UPDATE: 4/9/07
Well, got another 4A-GE. It's a 7 rib red top, so it's stronger. Going to build a hi-comp engine...yay!
...and here's a shot of the MR2 looking pretty in the garage...

Added the rear triangle, and took a pic of it. I put on the front rubber lip and the deck lid off my 86, haven't taken a picture of that yet. For now, here's a pic of it with the triangles on it.

UPDATE: 5/29/06
Well, been driving the car for a while, and it seems to be working fine. I took the struts off of the '86 and stuck them on this one, since the "lowered" struts were either broken or torched off, which sucked. So now it's at normal height again, no more scraping when I go over a speed bump! Also, I put the 86 front bumper and front left fender on, although it is a lighter shade of red. I really like the red on the rest of the 85, I think I'm going to re-paint the whole car that color. Now on to the pictures.
