Edit - took me roughly 7 hours to do the fuel pump on this car with filming which is all in the next episode! I am starting to really like the wheels that are on the car aswell i dont know what you think?
Don't touch the paintwork but get it mechanically sound and go to the nurbergring to shame someone driving s 30k car
And can I have some cable ties too 😊
one more for cable ties
Put slicks on the wheels that are on it for your track days, standard wheels for shows in my opinion pal
I'll save you all some cable ties but I'm having the black ones 😂
Would love to see a full restoration on this. What a car.
Or a full mod
It makes financial sense.the price on these are skyrocketing all over the world
On its way 💪
You should go the distance with this one. Keep it for yourself. For real 👍
I would keep that car,it’s a classic!!.what you should do is have a raffle,I would slip you a Mickey and I’m the winner.honestly though,your very lucky to have that car,good luck mate😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
Just loosen the bolts for the water pipes and the tank will drop though , sensor is connected to the engine temp lid sensor , good luck on the build
Not gonna lie ... that sushi overlay was hilarious. Great project car !
I had fun with that 😅🤣
Original wheels are better in my opinion. A great project for you there hopefully. Looks like a rare particular model
Regarding the windscreen. Make sure when you order the replacement it is bronze colour.
Imports are bronze, so if you fit the UK green glass it will look wrong.
Also make sure a correct trim is used. A lot of people fit a universal trim which looks wrong.
Shame I'm not closer I'd live to come over and fit a screen for you. Dust off the tools as it's been a fair few years since I was in the trade now.
My favourite episode so far... mostly as the second car I ever bought was practically the same. A Japanese import MR2 SW20, G-Limited, but in black, no targa roof and with a manual box. It was my first sports model, and I loved it... until on one sad journey it ate ALL of its oil and the engine big end failed. So off to the great race track in the sky it went...
Gone, but not forgotten!
This is the best end of life car ever, superb condition both bodily and underneath is fantastic. Love all your videos, great project car cannot wait for next episode
Never saw a g-limited edition. I own a 1990 mr2 sw20. I was amazed by your electric folding mirrors, never seen that on a MR2. Deserves a full restoration. Succes!
Looking forward to seeing this series now. When I was a kid I used to see 1 going about town and since then I’ve always wanted 1. A few times I’ve had the opportunity but be it finances, storage or having a family, it’s just never been the right time. 1 day I will own 1 but until then I’ll just admire them from a distance 😂😂
This was epic! I enjoyed watching how mint the underside of her was 👌🏻
red with a blue interior, my spidey senses are tingling like church bells 😂
Great video Ben.
Only today myself and my wife went to Beeston Castle, found out that we were only around 8 miles from your lock up.
A clay bar and 2 stage machine polish and a wax would bring back 80 percent of that paintwork back even some of the more heavy bleached areas . That would probably do and it would look very respectable .. but seeing how clean it is .. I think a respray with its original colour would do it justice 👌
Loving the content! Every episode just seems to get better. The Panhard series was my fave but looks like it may be replaced by this stonking MR2. A car that decent just deserves to be reborn. Looking forward to how it turns out. Keep it up Ben 👌
Thanks mate!
As soon as I saw zero rust around the outer rear arch I knew it was a solid car. Owned and worked on a fair few of these
All things considered tge MR2 is in fantastic condition.
It deserves full restoration.
However I fined the OEM/stock wheels boring, but some people like everything completely factory.
Brilliant as always Ben, another classic saved. Would love to see you rag this one around the track.
bit of JDM with tonights dinner , Get in 💪
MR2 is a rare car in Japan.
It will not be possible to make a mid-ship car in the future at a price like MR2.
I hope the restoration will be successful.
from Japan
Looks like a rev 1 or 2, fantastic project. We have a 1996 rev 3 and they are superb cars, they can be a real pain if not set up properly - especially the cooling system. Look forward to seeing more.
Brilliant episode, nice solid car, shows the value of jdm imports that havent been dragged through countless UK winters on salt laden roads. This car will be a cracker
Nice episode.
Suggest. Take the roof pieces out. Windows down. Passenger seat out and dry it all out while other jobs else condensation everywhere.
Hello Mr tasty classic love the Mr2
Just a quick note wheeler dealer's did one one or two years ago or 10
A problem with these car cars
Is the water drips through the vents over the engine and the water drips on to the alternator and fu fu knackers zit
Good luck with new car project
O and your channel is fu fu flipping brilliant keep up the excellent educational videos 😂😮😊
IMO this was the best looking MR2 made. I will admit I was blown away buy the electric folding mirrors. I didn't know that was a thing back then! As Others have stated this care deserves a full Resto!
really nice tidy car. it deserves more loving for sure. I bet it was one heck of a cool car back in the day. gotta be worth money now or getting more desirable as a classic
Content is class love every car always interesting MK2 deserves the love
What an absolute beauty of a car. MR2 Cable Tie Edition.
