I think the OEM set looks better; just need to be cleaned up a bit.

Thats what I want to do...it only needs a couple of body parts and a radiator...and I have a certifit about 30 miles from my house...so I could def have it running in no time...

but I also have put in almost 4 years working with camrys and building it to how i want it...it wasnt there yet but it was closer than ever before...

If I get the MR2 then I will be parting out my coupe...and I am still selling the sedan...

I would probably buy the MR2 if I were you. Seems sorta shady why he would but the whole car for just a couple parts though, considering that the body parts probably aren't to hard to find.

Make sure to check out the engine and tranny to make sure their not junk.

MR2 for sure. But. That's weird that he needed it for sheet metal. Going to lowes and buying sheet metal would have been cheaper, don't you think...?

Yeah no offense but I LOVE MY CAMRY but i would be all over the mr2 if i had the choice... hahaha all it needs is a few parts and will be back to running and looking great. You could prob talk him down too in price. i would throw a grand at most for the mr2. The camry is nice to but it looks like it needs alot more work. only reason id buy that is to get the 5spd out of it for my car.

Eh. MR2s are nice. But the 5s-fe can be nice for fuel economy. I'd prolly take the MR2.
