Making my 87 like new again!
Posted: Fri Jan 07, 2011 10:50 pm
Well the time has finally come for me to retire my MR2 from daily service. For the last 7 1/2 years it has been the most fun daily driver that I have ever owned. I have even used it for the last few years to tow my aluminum boat around. In October it blew the head gasket and forced me to buy another vehicle. I got lucky and found an 83 Toyota 2wd pickup with only 155,000K on it. I also bought another Mr2, an 85, that had the engine rebuilt about 60-80,000K ago, but has a nasty noise coming from the trans. The plan is to take all the good parts from the 85 and make the 87 like new again. At the moment I have already removed the engine and trans from both cars, here are some pics.
