$1,500!  That wasn't bought, that was donated!


 I gather that is a good thing?!?!?!

Most definitely.  As was commented earlier SC's in average to good will normally go for at least double that.  They are rapidly becoming a classic collectable.
 
My advice /suggestion would be to clean it up, refurbish and restore as necessary but keep it as original as possible.  Feel free to call out for help on here - the community is very helpful.

G'day guys
I've decided I am going to move the little rocket on.
Firstly though I will get it up to speed. 
Will bring it down to the nationals and see if anyone is tempted.
By then it will have:
- Fresh coat of paint all over. This includes the original alloys with all scrapes taken out. 
- Interior will be also be top notch with a few dash cracks repairs and all upholstery brought back to new. 
- Won't do bugger all to engine (180k) but is has a new clutch and uses zero oil. 
 
As mentioned prior it is the TRD supercharged variety. 
 
If anyone wants to make me an offer now or when all done please do so. 
 
Cheers

The supercharged variety isn't TRD, it's just another Toyota ;)
Mr Sakurai was probably the most vocal person for the supercharged 4AG, and he was in TRD, so yeh it's just an unofficial thing
 
Unfortunate you are moving on. $1500 is cheaper than I paid for mine, but not by a lot considering mine came with a great respray, engine purred when I bought mine too, but it went downhill from there.
 
Please keep the paint in original colour. The dark blue Mica ones are amongst the best and they shine a LOT better when the paint is fresh, really brings out the depth of the colour that yours might be lacking. See my avatar for example.

Thought it was TRD as it has that marked on the alloys (even the valve caps). Maybe its on the body but I guess not....
 
Yep colour will stay the same. 
 
Once the fix ups are done she'll be the goods. Just no engine mods, that can be new owner...

Nup can't do it. It seems I have grown an attachment for the little thing. 
 
So into the garage she goes......

Yay. I'm really keen to see where you take this project. I am glad you ended up keeping it.
 
Would love to see somemore pics of it when you get a chance.

Will post some pics when I get it back from my mate. 
 
Yeah think I have made a good decision to keep her. Will start the repairs when I get a chance. Two F Trucks to restore first that are taking up valuable garage space.....

Bring it up to the MR2 Trackday in Jan 2014. You can cruise up with Pat.
