    In this series, I'm doing a part tutorial, part vlog, part timelapse of my 1989 Toyota mk1 MR2 AW11 restoration.
    I finally bought my dream 80's Japanese spaceship of a car: The AW11 Mk1 MR2. It's definitely a beater, but that's kind of what I wanted. My plan is to take apart the car and clean, rebuild, and customize whatever I feel is needed. By the end I want to make a car that feels truly like my own.
    Work in this video:
    Removing steering wheel
    Mounting battery
    Removing stereo
    Reupholstering sun visors
    Disassembling seats for reupholstering
    Removing speedometer cable
    Cleaning plastic lights
    Removing wheels
    Trying to change headlights

    Hope you all enjoyed this more casual video. I promise I have regular videos coming soon too. They are just wrapping up. For the MR2 I’m thinking of making these into fewer but longer uploads so that I don’t have to flood the channel with lots of small car updates since I work on it so much.

    Dude wtf, channels with 1m+ subs dont have such dedication in their videos. Good luck with the car! Just gained a sub from me.

    I bought an '85 MR2 in '89. I also had to replace the headlight, and it was already rusted in around 1990.

    Hi thanks for this video I’ve had my 87 Toyota mr 2 for about 6-7 years now and I still am working on it lol I need to focus on the carpet inside and needs new tires, rims, battery, shocks, since I haven’t driven it in years 😅hopefully it all comes together it’s gonna be my summer project this year to fix it up

    my eyes twitched and I cried inside when you tore the red seat fabric off.

    Great video man! I just bought an MR2 and found your channel. It's really cool to see the attention you put in the details while working on your car and the video production too.

    Excellent meal choice. Sweet Baby Rays has an exquisite smoky yet savory taste profile.

    My dad had a 1986 4 door corolla. We stopped af the dealership and I was looking at a brand new black MR2 in the lot. At that time it looked very sporty and unusual compared to 95% of the cars in town.

    I know this video is a year old but good work on the car. I am not a MR2 guy but it looks like I am going to be getting one so I have been checking out videos about them and found yours. I am a car guy and have been one for about 45 years but my interest has always been Mopar muscle cars. I am looking forward to getting this car and playing with it. I noticed that you are also in WA state, I am on the west side.
