Working on and removing the engine from a MR2 Mk1 can be a real drag so the last time I needed to remove the engine from a Mk1 I came up with this modification! It certainly made getting the engine out with limited tools easier.
The scissor jack that is visible next to the two bricks was my main vehicle lifting tool!
I have owned seven Mk1 Mr2s and this one was the most rotten I had ever seen! The underside was crumblier than a packet of walkers crisps and the wheel arches were made from solid filler.
On the positive side I managed to salvage the engine and loads of other useful parts that will keep other Mk1s going.
