Lets see those MK1's

**TheAmazingDave** · 12-09-2007, 12:40 AM

Here's the picture story of my 87 A-dub.

These are from the night I brought her home:

Tore up front lip:

Sideshot:

The next morning:

Straight body, except wrinked passenger door:

Closeup of wrinkled door:

Beautiful, straight quarters:

Here's the parts I scored at Pick-n-Pull to fix her up. I'm not posting pics of all the mods cuz I'm too lazy to dig 'em up, just the parts to fix 'er up. :

Nice and straight passenger door with matching driver door panel:

Center console armrest in good condition:

Black UFO pieces in great condition:

Perfect A-pillar trim:

Miscellaneous pieces:

The final product (all of these pics are before suspension mods, she sits 1.5" lower now.):

K.D. Garage Buddy Club carbon fiber/fiberglass replica lip and Euro front driving lamps/turn signals:

Making her debut at a local MR2 event:

Other Mk1s from the meet:

Ummm I also Have a problem.. My Motor has a miss is.. Not a HUGE one.. just one around 2500rpm and when you back off the gas.. I changed Plugs, maybe leads? Do i need Toyota ones or can i get Aftermaket ones? Any ideas would be great.. Toyota Austraila told me they will be a month from Japan.. So before i do that i need alittle help...

you can get aftermarket lead sets from TopGun leads, any decent auto parts store should be able to get them in for you.
if you want a cheap quick fix, remove the valley cover and go buy a set of generic leads the same length and put them on. (take your leads into the shop with you to match up lengths).

Thanks heaps Mate.. i took it to a shop today.. And he said it was a 'lean Misfire' and yer.. So he said should be all good to fix... Dyno Tune etc.. $100.00 for the first hour and $50.00 every hour after that.. So i figure thats a cheap fix..
