This page is for the start of my newest project.
(Here is chasis #2 in its stock form. You can also see the red donor car on the far right)
After the Subaru WRX I wanted another fast car. However, I am in college and have insufficient funds for a Porsche. I considered several other candidates in the less than $10k category. I allready have a few hondas, I dont like American cars, and I needed something with lots of aftermarket possibilities out of the box. The Mr2 just seemed like a perfect fit. Its a reliable, cheap, light, rear-wheel drive car, with a touch of exotic in look and mid-engine position. Plus it has a turbo and T-tops. So then I went out to find a car.
Here is a rough list of modifications for those who are impatient. For more in depth coverage and pictures, please go onto the next few pages. Everytime I look at this list, my wallet hurts.
