So what's the deal, are MKII's are to get by at junk yards?

If so, then I guess I'm going all the way to Mitchell Island to grab a few parts today or Monday, if anybody else wants to come that would be cool!

Yes, they are very few and far between, that's why this auto wrecker's thread was created. If there's one there and you don't want to buy new OEM, I'd get down there pretty fast before it's raped.

Anybody go down and have a look at this car? I haven't been since I snapped that picture, just wondering if anyone has taken parts from it.

Not any MR2's but lots of newer stock at pickapart.

Looks like a good turnover since the last time i was there.
Plus there was some space cleared out for new stock.

Found this while browsing craigslist like I do all the time, just in case there are a few parts around.

Might be worth going to see, looks like some good parts on it you can salvage.

Seems to be a JDM 92T at Ralph's on Mitchell Island.

Those stock 93 wheels look plastidipped, so you can nab those and peel it off if you don't like it. Wonder if they want the engine...

Call me a desperate guy who likes to save MR2s, but in my opinion that whole car can be saved depending on what the damage is like behind the bumper! :P

OK, you're desperate! :P

Looks to me like it's been neglected in more ways than just that accident, probably salvageable but expensive overall to restore. Don't see the Toblerone side markers, aren't the JDMs supposed to have that? Nice of them to have pics though.

Not all JDM's got the toblerones. It might have been part of a trim level or something, but I've seen more than a few of each.

The trunk lid seems ok too.. If it's not too badly damaged someone should pick it up since it looks like all the holes have been welded. Or else I will >:]
