Duy ' s 95 build

Looks like I need to be committed to the crazy house, as I got another mr2. This time it's a 95 sunroof.
You know how you just get bored and randomly look on craigslist from time to time to see if there are any cool cars you can buy for "cheap". Well I was really bored over a month ago while working and found this car. Now a wiser man would say no idiot you just got one there should be no reason to buy another one and especially so soon. But what can I say I'm far from wise. I texted the owner back and forth for a good month getting details sorting things out. Then once the opprotunity finally showed it self I got a rental car and drove from NYC to Boston MA to look at the car. What I saw was a beautiful body with low miles on the chassis only 57k. I feel kind of bad as I already logged 700 miles onto the car driving it around this week.
Then there always has to be a kicker right, the engine bay made me want to vomit. His "friend" had the bright idea to install a turbo onto a 5sfe. Intall was done well in every way wrong that it could be. How does the car run is beyond me but it runs for now.
Things the car needs a little tlc and a new engine swap. Oh and got to get it back on the right coast.
