Well I ended up buying a F350 to tow the race car around. Picked it up pretty cheap, but needed a little work so thats been taking a lot of my spare time.




 
Got a disk brake front end for it


 
And had to do the interior



 
It's getting put on the club permit so only cost about $140 a year to drive for 90 days. I had it inspected today by someone through the HQ club so should be able to get to Vic roads next week for the plates
 
Im hoping to be able to start work in about a month on the MR2. Still think I will put the spare engine back in but are pretty keen to put the 2.2 back in.

Nice resto on the interior man.
Did you end up fixing the 2.2, if so then put that back in why wait.

thats some nice work on the F.

 I like the old Ford too. We used the same model for shooting in the 80's.

I havent done much to the 2.2. It still needs a lot of sanding, ceramic coating, more AN fittings, E85 fuel pump/lines, The Gen3 box is pieces for a rebuild/ fit the Quaife. So just comes down to $$$$.
Ive thought about putting it back in as it is but know I wont be happy.
At least with the spare engine in Ill be able to drive the thing. I have to put a fuel pump back in and I think the only thing im missing is a starter (Other one is pulled apart for the coating) It will be a bit of a down grade in power as it will be stock as a rock Gen3 apart from the cat back exhaust. Just like when I brought it.

Hehe I saw this truck in person, well done on the resto, can you work on my car too lol?
As much as I love built motors I think there comes to a point where too much time is spent in the workshop instead of driving (in my exp too) but that being said when the project is finish it will be berry nice.

I still havent done anything to the MR2, occasionally lift the cover just to have a look.
 
Due to some battle damage I was forced to do some repairs to the HQ, so decided to do a complete change. I had been looking at all the cars that have been getting vinyl wrapped and decided to give it a go.
 

wow thats looking schmik, didnt know you can ge them in chrome..looks quite nice man.

Well some work has been done on the MR2 now.
After a bit of prompting from kameleon Ive decided to just put the stroker back in and not be to worried about the looks too much.
So far Ive only put the dissy, starter and alternator back together. It had been a almost 2 years since I pulled it apart so would have been nice if I took some pics to help.
 
Next thing is to order a lot of gearbox pieces so I can put it together with the quaife. pretty sure I still have a list of what I was going to order.
The tank is also still out of the car so need to get a pump and put that back in. Pretty sure I will be going a Walbro 400 and just leave it at what ever power that can handle on E85
 
After a couple of years Im actually a bit excited about working on it again
 

Good to see you're still at it with the MR2. Hope to see pics that it's back on the tarmac shortlty.
