Atropine's AW-11 Build

As many of you know...I was recently given the green light by the wife to buy another Sports Car.

I struggled with my choice...at first it was a Cayman S, then a Lotus Exige S.

After both of those deals fell through, I started to look for a Supercharged MR2 on a whim.

You see, I have owned 2 AW-11 MR2s in the past and I lament ever getting rid of them.

Well, I found what I think to be a pretty good platform MR2 to build off of.

It is a Supercharged 1989 AW-11.

2 Owner car...first owner owned it for about 6 months...the second owner has owned it the last 25 years.

I plan on doing a mild "build" on it.

The start of this will be me getting it into good/better working order.

I will try to include PICS and stuff like that.

I know a lot of people don't like seeing "Car Washes" in build threads...but this car really needed some TLC.

If you like what was done and want to know how I did it, just reply in this thread and I will reply.

OK...here are some Pictures.

PLANS:

I will first get it clean and more mechanically sound. Hoping to learn how to do more stuff to the car myself.

I will do upgrades once the weather changes to cold and rainy...
