Shiny new radiator and coolant hoses from Toyota. Bought these from the local Toyota dealer and got Al Palmer to install them for me.

Gave it a nice wash, and fresh coat of wax :D

On my way to 180,000km

My mr2 has been treating me well so in return I'm treating him back with some fresh new OEM parts from Toyota + Ryco fuel filter.

Some things never made it into the photo because I got excited and installed as soon as I got them

Distributor cap
Distributor seal
Distributor rotor
Spark plug leads
Power window trim
Interior door handle bezel trims
New rubber pedals
Rear quarter passenger vent trim

Also gave it an oil change with Valvoline Synpower 5w-40 and an OEM Oil filter

I love driving this thing and plan to keep it indefinitely. Just puts a smile to my face every time I get in :)

Old vs new dizzy rotor and the old dizzy cap

Gave the mr2 some tender loving care this weekend by giving it a wash, dry, clay bar and wax

8hours of hard work later including a lunch break.

Flyboy

How much was the ashtray by the way?

Hi Flyboy, your GTS is stunning! Check out that gleaming paint work!

It was $69 USD but the shipping was expensive. I ended up buying a lot of other stuff at the same time to make the shipping cost worthwhile.

2 weeks ago the car got treated to some new OEM Toyota Parts courtesy of Two's R Us. New leather gear knob, gear shift boot, gear shift surround plastic trim and ash tray.

The aged shiny leather on the Handbrake lever really stands out now.

Apart from that the car has had all it's fluids changed and a new thermostat installed.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome, I hope to meet all of you at some point along my mr2 ownership journey!

@Carmikey, thanks for the compliments, It's awesome to know that this is the car you've seen around in Adelaide before.

@xez Thanks for the compliments! I bought it at 172 533km :D

It's been awesome to be able to read up on the history of the car. From the log books kept it looks like I'm the fourth or fifth happy owner of this lovely car. It was originally delivered at North Point Toyota, SA on the 20/8/94. The second owner bought it from Cornes Toyota in 2001 @ 86k km. In 2005 the car was treated to it's final Toyota dealership service at 108k km. That's when the logs books stop and from then the next owners probably started servicing it themselves, which is not a problem as it's in very good condition for it's age.

@RdS thanks! i've always wanted to own a nice Bathurst SW20 as well! Since 2004 I've probably looked at 3 of them on separate occasions but wasn't able to own one until now.

Regarding my old aw11, i have a few old photos of it on my old nokia phone, but the phone is hiding somewhere and I can't seem to find it at the moment. It was a white AUS delivered model with an engine conversion. The body was rough but the mechanicals on that thing was rock solid and started first time every time.

Aargh - so jealous! What a stunner!
That was my dream-machine before i ever bought my AW11 - an early bathurst with the silver wheels and non-airbag wheel. Looks so great standard.. And its such a nice example!

Pics of your old aw11?

It's sorta funny, a year ago i went to Sydney to find mine and drove it back to SA, and you buy yours in SA and drive it back to Sydney...
Definitely looks clean and original :)
