I jumped on it without second thought.... for the price I was willing to deal with whatever was needed to get it in nice shape. Carpet holding moisture and making rust in the trunks seems to be the only chassis/body issue that needs fixing (besides the battery acid vapors eating away at the battery tray area). I'll need to get it in the air to 100% know, but from what I can tell and see with it on the ground, the chassis is in near perfect shape otherwise. Did see one of the plastic undertray panels that seemed like it may need some repairs... seems sagging more than it should like maybe cracked/broken at a mounting hole location.

Don't have lots of money to spend on it, so will do what I can that makes the most sense. Right now first priority is getting all rust taken care of, then repairing battery tray area. Then move on to interior/electrical. Finally mechanical/engine work. Eventually would like to go with an ITB setup... keeping the 16Valve motor but adding ITBs with the T3 adapter.

And I just got in the shift knob today I ordered... a Torque Solution Delrin teardrop that I love and have in my Frontier... got the 12x1.25mm threaded version for the MR2...
