My 85 MR2 had the same "pink" paint job when I bought it too. I took some red color back wax to it and it buffed up real nice. Mine has quite a bit more rust than that and way more miles.

Good find. The diamond in the rough. I know you'll have fun with it. There are a few MR2 forums around if you have questions about things. There are some very knowledgable guys around town here. There just isn't a lot of posting going on in the midwest forums though. Not a lot of action going on with them.

Can't wait to see this thing this summer. Well, gotta go get back to work on hunting down my oil leak on mine.

Should be fun! Just add pics and info as the thread progresses, no need to save the first few posts...nobody will go back and look at the beginning once this gets a few pages in anyway :D

Awesome! I love this generation of MR2. Definitely a car I'd like to own some day.

I've got one as well. Very fun to drive. I guess I should make my own project thread as well.

Very nice. I agree with hill, get rid of the hood.

I've also always liked the way these cars looked.

I've always liked these cars. I remember Sport Compact Car built one of these like to 600hp or more.

FWIW for AutoX, your CF hood will put you all the way into the Super Street Modified class where you'd be competing against heavily modified cars on R-Comps. If you put a stocker back on, your higher-than-factory boost will put you in Street Prepared which is a bit more restricted but still very competitive.
