This car has been a major work in progress over a number of years now but I have finally gotten it to the stage where I'm happy with it. It's my daily driver and I love it to bits. A lot of my engine pics and interior pics are old and outdated, so will take some more soon.

Feel free to comment.

 

Thanks for the encouragement guys... It's been a labour of love for a long time now... i'm just glad i'm finally getting the chance to drive it these days as its been on and off the road too many times to count.

I will definitely get some engine pics up soon... its not overly pretty but it does the job

 

Currently it has an SV21 Camry gearbox in it which was installed by the previous owner... It's definitely the weak point of my car atm as 2nd and 3rd synchros are going fast, plus leaking gearbox oil... so am looking for possibly an MR2 box with LSD? If I can't find one without costing me the earth I may just have to get the current box overhauled.

 

I'm gonna have to chime in and say, it is a very nice looking car. Very nice choices, seemingly all around. Props.

 

wow... its a beauty both performance and exterior.. nice job!

 

Thanks for the compliments guys... Wheel details are up top in description...
Colour is a toyota colour... called "Wine Red Pearl"

UPDATE:

Coilovers!!!

Ride is quite smoother, and handles like it's on rails!!
