After long love affair with MR2's I'm pleased to say I have another one .
Over the years I've had 13 previous to this one , mixture of MK1's MK2 na and a few tubbys .
I haven't owned an MR2 for a good few years now ( I have 3 kids so a Ford C-max is my weapon of choice )
Any way I always keep a look out for any thing cheap on eBay .
This came up in my search the other day and couldn't believe I found a turbo not only for £600 but its in the same village as me and my favourite colour .
I went to have a look tonight and its not too bad .
It was taken off the road just over a year ago due to a leaking water pump and it's never moved since .
The good news is that the shell seems solid , no sill rot and overall I'm hoping it will clean up nice .
I managed to get him down to £450 so I figured it must be worth a shot for that .
Here it is as it stands now , hopefully I'll get her back up to scratch soon .

I can't believe mr2 turbos can be bought for £450 these days. That is just nuts. Congrats + look forward to seeing it restored!

Well the car is back at my house now .
After a year of stood still it took some convincing to free the brakes off !
Wheels are genuine Work items so I'll be refurbishing them and keeping them on .
Things I won't be keeping are the Lexus style lights I found in the boot and the blitz bov.
Looking forward to getting started on it .
I'll get some proper before pics taken tomorrow .
