Hi, il put my hands up and admit I had forgotten about this form until BigKev reminded me today. I used to be on the old / other forum years ago with my wee Mk1 Rav4 Giant and Mk3 Blue Rav4. Anyhoo, have had a Mk2 Rav4 NRG for the last year that I’ve been tinkering with and put on some uber rare TTE bits and the ‘Giant’ alloys that I had kicking about. My wife loved driving it so much that we picked up a lovely wee Mk2 Granite this morning from BigKev, more known as Funnerburd 2! Having a wee nosey I see some old names on here too from before.     |

Welcome back! I remember that very cool, red 4.1. That blue 3dr is stunning. (And of course Funnerbird2 looks as good as ever!).
As a matter of interest, what make are those roof cross bars?

Hi, some additional pics of the NRG, I had the TTE upper and lower grills plus lower spotlights and TTE exhaust kicking about and put a colour coded spoiler on too plus renewed the suspension with KYB Ultra SR shocks and got the calipers refurbed and powdercoated too. We had a long weekend up in the Western Isles in the summer and wee Rav4 NRG was brilliant. Will prob do the same next year but take the Granite next time.    |

Stunning , thanks for posting :TU: Do you still have the Giant ? No, unfortunately rust got to the rear end and arches to the point there was nothing to weld too. I stupidly sold it in 2011 when I got a new job and it went up to Orkney, I then bought it back 2016 but the paint was faded and the salt air up there just rusted the back end of it. At the time of the new job, I didn’t realise it would work out so well and I could have kept it.    |

I can remember you posting about this in the past,such a shame as it was a great looking Rav :TU:
There's a black one local to me that was superb but I've not seen it for several years now.

Wife’s niece would have had F2 in a heartbeat, especially when we explained the two rear seats come oot so easily.......”Effin brill......that would take a bale of ma horse’s hay perfectly then.....!”
Needless to say, she went t’bottom of list of potential preferred buyers. Truly.......would not have sellt her the car.....!! Couldnae.....!
