- In this video we tackle the one big job on this beautiful 1992 Toyota Mr2 Mk2 G-Limited, the fuel pump. Then it gets some well needed interior work, some new brakes and I make a solid start on that bodywork.

I don’t know why but the casual swearing adds humour, reminds me of me when I do anything on cars. 😂
I can’t work on cars without the swears.
The condition of that underneath is just ridiculous. What a find
You're a character. Don't change. It's refreshing to hear someone talk like normal people when we work on cars lol.
She looks great.
Mate - I just want you to know your hair is magnificent and the folks over at Pantene will surely be in touch soon.
Love the car.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never clicked sooo quick
My Friday just got a load better.Bloody love this Chanel.
language isn't an issue, keeps you down to earth like many of us viewers, appreciate the comment tho, stay as you are.
Hey Ben,the Merc at the end of the video maybe Alex from Legit street cars could help? He was a Merc master tech,you could give him a shout? Love the content btw and don't worry about the swearing we all do when working on cars! Keep it up mate!
Jonny smith 😅 u r funner and more hard working keep it up fella
😂😂
Yeah!...get that paint job, such a sporty classic looking car. Just the right amount of round and angle. Fuel pump was epic and have to agree...you wouldn't want to attempt it on the ground.Get a swear jar...ask the viewers to match the monthly amount...😂😂😂...you wouldn't have to repair cars...😂😂. Classic swearing phrases too for real..👍. That said , a remapp or fine tune would give this a bit more oomph!
Nice work man👍
Can't seem to get to your merch' through the link at the minute. Could you post another link please?
Brilliant.
Haha a swear jar is a good idea! Thanks for the heads up with the link aswell they've just changed websites and are still getting the merch sorted, caps and more sizes of t shirts etc should be back on tomorrow 👍👍 link is now fixed
Just laughed like a drain. Paused this to watch a bit of dragons den, and came back to it only to hear "hands like I've been tossing off a camel" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 fab. Well done on this mate. Can't wait to see the car finished, and your big cheesy when it's all done. 👍👍👍
🤣🤣🤣 I wasn't sure whether I should leave that in or not
@@tastyclassics Course you should have.
@@tastyclassics Standard operating procedure I'd say 👍
Polishing the dull paint makes always good content. First it sounded like it was running with 3 cylinders but later in the video it sounded totally healthy. Maybe it fixed itself.
Bit of an Italian tune/Scouse service and she came right round!
On a budget, I like to squirt a few drips of fairy over a bad seat and then simply jet wash it in/off outside. Works a treat and doesn't cost a penny.
Then soak with fabric shampoo-filled water and then rinse under the shower, vac semi dry and then repeat rinse under shower and vac again. That usually brings them back to mint.
Trying to work in the office listening to this - and got the giggles when Ben said "Bulbous Prick" - better stop before I get found out
I always loved that poor man's ferrari as a kid it's still my favourite old car.
Just had to drop the tank on my mk3 MR2 to replace the handbrake cables. Thankfully my underbody is as just as rust free and all the bolts came undone without any issues 🎉. Love your videos 👍🏻

Torque settings for these is as tight as you can until you smash your knuckles pmsl 😂😂 love watching your content, great stuff.
Brilliant once again. One of the best channels out there. Appreciate all your time and effort involved in bringing these episodes to us all.
Excellent. I’ve cancelled my night out as was going to Manchester with my friends but seeing on Facebook yesterday you were posting this video, you win every time. I’m deadly serious too you’re so addictive ✌️✌️✌️✌️
Love it mate I have aswell haha enjoying my night off! Thanks Lee 👍👍👍
@@tastyclassics you’ve definitely no idea just how good you are at content creating, engineering, entertaining and being genuinely one of the nicest most funny people I’ve ever come across in my 45 years. I have to visit you one day it’s definitely on my bucket list. Great work on the MR2 as well. 👍👍
The English Vice Grip Garage , or is VGG the American Tasty Classics . . .??🤔😉
Save the money.. stay in… have a few beers, get a carry out and watch some tasty classics!!!!
@@jamieelsayed608 yeah I did that, watched the MR2 man in action but now it’s finished I’m having serious separation anxiety issues. The guy is a serious legend man just oozes with immense talent. 🙏🙏
Continuing going through your backlog of videos after finding your channel loving this series as much as the rest 😁
Get yourself a cordless ratchet mate. Absolute game changer!
Got snapp off version on ebay for £34 2 batteries it's awesome
@@thomasnorth5680 yeah I just got a cheap sealey one off Amazon. Great thing. I’ll chop it in for a better brand as this is the second one I’ve had, first one died!
