My first car, an '86 Toyota MR2, in all its current glory:

I miss driving it; hopefully I will get to do that this summer again. It's been almost two years thanks to me procrastinating on working on it.

My wife's car, an '84 VW Rabbit:

She's a little worse for the wear nowadays, but hopefully the MR2 will be drivable soon and I can take some time to patch her up right.

I only have pictures of the beater truck ('91 F150) doing truck things:

And, the latest addition: another damn '86 MR2, this one with a supercharged engine that needs a rebuild. I got it for cheap thinking it'd be a good parts car, then realized it's in really good shape and that I couldn't bring myself to cut it up. So, this one's a long term project, now.

True story - a friend of mine used to have an MR2 and was involved with a local MR2 car club; so he had a bumper sticker on it, which displayed their web address : "mr2.org.nz".

My wife saw it and asked me "Why does he have a bumper sticker that says 'Mister Two Organs' ?"

I love it. :)

Just like I told elizabeth with her current car, you should do a youtube video series based on your build and share it with Hubski. I'd follow the crap out of that.

I'm no good at video, but I'll put together posts with plenty of pictures on stuff that I do in the shop. Expect one soon since one of my cars just failed safety inspection!

Consider yourself followed. :)

Going to the scrap yard tomorrow, I'll film that ;)
