I purchased the car on Feb 26, 2005 with 54,710 original miles with one owner. I thought it was too good to be true and my wife actually had to talk me into getting it. My first MR2 purchase didn't go well to say the least.
I'm old so my tastes are a little on the conservative side so the plan was to make it look like something the factory would do for a show without going over the top.
Here are some recent pictures shortly after getting it back from paint (Feb 1, 2008) and a list of modifications. I will try and get some good (daylight) interior and engine pictures soon.
The paint and body work (page 2) really took a bite out of the budget, so right now I'm just enjoying the new turbo and suspension. I'm open to any suggested improvements so please don't hold back.
A special thanks to my wife Cathy, Japanese Auto Masters (Dennis, Joel & Rich), Virginia Speed (Mike) and London Bridge Motor Company (Charlie & Brian) for everything.
In the picture is my father, my wife, me and my son just before we went to the Falcons vs Colts game on Thanksgiving.
Thanks for viewing my page!