I've got one to be fair but I was enjoying myself 🤣 and didn't want to snap any more bolts! I used one to put them all back in, Milwaukee/Makita/DeWalt/Kielder are my go to's
That turned out really well. I really enjoyed watching this. Whats next?
Damn shes come around well eh. Watching that whilst eating white chocolate suggestives was some of the best 90 mins ive had whilst on a nightshift.
Got a lot of time for chocolate suggestives 😅😅👍
Awesome content as always Ben. Always look forward to your next episode! Mister 2 is really starting to come around...starting to look really nice. Can't believe how well that seat and the paint cleaned up.
Still got the other side to do but I'll definitely be able to live with it for a bit I think!
I'd like to see you work on the obscure British cars, like Humber, Hillman, Singer, Riley and so forth.
I'd absolutely love to and certainly will in the future
I'm not usually a massive japanese car fan, but this is a beaut! The styling on these is just right, no strange curves and lines... Look forward to next episode!
Holy feck! She looks amazing now........ I mean, it's gunna go back pink quicker than an illegal gets a house, but still she's a beauty.
Well done.❤
Cool Car! Fun videos!
Bloody brilliant Ben 😊
Love your show and your car selection
This dude is ace, i warch him.often. UKs own Vice Grip Garage with british humour. Help this guy grow people, he is entertaining.
Impossible job without a ramp.
PB Blaster the penetration juice of choice for me. 10/10
Loved this video. That fuel pump was such a pig but your happy face when it started was worth it!
I cannot believe how much shine you polished into that car, unbelievable! Such a lot of work and it's coming along amazing, great video.
Great car had 1 for yrs here in Ireland great to see it looks great 👍👍👍👍👍👍
I feel your pain with the calipers, the click as the "shield " hits the floor :)
Again, great content and funny bits included, that headrest, 😂😂😂😂
You should be very proud of all your cars. What an incredible day job you are living the dream 👍
You know a car is small when you kneel beside it and you are still a foot taller than the car. Cool car. Always liked these cars.
You're a gem in youtube. I imagine that heelsvsbabyface + cars = you.
This car is so good underneath, never judge a book by the cover I suppose. Thanks for more great content Ben.
Don't worry about the swareing it makes it much more real we all do it Ben great channel and videos keep going fella 👍
It's like a different car, really enjoying the transformation.
Blimey that MR2 has come up a treat!! Oh no save the W140 Mercedes if it’s in great condition. That blue looks really nice
Why does the shifter look like a big toe haha
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks MOT's are more about convincing the tester your car isnt a piece of shit, than just adhering to the rules. Enjoying this, anything getting restored like this is right up my street.
Great stuff,can’t wait for next in stalmant😁😁😁🤣🤣👏👏👏👏
Not that much of a rust protection underneath it. Thats awsome car to survive still 🌹👌Great of you to save it
I think eventually some sort of clear coating underneath would be nice but I'll just try and keep it clean and inside!
Howdy from Kingsport TN. I had a mr3 in my younger days and I loved it. Very fun cars. Keep the videos coming love watching them.
This is one of those cases where literally all she needed was a fuel pump to get it running again. Of course replacing the fuel pump is a right bloody bugger of a task. Sounded rough at first but that sorted out later. Jammer!
To use the language of your people, this is bloody brilliant mate! Obviously you’re not an MR2 specialist, but your general knowledge of automotive principles and a right willing approach to the task carries you through. Great to see.
And yes, cars mysteriously respond to attention. Wonderful, that.
Lanoguard underneath the MR2? It's in lovely condition!
Mint mate 👊 been keepin an eye out for next part. I think she’s gunna be a gem that
Amazing work, great video!
Watched part 2 whilst wearing my new 3xl Tasty Classics T shirt which I am delighted to say is 'roomy' even on my 18 stone frame. Best of luck with part 3...Carry on Swearing 😂😂😂
What a car and a joy to watch and the polish at the end was the icing on the Japanese cake!
LIke watching your restore vids,keep em coming
Hay I am starting to think your a better car repairer / bodger then you was a sheep farmer 👩🌾 keep it up farmer 🚜💈🐮🐄🐑🐏
another cracking episode. and the swearing don't bother me.😀
Wow, just wow as usual brilliant content, and brilliant soundtrack
She cleaned up good like Ron Burgundy!!!!!! LOL. Wow, just amazing how the fuel system, the fuel injection system, and the brakes came back to life!!! Also as an added bonus the wipers work!!!! For the paint being neglected that long it came back around really quite good actually!! Well done!!!
