Hey guys
The owner of the Mr2 board Bill Strong just offered me a deal. Which is quite good in my opinion. he lives in charlottesville to
He offered to trade me my turbo engine lid for a black hardtop! 1985 mr2 rolling chasis which has been garage kept for the past 3 years. He says the shell is in good condition considering the age. Being a shell it has no motor/tranny ect. I think this would make a great project for the club if we can find a place for it. I know you can easily swap in a 5sfe and tranny from a camry or a mkII mr2. You can usually pick one up cheap. I know sold my old 5sfe and trans for 50 dollars. 135hp and 145tq in a mki mr2 that weighs less than 2000lbs would make a killer autox car. I don't know if this would qualify for the GRM2007 project or not but it would be a great start.
here is the quote from bill on the MR2OC
"early model 1985.
No motor.
No tranny.
birds nest in interior. can be cleaned out.
Rear firewall has been cut for MK1.5 install.
This was the 2nd MK1.5 built, just never completed 100%.
It has a New York Rebuilt/Salvage Title free of all liens.
VIN - JT2AW15C3F0030428
It is a stripper model. It is pretty complete. Needs front nose as I needed that for another car.
It is black.
Has been in garage for last 3 years.
It will take parts and work to get legal again.
It is either this or I cut the roof off and junk it.
Cost is $100 OBO
I can deliver for $1 a mile per Google maps.
Located in 22922 (Nelson County Virginia)"
He also said that we can raid his parts in his backyard to complete anythign that is broken
"You can also raid the RSm parts bin of anything needed, like headlight pods etc to make the car whole.
Hoods etc.
I also have a 1987 that will be going to the junk yard. It has the top cut off. But still has lots of parts left.
I need to get rid of two cars so I can get a couple of new things per the wife.
Time is important here"
I think this is a great opportunity to make a kick ass car and we should hop on it!
