zelig2 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 So I just bought a 91 N/A Toyota MR2 and my neighbor mentioned that I should join up on the site. He didn't tell me his name on here so maybe, eventually I'll figure that out. I just flew down to Florida to buy the car about three weeks ago. I had been hunting for a hardtop mk2 MR2 to be used in a particular project I was planning. I wanted the hardtop for my height, lighter weight and extra frame support. I finally found one that was in excellent shape in Florida. The previous owner was super anal about how he cleaned it, far more than I'd ever be. The MR2 was lowered about an inch, upgraded the struts to be 4-way adjustable, new lightweight rims, replaced the header, removed the cats and replaced the muffler. The guy had a crap tint job done on the side windows so I removed that as soon as I got home. I don't know how long I'll hold on to it as my work just agreed to fund my project, but they're not sure about the MR2 as the perfect car. I used to have a Mazda RX8 for a few years that was a blast to play with as well. Anyway, enough about that, here are some photos of the car when I got it in Florida: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3067/2736342432_d05900624d_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3270/2735507787_c8a5fe9b0f_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3007/2735507829_dc43521683_o.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3028/2735508177_df32e93ef1_o.jpg 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zelig2 Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Okay, where do you work, because I would love to have someone fund my project! Welcome nonetheless! It was pretty nice of them. I told them what I was trying to do and they said "sounds great, here's $30k". The downside due to internal policy I can't sell them the car for the project so I might end up selling this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