Bro your videos are sick, please keep them coming
love your videos always make me laugh 😂 brilliant mechanic 👍
31:13 that wire is meant to be bolted on to the top of the engine lid, it should have a sensor plugged in to it which I think controls either the air intake or the cooling fan - I can’t seem to find a definitive answer, but it is best if it’s sorted. Google-fu is your friend. Nice to see one of these being rescued, I had a ‘92 UK GTi-16 in blue about 15 years ago and it was incredible fun. Great videos my man!
Yes, episode 2 and great job😍👏
Owned 2 of these, 1 was pretty mint a moon roof GTI-16 which I still cry about. The other was a shed and fully restored it. Gave me grey hairs! You’re doing a great job. Good thing about the G Limited is they all came from Japan so rust not such a problem, depending on when imported. Nice car!
Thing about stuck bolts is, an impact driver is actually a better bet as they're banging on the bolt to get it to break its sticktion, whereas man-handling them will twist them and ultimately snap them, though in either case if the bolt is knackered, or it's steel in aluminium and it's all joined like a vulcan mind meld, it'll break anyway, cos sod's law... :P
Agreed
That’s coming up really well.should bd a great car 😊
What a lovely fellah. Its obvious innit! Love the MR2. Always fancied one.. But 4 seats always won out. (Nearest was an RX-8 which I really liked and it had 4 seats).
Best channel on CZcams,well done Ben.
G'morning Ben ☕☕ 🤠 . Smashing job on the MR2, I'm really liking it. On the flip side of that coin I'm still trying to get over y'all having the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car 🤣🤣. Here in my neck of the woods the only people or Vehicles you see with destroying will on the right-hand side are the Japanese and Euro Imports but those are few and far between. The one exception to that are all the right hand Drive vehicles used by the post office for all the postman to drive 🙃🙃🙃
Great job, esp on the body work 👍
Take this to the ring, you know you want to
LOOKS GREAT 👍 👌
Wot u done with that paint job amazing keep doing your thing Ben loving it God bless
Good choice of country rock my man
Looking great Ben, the car buffed up all right too, ha!
So let’s see, Ford pickup, Range Rover, Mini, Panhard, disassembled Morris and now an MR2 as a daily? I think you need a bigger garage (That isn’t flammable).
Sat by a pool in Catalonia with a beer watching Ben👍 does life get any better 😎
Another awesome episode! Really enjoy watching you and your resurrections. Keep up the great work!! 👍
Very nice car little bit jealous. amazing condition for what it's been through! in all when finished it should be brilliant!! I think it should be a keeper,
Your energy and joyful enthusiasm are a proper tonic, great video as ever. Good luck with the next phase.
Just found your channel with the last video on the MR 2 😂. Doing a great job and the condition of it is something quite rare for these.
I myself found a pretty rare find in great condition in the form of a Chrysler Crossfire, with only 45k miles on the clock. Sailed through an MOT and I love driving it every day. Hope you can say the same with this.
Another great video Ben. Keep them coming
Smashed it again Ben, another brilliant video. Keep em coming.
Wow that cleaned up well. Great cars these mr2 love em
I was skeptical that the buffing would work. It turned out great!
Great video man! can't wait for the next one
Great vid love this channel 🤙🏻
Great to watch
What a save of a legendary car Ben !! Well done can’t wait to see what else you do to it
Fantastic job, looks great
Right when you said 'Bulbous P***k' my other half walked in and asked what I was watching, and I said I'm watching a ginger bloke get his tank out. She walked straight out again. I love Japanese motors build quality that means even after all that time it fires up, and idles. First time for a very long time.
Fantastic video Ben another great video, the car is coming back to life
I love detailing dull paintwork back into life, great sense of satisfaction I shared with you there. Well done great video, shame it's not yours👍
Love this!!! Well done 👍
When I used to do up older stuff, I used to take the seats apart and remove the covers. Then chuck em in the washing machine on a cold wash. It was a bit of a ball ache to do, but they would come up like new. Keep up the the good work 😀
Thanks Ben for a fantastic episode, look forward to the next one !!!!😊😊😊😊
That tub u put coolant in is an overflow
You’re doing a great job on that Ben. Looking good, can’t wait for the next instalment 👍
Top video as normal Ben keep up the good work 👏 🙌 👍
Your vids are a proper watch, brilliant, Ben 👌
Considering what it started like you’ve done an amazing job so far
