best story I have for a while.
It’s actually a 1991 Toyota MR2. But I call it the Terrarium because of all the creepy crawlers I found in it. The guy at DangerZone was pretty confused when he asked me what Toyota model it was and I responded, “Terrarium.” I picked it up for a cool $500. That was the asking price by the way, I felt bad for getting such an awesome deal I didn’t push it with any negotiation. All it needs is a clutch…and a bath, and a lot of cleaning. Everything works, it’s very complete, very original and there’s not a dent on it. It was parked at the bottom of a driveway for 2 years with the passenger door cracked open and a berm of top soil, leaves, and animals on it. The interior was horrible, it smelled like nature…a damp, rotten wilderness. I have so far stripped the interior completely, power washed, scrubbed, shampooed, scrubbed, Iysoled, and reinstalled it. It now smells and looks as good as new. I haven’t done anything on the exterior other then brush the nature off, you can see little zig-zaggy worm tracks on the paint. Despite being covered in moisture, there’s no rust. Plans are to fix it, then rallycross the E36 M3 out of it all this coming season. more info: http://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/new-to-me-91-terrarium/6320/page1/

Keep the updates and pix coming here. Good stuff.
Nice work on the shifter boot! I'll probably do something like that on my Golf. Great find, read your recovery story. <g>
