A little about myself, I own/operate my own shop, out of my own garage at the moment, but I have been in business since '06. I do repairs/restore on pretty much anything, just lately things have been slow. I have been in the Mr2 thing for quite sometime, as I have always owned one, and currently 4. One is a 85 with an 89 gze swap, of coarse I do all my own work, it has the n/a tranny but it is fairly quick, the 89 chassis has since been repaired and now sports a ported head on a n/a block with the s/c tranny, think I will run out of engine before gear LOL. I have an old 71 Pontiac 2 door Catalina, that my granddad left me when he past on, it is in mid build. I found this site on mr2.oc, and already noticed a name of a person I know...hey Mckenny!....anyway, the AE86 guys seem to be on top of the 4age/4agezs so I thought I'd poke around here and see what insights all have to offer.
