  • Apologize for saying “pretty much” didn’t realized it until it’s uploaded. Not good with editing nor have time.
    These are the things that I look for when I go buy my Mr2s. 95% of my cars were non runners and is what I prefer when buying one. That way I can restore it the way I want.
    I’m no expert Mechanic / body man nor am I trying to be one. I just do this for fun and as a hobby. Most of these cars are sunny SoCal Cali cars.

    On a T-bar I'd recommend checking for rust underneath the T-top seal if the owner lets you.

    Why have I completely watched this? I already own an MR2 lol. Kinda interesting to see how the US spec does have some tiny differences to the European (and Japanese) cars.
    Nice dual tone interior too. I think it fits well with the outside color.
