    Hey guys check this out guys i bought this about a week ago.

    -1988
    -Supercharged :rocks:
    -Toyota Mr2

    This is the dream barn find everyone would want!!!!

    Here are a few pics of the car as i found it just 5 miles from my house!!!!

    I had no idea this guy had it!!!!

    It turns out it overheated once (without blowing head gasket) and the guy parked it and let it sit for over a year and when he tried to turn it on it wouldnt turn over and then he gave me a ring and said he wanted to get rid of it!!!!! :eek:hsnap:

    Can you guess how much i got it for???

    thanks guys for all the positive feedback!!! i actually read the thread on your ride (nachtmensch) right after i got it and i started taking pics of it. looks like we are at about the same page. i also owned a 240 and several other different cars. i got the car for $300 hahaha. ill keep you guys posted. this project will move along quite fast. i already got a new battery, new fuses to replace the blown ones, tires, alignment, brakes, oil change, denso spark plugs, toyota wires, cap, rotor, and the dreaded supercharger oil that was $53 for just 50ml. WTF!!!!! i was pretty pissed. oh well, other than that i primered my hood last night in just 3 hours!! my record time for a hood. it also had two dents that i took out. ill post new pics when i get home later on tonight. later

    :woot:

    the hood actually took only about 3 hours since i started. bbbuuuuutttt...... the trunk was a huge bitch believe it or not. im still not done with it yet. it turns out after i primered it and got back to it the next day the primer bubbled really bad on the trunk. still dont know why. either the surface was contaminated (even though i made sure to clean it with dx330) or it was too cold for the primer. so after it dried i sanded everything down and the same fucken thing happened:chair: :chair: :chair: :chair: .
    FFFUUUUCCCCKKKK!!!!!!
    I WILL TRY IT AGAIN TOMMORROW:rocks:
    LATER

    Hood is Trunk...

    It looks good by the Pic. Maybe the Temp wasnt Right for Paint... Try using a Space Heater in the Garage...:poke:

    yeah the only thing is that space heaters take alot of power so the energy bill will be much higher. plus the garage is pretty big. i would have to have the heater going for over a day just to bring the temp up. :baby:
    i think im just going to go to home depot and see how much the heaters with the propane tank will be. they heat up fast.:rocks:
    and fast is my middle name :roflmao:
    haha jk i havent had many fast cars. just cars that can handle like a mother
    thats what its all about:rocks:
    plus the pony will be the one that goes fast in a straight line. not much else:eek:hsnap:
    better get back to work before someone sees me.:googly:
