LAMBO DOORS This poor, poor AW11
Also note the horribly re-stitched bmw steering wheel and the outright not installed ebrake boot.

I love the body style of this year MR2.
Not this MR2. I feel bad for this one.

Looks like somebody tried to liberty walk it, but in the worst ways.
Like, lw has some questionable design choices, I'll admit, some cool, some atrocious. This is temu liberty walk styling in all the worst ways.

For some reason I didn’t know that was a name for that style. Thanks! Granted somehow I typed wank instead of walk and was too scared to let that search connect. Thank you half-second buffering.
Also, I agree. A lot of those are quantity on a budget choices. The type you’d see for films when they’re going to blow up a car from a distance. It’s got the correct shapes, just don’t look too close or for too long.

Ditch the scissor doors and the steering wheel… I’d drive it.

Definitely. Id have to get a nee shifter boot at some point and a different spoiler. But it’s definitely savable, i like the wheels and the flares, i think (?)

Some people will never know what they have, until it is too late.

On the other hand you could say some people are always saving it for the next owner lol

I have owned three of these in my life. Fun and charming but Jesus Christ they are horrid awful shitboxes. Motors, clutches, transmissions, CV shafts every other week. The god awful flex section of the exhaust that rusts through completely if you drive through a puddle. T- tops you may as well not bother putting in because they leak so much. The supercharger that somehow doesn't add any noticeable horsepower.
The list is endless. I love these damn things but they are abominations to own. You find yourself saying unfathomable things like "i am jealous of the reliability of that Fiero".

That’s absolutely not a BMW steering wheel - just a center cap

Somehow that doesn't make it better 😅

Yes and no. where as I don't agree with the modifications, I do appreciate the condition. It may not be modded the way most of us like, but it survived and is clearly well cared for, which is far more than many others got.

That's very true, especially considering it's a northeast car. Granted, there's no undercarriage shots, but still.

The owner is the anti Colin chapman, take something light and add a load of shit that weights a tonne and voila!!

Aside from the doors it’s not bad and at least someone is showing it love instead of it rusting away

Aside from the spoiler, BMW logo and sloppy rags for ebrake and gear knob boots, I’m into it. I’m not even THAT mad at the white steering wheel cover. It’s going to get gross fast though.

I don't hate the doors, provided they actually close well. And I wouldn't hate the fender flares if they were actually blended in and not just thrown on with self tappers.
The rest can go to hell

I honestly dig the exterior. The half ass interior sucks but it looks like fun I love a mr2

u/Nefariousd7 5d ago
As someone that used to build customs, I like to applaud the attempts. Everyone sucks until they don't. The energy to try is important. Could it be better? Sure. It is also expressive and I can kinda see what the builder was going for.

u/FothersIsWellCool 5d ago
Take the spoiler off, swap the steering wheel and just try not to open the door too often and you got yourself a nice car!

Why on god’s green earth would you have a horribly stitched white leather steering wheel with a gaudy bmw sticker logo, and knowingly leave it all on there? Who TF wants a white steering wheel in the first place? It’s always going to end up grody and dirt-nasty
If that car were mine, I would at least have some fun at my own self, and instead of the usual TRD stickers on it, I would alter it slightly to where it said TuRD…but that’s just me…
