OctaneGuy's New Ride...

Ok, well I know this is the detailing forum..but I'm putting this here so I can show what it looks like after I get it all polished and detailed.

The background story is simple.

My MINI is broken again...I don't have the money to fix it...so it's going to sit for awhile. In the meantime, I picked up a steal on a childhood favorite...a 1988 Toyota MR2. It's a 21 year old car with only 68,000 miles on it. Haha, my MINI is 4 years old (I've owned it for 3 years) and has 102,000 miles on it).

Yes, Yes I know..it's white!! And it's an automatic. But, it's my daily driver and everything is original..the paint is swirled and kinda hazy...but fixable!

These were taken by the shop I purchased it from, that's why it has dealer plates. No it's not the Super Charged one but that was intentional...parts are incredibly hard to find, and even harder for the SC model.

The wheels aren't my first choice...but they were a lot better than the few other MR2's around here, all with 150,000+ miles on them and badly neglected and peeling paint!
