they could be tapped in place.

After assembling the rear lid components I focused on getting the front lid corrected. I had two inner hoods, one by John Watson (in the white) and another I aquired from Mr. Butler (in the blue). The Watson hood is of impecable quality and tough to beat, the issue is it had been altered to use the MR2 hinges, the other had the OEM mounts so I made the decision to graft the one to the other.

Thanks for the advice Auto, I went ahead and welded those up as they were sent to me as individual parts, I then hit them with some black paint to prevent them from rusting. I also broke out the gas shocks and other pieces to check fitment.

Good buddy of mine sent me some rear hatch hinges  ::bounce can't wait to weld em up and get them intstalled on my hatch!!!  ::headbang

I got those from Carlos also and they worked great.  All the other ones I tried to make work never worked properly but these did right out of the box.  Just remember to place the hinged point as close to the roof as possible so the hatch doesn't hit the roof edge when you open it.

I  LOVE those hinges.....

I don't need any, but I would buy a set.... you know just in case   lol

Thanks Adrian, I'm pretty fond of them myself if only I could break even on the time invested I'd be making sets for everyone  :LL:

Thanks gents!  ::beers I like the idea of using the turbo wastegate actuator as a substitute and will probably do just that if I can't find a better match. For the intake tubes I have the OEM ones only other thing I want is another OEM intake manifold! I have molded the one pictured but was hoping to keep with OEM if possible.

Turbo wastegate actuator? (too large?) or fuel pressure regulator?

Anyone know where I can find a similar looking part? Doesn't need to be exact from a Murci, just want a few for my engine cover. It's the throttle body actuator and I can't seem to find a good substitute.
