Yo! Halo434321 With a 1991 White Non-Turbo

halo434321 · 10-02-2009, 10:03 PM

So I am a new owner of a 1991 MR2 and am loving every second of it. This is such a fun car to drive I can't stand it! Unfortunately, this car will be subject to teperature and environmental extremes of temps ranging from the 100's to double digit negatives. With that comes the bad roads and all that good stuff. I am in the Air Force stationed in the Midwestern US. Currently, I have had this car for two weeks and have 95% of the interior ripped out as I am changing it from blue to black. With that, I also have a very extensive 'to do' list and upgrades that are all on the way just for the interior. My plan is to hit the exterior next summer. I drove over 400 miles to get this car and it was worth double the distance and twice the mileage. Currently my clock is at 112,000. Any and all info would be appreciated and I have been ghosting this site for two weeks and just now joined. I plan on keeping this car for a very very long time. I am not into tearing it up on the road so much as I am into preservation although autox has crossed my mind a few times so....... Let's go!

Thanks GrandpaGofast. I am currently doing a complete interior overhaul and it is very interesting. A learning experience but nothing I cannot handle so far. I have updates as to what I am doing on the general MR2 post blog under 1991 MR2 Interior Overhaul. This thing is going to be on the road for a very long time!

I just got mine a few months ago. I aim to keep it going until my clutch foot falls off.

Congratulations on your 2, and welcome!

Congrats and welcome to the club! There is a lot of info on here, but if there is something you can't find or just want to discuss, post a thread, we are just a bunch of chatty cathys.
