Would love to see a full restoration on this. What a car.
Or a full mod
It makes financial sense.the price on these are skyrocketing all over the world
On its way 💪
You should go the distance with this one. Keep it for yourself. For real 👍
I would keep that car,it’s a classic!!.what you should do is have a raffle,I would slip you a Mickey and I’m the winner.honestly though,your very lucky to have that car,good luck mate😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
Edit - took me roughly 7 hours to do the fuel pump on this car with filming which is all in the next episode! I am starting to really like the wheels that are on the car aswell i dont know what you think?
Don't touch the paintwork but get it mechanically sound and go to the nurbergring to shame someone driving s 30k car
And can I have some cable ties too 😊
one more for cable ties
Put slicks on the wheels that are on it for your track days, standard wheels for shows in my opinion pal
I'll save you all some cable ties but I'm having the black ones 😂
What an absolute beauty of a car. MR2 Cable Tie Edition.
🤣
Well, you say they rust, but really they’re not bad. In the 1970s, when Toyota first appeared on the UK/Irish scene, the new Corollas were leaving flakes of rust on the showroom floors.
But the Japanese are not stupid. They listened and took on board the only real problem we had with their super luxuriously appointed budget cars.
Within a few years, they got to grips with moisture traps and even did a bit of corrosion protection and, it quickly became rare to see a Japanese colander on the roads. Even the scrapyards were populated by mechanical/electrical failures, due to maintenance issues, rather than dissolving in the rain.
I’m hopeful for the floor of my freebie Yaris, despite being full of water and alien life forms, since January!
Hi i am from Ireland and i live on a beef farm and i like your CZcams videos 🇮🇪🐂🇮🇪🚜
Original wheels are better in my opinion. A great project for you there hopefully. Looks like a rare particular model
Brilliant episode, nice solid car, shows the value of jdm imports that havent been dragged through countless UK winters on salt laden roads. This car will be a cracker
Regarding the windscreen. Make sure when you order the replacement it is bronze colour.
Imports are bronze, so if you fit the UK green glass it will look wrong.
Also make sure a correct trim is used. A lot of people fit a universal trim which looks wrong.
Shame I'm not closer I'd live to come over and fit a screen for you. Dust off the tools as it's been a fair few years since I was in the trade now.
This is my favorite Chanel now. I love this guy.I am certified mechanic and I love how he just gets stuck in and eventually sorts it.A refreshing change from the soft woke and week young apprentices of today,but why the helldo Poms carry a mug of tea who the hell does that?😊
Not gonna lie ... that sushi overlay was hilarious. Great project car !
I had fun with that 😅🤣
What a great car, loads of potential. It’s worthy of a full restoration. That red would pop with a fresh coat. As a detailing addict, I can’t wait to see the interior scrubbed up! Keep the episodes coming.
really nice tidy car. it deserves more loving for sure. I bet it was one heck of a cool car back in the day. gotta be worth money now or getting more desirable as a classic
The car is in fantastic condition, it really deserves some time spent on it to give it a new lease on life, go on, you know you want to.
As a previous owner of a mark 2 MR2 I enjoyed this video 🙂. You are ver lucky with the lack of rust, they rust for fun. Also mine used to eat alternators as the water would drop into it from the deck.
bit of JDM with tonights dinner , Get in 💪
As soon as I saw zero rust around the outer rear arch I knew it was a solid car. Owned and worked on a fair few of these
My favourite episode so far... mostly as the second car I ever bought was practically the same. A Japanese import MR2 SW20, G-Limited, but in black, no targa roof and with a manual box. It was my first sports model, and I loved it... until on one sad journey it ate ALL of its oil and the engine big end failed. So off to the great race track in the sky it went...
Gone, but not forgotten!
It just goes to show how good a scruffy looking car can be under the surface .
Managed to watch the entire episode at work tonight 😂.
Im looking forward to the next one .
red with a blue interior, my spidey senses are tingling like church bells 😂
Loving the content! Every episode just seems to get better. The Panhard series was my fave but looks like it may be replaced by this stonking MR2. A car that decent just deserves to be reborn. Looking forward to how it turns out. Keep it up Ben 👌
Thanks mate!
The older I get, the more interested in am in cars I didn't find interesting when they were released. I think the joy of driving has overcome me Vs the desire for power and status!
Amazing channel Ben, the only to make me LOL.
I'm so happy to see this come back to life hopefully painted the whole lot and you keep and drive it so awesome
That’s seriously tidy underneath you’ve done well sir can’t wait for the next MR2 revival 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
IMO this was the best looking MR2 made. I will admit I was blown away buy the electric folding mirrors. I didn't know that was a thing back then! As Others have stated this care deserves a full Resto!