🤣
I had this exact car (rev 1 G-limited) in black in my early 20s & absolutely loved it!...I have a video of clocking the speedo on the M1 from London back to MK early one Monday morning, obviously this was before the overhead speed cameras😂😂😂...much respect from zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Hi Ben, good grief. I really thought for minute you were gonna blow a hernia .
Ita shame it sat for do long but from what I've seen so far , you're more than capable of sorting this baby out.
Big thumbs up from me. 👍
Japanese sports cars and cable ties go together like British sports cars flat caps. My 200sx and Subaru's had many many tempermanent cable tie fixes.
What a great lil car project!!!!! You guys are so lucky over there ... JDM has the steering wheel on the correct side for you chaps!!!! ;)
Well, you say they rust, but really they’re not bad. In the 1970s, when Toyota first appeared on the UK/Irish scene, the new Corollas were leaving flakes of rust on the showroom floors.
But the Japanese are not stupid. They listened and took on board the only real problem we had with their super luxuriously appointed budget cars.
Within a few years, they got to grips with moisture traps and even did a bit of corrosion protection and, it quickly became rare to see a Japanese colander on the roads. Even the scrapyards were populated by mechanical/electrical failures, due to maintenance issues, rather than dissolving in the rain.
I’m hopeful for the floor of my freebie Yaris, despite being full of water and alien life forms, since January!
Great find Ben! You deserve a solid motor after the Pan handle! I remember my mate had red MR2 exactly the same in the late 90s. Went with him one year from Peterborough to a MAX Power live show in Birmingham around 1999. Great fun!
The intro is worth a thumbs up alone😊
Ben. Underneath that car is brill. I find a lot of imported cars from Japan are quite good underneath as they don't have the same kind of weather as us. I had a Starlet Gt Turbo back in 2007 it was imported in 2006 it was an M Reg over here. My brother a guy who's was on the spanners years who is now a motor vehicle tutor at Manchester College suggested I had the cam belt done at a main dealer as I got a loan at 21 to buy it. And the guy who did it put it up on the ramp at the Toyota dealers in Bolton and showed me how spotless it was honestly like brand new and it was a 1995 car. This has much potential fella keep on with it and have a think about what I said about the tyres dude. Once again another great video and you have inspired me a lot mate.
What a great car, loads of potential. It’s worthy of a full restoration. That red would pop with a fresh coat. As a detailing addict, I can’t wait to see the interior scrubbed up! Keep the episodes coming.
Great car, you are stopping me from watching the walking dead, thanks mate
As a previous owner of a mark 2 MR2 I enjoyed this video 🙂. You are ver lucky with the lack of rust, they rust for fun. Also mine used to eat alternators as the water would drop into it from the deck.
What a great find Ben, really spurs you on when it's this good. Looking forward to the next installment. Brilliant videos as always thanks
Great car, and given it’s the UK, I can get over the lack of rust!
I reckon it’s definitely worth a proper restoration, and as such - refinishing the factory wheels would be worth it.
PS. Did the Patreon thing. Big fan of channels like yours, Pollitts Projects, Backshed.
Thanks mate it's really appreciated, I'm astounded by the lack of rust in the car aswell it's a bit of a dream, I'm enjoying getting episode 2 filmed!
really nice tidy car. it deserves more loving for sure. I bet it was one heck of a cool car back in the day. gotta be worth money now or getting more desirable as a classic😃😃😃
Looking forward to seeing you bring this beauty back, I’m sure it will turn out good ??/
Great car this mk 2 the only thing is the rear tyre is too big and it needs new toyota Alloy wheels as they to me do not seem genuine you can find some hopefully on a scraped uk version, I had one mk 1 and two mk2 versions manual gearbox but auto were not really sold many in uk. Great find and nice videos.
Go all the way on this one Ben, nice wheels :)
That thing on the front bumper is an old jdm parking pole. It's to help park in a small parking space
Great stuff, yours is a very entertaining channel.
