my mk1.5 project (danger to all 56k, picture intensive)
here we go... the official thread.
this is the 1985 N/A mr2 that i bought on the way home from the junkyards for 100 USD.  it had a non-working engine (perfect for what i wanted it for) but because of that, was deemed "not worth anything" as a sportscar. so.... old engine got pulled, new series2 3sgte bought from Japan, and new engine was put in. ...actually, it was a whole lot more involved than that... so I’ll continue. major difficulties: new engine mounts and mounting brackets (all of them...), rewiring the engine to the car, custom drive shafts (a variation on the S/C shafts), some clearancing in the engine bay, custom exhaust and downpipe, new fuel pump... and there were a few other things done to the car...  new engine, still in the wrapper   out of the wrapper  the old engine (eeeewwwwwwwwwwww)  pulled old engine, the car is just hanging out...  the templates for the mounts in the car  the mounts (can't find the picture of them welded in  )

 the new bolt on mounts that i made/adapted (for the bottom of the engine)  the new fuel pump and my first attempt at an exhaust...    sadly, this won't be used, it's too heavy... i'll just be using the 2.5" pipe to a supertrapp   and.... the engine behind the car