Great score on this little baby, good job getting her running, another great vid. Tks
Big flaw is the rainwater drips through the engine cover and stuffs up the alternator bearings
Great episode Ben, that’s got to be a keeper when finished. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Great stuff Ben, thanks for sharing.
100%guessed mr2 when I seen photo earlier!! Ben u the man 🎉
Wow what a beauty of a classic JDM MR2 well done can't wait for the next video on this beauty
My late dad had one of these back in the day, reg was extremely similar to yours J735 HTY. Was a lovely black UK example in around 2000. I was around 13 at the time and remember the immense sound of the K and N filter it had on. Always had a soft spot for them.
Legend mate, another top video, brings back memories of my MR2 turbo MK2 I had a lot of years ago. Keep up the good work 👍
This is the best end of life car ever, superb condition both bodily and underneath is fantastic. Love all your videos, great project car cannot wait for next episode
As soon as I saw the puddle I knew the floor pan was fine.
well done getting it running mate!
What a great car, loads of potential. It’s worthy of a full restoration. That red would pop with a fresh coat
Great find Ben! You deserve a solid motor after the Pan handle! I remember my mate had red MR2 exactly the same in the late 90s. Went with him one year from Peterborough to a MAX Power live show in Birmingham around 1999. Great fun!
The dandism is real! Love to see this beauty fully restored and getting a second lease on life!
Ya a jammy sod, that mr2 is begging to be restored, an thrashed round the nurburgring, I look forward to seeing this car complete, bro
Brilliant as always Ben, another classic saved. Would love to see you rag this one around the track.
Edge of my seat, watching the carpet reveal.
The only Toyota I’ve ever actually owned, myself, is doing a similar garden pond impression and I will have the same smelly exploration to do, whenever I’m fit enough.
Great project looking forward to the next video 👍
I’m impressed it finally ran with only 3 cylinders tops . A good electrical service should have it running on 4 again. Plugs,leads, dizzy cap clean up- No nasty mechanical sounds which is a bonus.
Yaaaahhhh!!! A fixer-upper with no rust!!!!! Woooo Hoooooo!!!! The MR2 is actually quite the mid engine sports car that's way more reliable than a Ferrari !!! I'm surprised there is no fuel pump/sender access panel inside the cockpit?! Say what? LOL. Having the lift will make the fuel tank removal so much easier in time and saving your back!! You found a really good one to repair and sort out!!! You should invite the Top Gear trio over for a Tasty Classic Special broadcast!!! Sara N Tuned a youtuber in the States has repaired and fixed an MR2 also, same year and body style -- not sure on the engine. If you need some assistance contact her.
I worked for Toyota when this car was new in the uk - great car and hope all goes well with it!
I had this exact car (rev 1 G-limited) in black in my early 20s & absolutely loved it!...I have a video of clocking the speedo on the M1 from London back to MK early one Monday morning, obviously this was before the overhead speed cameras😂😂😂...much respect from zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Really looking forward to the restoration of this car👍 very cool back in the day being fairly rot free huge bonus love your video content so much humour 🤣
Sarah-n-tuned did her own MR2 rebuild, good watch just to see what it can really be.
Well worth watching
Ah, England nature, where the moss will keep car together. Lovely!
Lovely wee car,,i like the black wheels thats on it,,shame there is no centre caps on them,,but what a brilliant find,,could this one be a keeper,,look forward to the next episode on it,,
Never saw a g-limited edition. I own a 1990 mr2 sw20. I was amazed by your electric folding mirrors, never seen that on a MR2. Deserves a full restoration. Succes!
Nice job keep up the great work 👍
really nice tidy car make it look like new
I will do my best 💪
Japanese sports cars and cable ties go together like British sports cars flat caps. My 200sx and Subaru's had many many tempermanent cable tie fixes.
Great car, great video
Love the long format, my favourite channel on you CZcams... Thanks for the content mate 👍
This was epic! I enjoyed watching how mint the underside of her was 👌🏻
Absolute comedy gold! Loved every minute,what an entertaining guy.
Love to see the work on this MR2!
What an awesome find! That is in amazing condition for an mr2. Well worth making it a mint car as your going to get your money back. I've been watching them for the last year and they are booming in value. maybe some snails for the extra fun?? Awesome content always on your channel.
That looks like it's going to make a lovely car, wouldn't have minded something like this when I was younger, now I've grown to love my creature comforts, especially heated seats, a god send when you have a bad back. - Jess
Love this channel great content every episode 😊
Plenty of potential. No smoke at all on start up .... mint loose the black rims.
You had me at MR2. Love these cars and have owned a few, really need another. Can't wait for the next video.
