I put it all back together my buddy who runs his own shop did all the body/paint work. He does amazing work and puts loads of attention to detail. I am sure he would gladly fix anyone's Mr2! I can do basic prep work and have the mechanical abilities, but the body work requires someone with far better skills aka my buddy.



To be honest both me and my buddy agreed the car was past the "worth saving" point (cheaper to buy clean body and repaint it), but it was my 1st car meant the world to me and my buddy understood that so we/he saved it.



If your not attached to your car it may be worth it to swap your SC motor into a clean body car or Grab another SC. The amount of work that this had done and the costs are far higher then just buying a clean MK1.



But in the end of the day its all about how much your willing to dump into the car. I fully know no matter how clean it is it will never sell for what I have into it. Im 100% okay with that and plan to never sell the car so it was just something I "wasted" money on to make me happy.
