Last episode Marty was working on the MR2 which turns out to be not quite as clean as he first thought. Almost every bolt was seized or rusted, and while the body itself is in reasonable condition just about everything attached to it doesn't work. This episode the fuel tank tank needs to be removed and new coolant hoses installed throughout the car. The MR2 slowly but surely being restored to it's former glory but there's still a lot of work left to do.

Also something to note around Mighty Car Mods: we are normal guys and are not trained mechanics. We like to make interesting car mods and show you how we've gone about it, but we can't promise that anything we show you will work for your particular car, or that you won't harm yourself, someone else, your car or your warranty doing it. Please be safe, be responsible and unless you know what you're doing, do not fool around with very serious machinery just because you've seen us make it look so easy. Talk to a qualified mechanic if you are in any doubt.

We get it. I've spent the afternoon getting the downpipes off of a 14 year old VFR 800. The whole job, every nut/bolt/washer/screw battled me. I ended up with hammers/chisels and a grinder to complete the job, which feels like incompetence and failure. New exhaust studs needed/orderd, a thorough clean up and perhaps it'll all go back together politely.....but I'm not holding my breath on that. Still, locked down so plenty of time to do it right. Peace and health to all.

When Marty dropped the fuel tank then sat in the chair and gave the MR2 the finger I laughed so hard I forgot about things for a minute. I know that two humble men like yourselves may get a little tired of hearing it but I felt compelled to thank you for what you do and how you do it. God Bless you both and stay safe.

Hey Marty, quick tip for rusty-ish fasteners - if you can get it to turn a little bit, pretend you're tapping a hole. Back it out until it feels like it doesn't want to come out, then tighten till it gets easier again. Rinse and repeat until it comes out. Works for some, and saves you the trouble of drilling every single one out.

Marty, I feel for you. I’ve spent the last three days replacing the serpentine belt and tensioning pulls and alternator in a Chevrolet g20 van. And I’m in Canada, it’s snowing, it’s my daily driver, I’m working in my driveway, and I just found out my parts supplier sent the wrong size belt. Oh and it’s a 1988, and if you thought things rusted in Montreal, well, try calgary alberta. The supposed two piece fan shroud was stapled and welded together, every fastener took two days and 5 sprays of ‘deep creep’ penetrating spray, and oh my god I want to find a GM engineer from the mid eighties and beat them to death with a sack full of idler pulleys. So yeah, brothers in arms Marty, brothers in arms...

As an MR2 owner and enthusiast i love that Marty is experiencing all of these common problems, even down to the threaded and rusted bolts near the turbo. On thing marty, remove the interior trim that covers the seatbelt mechanism and look down the hole into the sill, there is usually a piece of sound deadening foam that falls down and rots the sill from the inside out, also check behind the boot carpet for rust on the arches, very common issues with these mr2's

Yo Marty, Been watching MCM from day dot and love what you guys do. It's great that you two do all these mods and produce some pretty decent stuff. I know it's highly unlikely you'll listen to this single comment but it's a constructive one. Alongside doing the mods, I really wish you'd be a little more clinical in a restoration kinda aspect. Like taking the time to give the MR2 some much needed touch ups where possible. Give the everything a good clean, if not by you, by a detailer or something. There's really nothing more I love seeing than, not only a a fixed car that skids, but a car that's transformed and aesthetic. Either way, love what you do and personally think your living the dream, you come a long way and I envy that. I'll have my own garage to tinker with boys toys some day. Just need to get the readies. Cheers, George.