Now that’s a corker of a car!! Another fabulous episode Ben…..I also like the black wheels! Roll on the next episode.
Content is class love every car always interesting MK2 deserves the love
All things considered tge MR2 is in fantastic condition.
It deserves full restoration.
However I fined the OEM/stock wheels boring, but some people like everything completely factory.
Love it, have always dreamt of owning one of these. Looking forward to part 2.
Brilliant car. I had a turbo mr2 it tried killing me every time I took it out. It went sideways a lot lol😂😂😂
Looking forward to seeing this series now. When I was a kid I used to see 1 going about town and since then I’ve always wanted 1. A few times I’ve had the opportunity but be it finances, storage or having a family, it’s just never been the right time. 1 day I will own 1 but until then I’ll just admire them from a distance 😂😂
I feel the Dandism! lol.. Really awesome revival. I love your outlook on approaching big projects. Keep up the great work!
MR2 is a rare car in Japan.
It will not be possible to make a mid-ship car in the future at a price like MR2.
I hope the restoration will be successful.
from Japan
Looks like a rev 1 or 2, fantastic project. We have a 1996 rev 3 and they are superb cars, they can be a real pain if not set up properly - especially the cooling system. Look forward to seeing more.
What a great find Ben, really spurs you on when it's this good. Looking forward to the next installment. Brilliant videos as always thanks
Great video Ben.
Only today myself and my wife went to Beeston Castle, found out that we were only around 8 miles from your lock up.
Fantastic. Classic motor and props to you for putting so much into this channel, I've learned loads and I want to start tinkering myself 😅
Just loosen the bolts for the water pipes and the tank will drop though , sensor is connected to the engine temp lid sensor , good luck on the build
New subscriber from NZ. Found this channel by scrolling. Love the MR2. She's a beauty!
Awesome content.
There’s an mr2 just around the corner from me I see it daily that’s been sat for years
I can relate to your excitement over the mr2 firing up and running. I was the same way when I got my 86 z28 camaro to run for the first time.
Always loved the look of these and used to se them everywhere. I can't remember the last time I seen one in the wild
Finally an MR2 😜😍😍 this has to be your next nurburgring car great video as always 👌👌
I learnt the other day when you have not opened the window on a car and it's been sitting outside for six years! Don't forget to get the outside seal off the glass with a jet wash or a knife so it doesn't destroy the window regulator. Asian Warner are some of the best gearboxes they copied the American boxs then improved them generation by generation. Fitted in Volvo, Alfa, vauxhall, Saab, Renault, Suzuki.
A clay bar and 2 stage machine polish and a wax would bring back 80 percent of that paintwork back even some of the more heavy bleached areas . That would probably do and it would look very respectable .. but seeing how clean it is .. I think a respray with its original colour would do it justice 👌
Wicked choice of car mate. Loved these growing up
Hi Ben, good grief. I really thought for minute you were gonna blow a hernia .
Ita shame it sat for do long but from what I've seen so far , you're more than capable of sorting this baby out.
Big thumbs up from me. 👍
Can’t wait to see more of this car getting the tasty treatment 😋
Love your channel, you’er doing an amazing job of it , really entertaining and fun to watch thank you & keep up the great work 👍🏼
Wow what a car. Love the old mr2. Would love to see a proper series on this , maybe full resto?
Just one negative thing. Was watching with headphones that high pitch beep was ear destroying. Trust me that’s a small point. Absolutely loved the vid.
Just recently been told about your channel and love the content.
I'm not mechanically minded but have always been interested in cars.. this has to be one of the most interesting ones, so far. We'll worth a second chance, It has the potential to be a proper tasty classic.
Great car ! and great video too !
...Oh you're so jammy finding all those cable ties !... I'm always undoing those with a needle in order to save and reuse them ! lol
The car I always wanted growing up. Beautiful machine. A piece of art.
Pink MR2 very tasty. Always loved the MR2 definitely one of the best sports cars of the 80+90s, nice one Ben.
One of the cleanest MR2s I've ever seen - deserves a full restoration and manual swap
Just found the channel and really enjoyed this video .
Looking forward to seeing more mate
I love this channel, it's like a uk version of VGG and deserves far more subscribers than it has.
The intro is worth a thumbs up alone😊
Great episode, yet again. Full resto? I think so! Good luck and looking forward to following the whole story.
I might have missed a bit of the video (watching while working), but the random bit on the front left corner is for a parking wand to show the driver where the front corner is.
Still loving it. Binging all the episodes
What a great lil car project!!!!! You guys are so lucky over there ... JDM has the steering wheel on the correct side for you chaps!!!! ;)
