This is the first MR2 I got 2 years ago and I was so stoked to have a project to work on!

Re: Billy's sw20 + BEAMS swap
Unfortunately, I will announce that this BEAMS swap has now been canned as of 2024. No more progress will be made on this MR2, chassis number SW20-0009949. However, I will transfer the build towards a new vehicle. Please stay tuned for my new project.
