The above is only a small amount of work that was done.
Please note that all items in the above list that show as being "added", are
items that were original options when the car was ordered from Toyota in 1987.
Due to the MR2's limited production, it has taken over two years of collecting
all the "right" parts and four months of body work to get this car in its
current condition.
My car was built in July of 1986 and is #824 off the
assembly line. Only 15,742 of this model year were imported to Canada & the
US from Japan. Out of the 15,742 only 670 were sold in Canada and 419 were my
model (manual transmission with t-tops).
The car was first sold by a
Toyota dealership from Rock Forest, Quebec. I still have the original owners
name and address.
Someday I might take a little road trip and knock on
their door and say "Hey.. remember this car??!!"
I wonder what they would
say.