Thank you mate 🙏🙏🙏
brilliant choice of car for a resurrection. look forward to part 2
G'evening from the high desert of Southwest Idaho USA Ben ☕☕ 🤠 . I've been turning wrenches on things since I was a little kid from remote control vehicles to Motorcycles Cars and Trucks, I can't leave anything stock 😋 . Also, Congrats 🎉 . You've come a long way in one year and you should be damn proud of it 😇 . Anyhoo y'all get some really cool cars that we don't get here in the states & I love the Porsche, the MR2 and the dyna Z. You have a good day my friend 🤠 ..
Thanks man I love the RC stuff aswell it's a lot of fun, big Tamiya fan! Love your country you have some of my favourite things over there, I need a Chevy Caprice in my life 😅 appreciate you taking the time to say hello
@@tastyclassicsThanks Ben 🤠 . I'm 😮48 now and I still love playing with R/C's and I love Tamiya 🤗 . I really like 1/8 scale petrol powered ( nitromethane) monster trucks and Buggies. I just built a team associated MGT 4.6 monster truck with a big block .26 engine in it. If you like the Chevy Caprice you might be able to find me Vauxhall equivalent in the UK. Sure in the states the Caprice was also badged as the Chevy Lumina & the Impala. I think the Impalas were optioned the best and were probably the fastest especially the Impala Super Sport. Come to think about it you probably loved me Monte Carlo Super Sport as well. Here in the states the majority of 80s and 90s Chevy Caprices were full vehicle as used by taxi cabs (lorries ? ) and by the constabulary
. They used to be everywhere but now it's once-in-a-blue-moon if you ever see one on the road 😋😋
Wow, quite a survivor. It looks as if it was on the roads of Britain for a short enough time to prevent it from dissolving completely. You don't see many in Australia but they sold quite well I think. They were raced here and there was even a Bathurst special edition. Looking forward to seeing what you end up doing with it but it seems quite mundane after the Panhard. 😊
i am SO jealous..always wanted to find a roughy one of these and just get it on the road and wear its imperfections, try things DIY style, wishing i was you having got that..if it ever goes, id be super interested..though knowing how crazy people go for that JDM tax.. puts me off some dream cars, 3000GT, 300ZX..though there is a nieghbour with a 3000GT in worn red paintwork like this..might be a ballache to get going but something to do..would look pretty good beside ol MR two.
Getting this up and running but keeping the dirt and crap paint would be cool 👌🏻
Now that's a car for the ring.
Ya a jammy sod, that mr2 is begging to be restored, an thrashed round the nurburgring, I look forward to seeing this car complete, bro
Brilliant Ben the car will be great when restored. Excellent video you make me laugh
Legend mate, another top video, brings back memories of my MR2 turbo MK2 I had a lot of years ago. Keep up the good work 👍
Ive owned loads of these and the mk1. I do prefer the mk1 for driving, its like a road legal kart. The mk2 is a great car though, very reliable other than the odd common fault that all cars have. That 3SGE engine is bullet proof like most 90s Toyotas. Some of the mk2 common problems are the brass heater pipes which run above the fuel tank can leak where the bracket that bolts them to the body is soldered/braised to the pipe, the rear handbrake calipers seize giving poor handbrake performance and MOT failure, front calipers also seize giving binding brakes, inner steering rack joints commonly go giving play in the steering, T-bar roof seals lose their plumpness with age and start to leak, sills towards the rear usually rot, manual gear change cables can snap which isnt a problem for yours, front suspension strut top mounts start to knock with age/wear, otherwise they are a great car.
A happy man: Dyna done, MR2 a runner... What more can you w
Great stuff Ben, thanks for sharing.
It still tickles me that in France they had to change its' name because MR2 is pronounced very closely to "Merde", so it would have been the toyota shit in france, because em ehr deux... :P
Looks great, God is good to you lol
Great video and having owned 4 mk2 MR2s i can tell you have a gem there, super clean underneath. I just replaced my NSR caliper and was pretty hard to get. Look forward to next installment. Ps defo put on the oe wheels. TOYO still do a full set of staggered tyres for the car.
Sweet little daily drive you’ve got there.
Great episode, yet again. Full resto? I think so! Good luck and looking forward to following the whole story.
Hi man just made my day happy. funny as fock ❤
It just goes to show how good a scruffy looking car can be under the surface .
Managed to watch the entire episode at work tonight 😂.
Im looking forward to the next one .
I think the car is straight enough....slight surface rust in a couple of places no major dents and no panels needed..... I'd be giving her a paint job. She's a modern classic. Someone will be happy to pay for it.
Great episode Ben, that’s got to be a keeper when finished. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Can not wait for next episode of mr2
Love this one so much potential
Hi i am from Ireland and i live on a beef farm and i like your TH-cam videos 🇮🇪🐂🇮🇪🚜
Really enjoyed that 👌🏻 great episode and great content..
missing 1 or 2 cylinders but sounds ok ish, new plugs or a clean maybe leads.
