"doable" MR2s in the 500-750 range, but there is a hell of a lot of dross so be careful.

We all like a project, its why we are on this site, but theres a project, then theres a money pit that you will just resent, where your line is is down to you as a person and what you enjoy from a car.

Having said that, I'm the muppet that bid on mine on ebay without even seeing it.

I had logic on my side tho, I had a strict max bid in mind, which to me was still inside what I could get for the car if breaking, so way I seen it, if it was a dog I'd just tear it down.

I got lucky, the car isn't without its niggles and is now a year later showing signs of needing the sills done at least on one side, but that doesn't faze me

Totally depends on you and what you are willing to give up time wise, how handy you are, how much of that natural

"fixability" you have, how much you enjoy getting in amongst it.

I'm not sure about the Rev1 to Rev2 suspension changes.

TBH, I think its the kinda thing that your average driver likes to talk about, but will never really be able to tell the difference, on the road.

Makes good forum/pub conversation.

What I would say, is the Rev1 has drastically smaller brakes up front than the Rev2; and rotor diameter factually makes a difference to braking performance, no question.
