Not sure if this is the right section but...
my colleague at work asked me the other week if I liked mr2's (being an ex mx5 owner, and more recently a bmw 335i owner) and I said yes. said "do you want one for free?".............
the car: 1993 Black, JDM Import, tbar Mk2 rev 2, 144k kms on the clocks I believe. He mentioned its got some rev 3 bits on but unsure personally as im trying to learn about the cars now. he's also thrown in tbar glass covers, a greddy e-manage blue (not fitted), blitz turbo timer (not fitted) and
now the reason its free... its been in a field for 2 years and off the road for about 6 years (stored inside a unit for 4 ).... but I couldn't stand to see it rotting away in the field so I agree'd id take it off his hands.
so far on the problem list
1. headgasket - reason for car being put into storage (owner bought a rx7 fd and left mr2 alone)
2. sills need checking/welding
3. full service
4. brake rebuild/new disks
5. wheels/tyres (id like to get some stock wheels whilst I do work on it on the drive, as im really not a fan of the current alloys.
6. a bloody good clean
and anything else anyone can recommend.
luckily the tbar doesn't leak at all, and all the rubber in the engine bay hasn't quite had time to perish.. not to say it wont need anything.
but its going to be a long term project and im looking forward to getting it back on the road as im told its quite rare....and rare to get it for free...
here's my current inspiration:
