3 years later, Project '91MR2' is finally done...

Quick summary: It’s been my dream for years now to fully restore my first and original 1991 Toyota MR2 (which I’ve had nearly 10 years now). Car was stripped down to a completely bare metal, all doors/glass/trim/etc. removed, and the car was given a full concours quality paint job. Everything is new. I mean everything. All trim, glass, hardware, you name it. Was in the paint shop for 2 years. I still have not even waxed it yet.

Also, thank you SO much Luke_L, this project could not have been completed without him. Huge thumbs up to a true friend right there…

I’ll create a thread in the build section soon, but I figured I’d throw up a few photos in the meantime.

FYI, just picked up my OEM mirrors today (they were still at the paint shop). They are going on tomorrow.

More to follow, but here’s some shots after a wash today.

Doing all the extra pieces takes it that extra step… :tup:
