Hello all,

I will use this thread to update and keep progress of my MR2 SW20 1991 restoration/build.

I live in The Netherlands and bought the car in Germany from a guy who started the project but didn't finish it. The car was stripped of the most parts, and the engine was out.

This will be a long project, and I will upgrade the car along the way where possible. The first things on the list are:
  1. Get the car in technical good condition
  2. Get it running and working properly
  3. Get a dutch registration on it.
From there on I will work on wards and get the car in Excellent condition.
I will take it step by step, and post updates in this Thread.

Take care, Roel

Bringing that 91Sw20 back to life sounds like a fun but long road ahead, since you are doing a full frame restoration shop, sticking with the OEM bumper is the wise choice. It keeps the car’s classic lines intact. Make sure to document each stage, especially the wiring and engine refit; that’s where many projects hit snags. Auto restoration’s all about patience and keeping track of small details looks like you are on the right track already.
