I'd call this project 85% complete. I just picked up a set of really nice black sun visors, a NOS (new old stock) ashtray and an excellent pair of C pillar trims that only had one broken nut that I was able to fix.
To date I've done the following:
- sourced and had OEM correct pinstripes made
- paint by Wing
- refinished the OEM tear drop wheels
- mounted new Cooper tires
- replaced all the lug nuts with the OEM longer nuts
- applied pin stripes, OEM rear chicken on the bumper, OEM Toyota decal on the front bumper, reproduction Supercharged and Toyota MR2 decals from TwosRUs
- installed new bezels; radio and the one behind it
- removed old school aftermarket alarm
- oil change, OEM filter
- installed OEM red plug wires
- installed OEM double din radio
- installed better condition OEM leather steering wheel
- installed new OEM shifter boot and NOS OEM leather shift knob
- installed new gear shift pattern decal
- installed OEM battery
- changed hand brake cables
- changed transmission oil to Red Line MT-90 transmission oil
- changed supercharger oil using the GM stuff
I still have the following on my to do list:
Body:
- re-apply a few of the stripes. I noticed that some of stripes were off as in one stripe was thicker or thinner than the others. So I asked the company that made them to reprint them so I should be getting a new set this week
- find a replacement trunk stripe. I should be able to find that locally
- paint and install the new C pillar trims that I bought
- buy and install OEM windshield
- replace rear window with the better condition one I got from Tyler
- grease up the tracks on my power windows as they move pretty slow
- a few paint touch ups
Mechanical:
- install OEM valve cover gaskets
- install new Koni yellows (purchased and in the mail for Christmas)
- install OEM strut mounts (purchased and in the mail for Christmas)
- install OEM ball joints (purchased and in the mail for Christmas)
- install TwosRUs inner/outer tie rods (purchased and in the mail for Christmas)
- install OEM, plugs, cap and rotor
- install new brake pads all around. I was told they were discontinued but on Lithia they showed they had them. I ordered them so see if they show up
- wheel alignment at Dale's
To find:
- OEM supercharged muffler. I may have found one locally. Hopefully it's better than what I have now
- cloth door cards to match the cloth seats
- leather seats to match the leather door cards that are in it now
A few crappy pictures... better ones to come later.
Of course what do I find on ebay in Denmark a few weeks after I get my car back from Wing? An almost complete set of dark silver metallic pinstripes for a white MR2! I snapped them up and will save them for a rainy day.