Amazing i love this and i love to See your enthusiasm for thia car. This is what i also feel everyday about my 91.
Please remove the factory foam from the insides of the rear quater (between door and rear wheels) it is the problem for rust under the sideintake (sideskirts)
And could you make some good quality Photos of the sticker on the rear Window and the t tops please? I'm searching for These to make myself some good near OEM as posible replicas, this would be so great! The dandism stuff is so hard to find it was Japan only and i think only 92 or so.. normaly there are dandism floor mats too.
Sorry for this long comment 😂
Funnily enough , the spoiler looked pretty decent on that metro
That’s seriously tidy underneath you’ve done well sir can’t wait for the next MR2 revival 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Love this channel great content every episode 😊
90 minutes of pure bliss. cracking.😀
Love this! had one in my workshop which i modified for a customer! proper cool cars but i can’t fit into them 🤣 video on my channel, love the work you do on here!
One of these generation MR2's that thankfully, survived that rubbish, fake ferrari/lamborghini replica butchering that many were subject to. Nice MR2's these are as well, good to see you bringing this one back.
If the conversion was done right it actually looked good and made a ok car look different
@@bmwman1981 Even so, still was a bit of a shame to see quite a few go that route, and you wouldn't see as many of these MR2's about from those conversions done. Rather just have it stay as an MR2, with some modifications perhaps instead of being turned into a faux supercar
I’m impressed it finally ran with only 3 cylinders tops . A good electrical service should have it running on 4 again. Plugs,leads, dizzy cap clean up- No nasty mechanical sounds which is a bonus.
Lovely car that.
Just love you channel , great MR2 can't wait to see more love to know where i can get some Tasty Classic merch from too
Check the description there should be a link there!
Love it Ben 😆👍fantastic car l had one in the late 90,s same model import but in black , and yes it was fast and loved the auto box it actually got me into auto cars sorry yes l love them have a 2001 mercedes slk r170 320 auto Japanese import now fast as a scone 😂
The mr2 was so comfy as well , only problem was it got nicked 😢 got it back but had been damaged 💔 but yes loved that car .. thanks for fantastic video content and great comic content to bet car videos by far 😆👍
Thanks!
Thank you very much ❤️❤️
"thought it might of been Soy Sauce" made me spit my brew out Ben 😂😂😂
Fifty shades.
I used to have one of those MR2 20 years ago. They're great fun but twitchy af on the rear end. Mine was red and the paint faded like that too.
The older I get, the more interested in am in cars I didn't find interesting when they were released. I think the joy of driving has overcome me Vs the desire for power and status!
Amazing channel Ben, the only to make me LOL.
Oh and dont panic if the timing belt snaps, just time it up fit a new belt.
I just read up on it, the three magic words every man wants to hear - 'non interference engine' 🤣🤣
i found the easy way, yup it broke while driving, mx5 1.8 is also frindly, and the mazda bongo 2.5 v6 petrol, happy engines.
That is CLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEAN!
nice car! seems to be a watanabe rs8 set of rims! *edit:maybe they are enkei j10, now that i took a proper look! keep it up!
Wow a real JDM in the UK, and I thought the only good cars you had there where French. 😅
Awesome video, it's like dicking about on car with a mate. Laughing out here. Wife not impressed as she's in bed and up early. Oh well... 😂
Nice project - well worth sorting due to the underneath. Get it undersealed ASAP as it won't stay like that for long. I like the patina - It's LDV post office/Corsa MK1 style - Would like to see what a bit of farecla would do before you give it a blow over. Alloys are ok but nothing special, and you don't have the HFH (hose from hell) as it's non turbo. Looking forward to the next installment, and I have patreonised you.
I used to have a G limited and where I got it from near Brighton they had a Turbo in metallic green with Gold alloys and Apexi Boost controller . That was fast 0-60 in 4 secs . But it got stolen and burnt out . After my G limited got a Supra MKiV in Silver
Another excellent video.....change that timing belt though, I'm a nervous wreck just watching.
The car is in fantastic condition, it really deserves some time spent on it to give it a new lease on life, go on, you know you want to.
Fanatstic Video! What a find. I found 1990 saab 90016v converible that solid but it had been in a garage.
This is my favorite Chanel now. I love this guy.I am certified mechanic and I love how he just gets stuck in and eventually sorts it.A refreshing change from the soft woke and week young apprentices of today,but why the helldo Poms carry a mug of tea who the hell does that?😊
