That is pretty cool, is that a k20 powered X?

Zzw30 mr2 (3rd generation) seems like the answer, around here, they're cheaper than a nice aw11, my turbo, 6speed/lsd swapped daily driver weighs 1900lbs with the fuel light on and makes 250 wheel.  It still has power windows and mirrors, carpet, and stock seats. There are plenty of k swapped ones and kits although that's blasphemous. Why these aren't the easy button car for the sub 10k/sub 5k segment is baffling to me. 

the issue is the hardtops are also in the $3k range for a used one.

Leave it an open car, they're more fun anyway.

Looks like the winner is an MR2. Too good of a deal to pass up. The owner is a Toyota mechanic, he found the car, parted three cars, installed a E51 transmission from a SC car, and installed a rebuilt 3VG-FE v6. Car still needs much assembly, but the body is 100% rust free with good paint, interior has seats reupholstered in leather and a ton of parts to finish the car, including new brakes, with the brackets to use the larger SC rotors, braided lines, poly bushings, new struts, new springs and a ton of other parts. Body has about 100,000 miles on it. No pictures yet but with 95% of the parts to finish it, it was too good of a deal not to pass up for $2,500. Guy wanted to finish the car, but he has three other projects and is moving so needed to part with it.  I would rather have a 1MZ-FE but the heavier 3VG-FE is a proven swap engine  in these cars, so will keep it there for now. 

Pictures next month, when I bring it all home.
