[What is this?]

Here is where I need your help. I see this part but do not know what it's for or called. On the side it has a Toyota Sticker on it. There are two serial numbers

that I tried to google with no results. There two numbers are 89570-16080 and 084600-1840. There is also a power rating on the side that says 12v.

Can anyone tell me what this is?

Now don't laugh too hard. I know it's gonna be a lllllllloooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnngggggggggg journey!

Here is what the MR-2 looks like. Sorry, I should have taken the pictures before putting it in the garage. The boat takes up too much

room to get a better shot.

As you can see, I just started working on it. Those are my tools on the back and then I had to come to my office to start this thread because

I'm running into issues.

This quarter panel was at one time replaced or repaired before I got it.

Looks like a critter got in and chewed up the seat.

I'm gonna have to give this engine a MAJOR cleaning and de-greasing. I just removed the intake so I could install new battery wire teminals.

The intake and air filter housing were in the way.

Here is an example of the corrosion I have to address on the way for this project.

Greetings everyone. My name is ApollosWorld.

I joined this forum for a very specific purpose and I hope this thread will help others while it continues.

About 14 years ago, I purchased a 1985 MR-2 with moon roof.

I purchased it for about $3,000.00 and I only drove it for about 2 years. The reason being is that I had to replace the clutch twice and

then had a life changing event that basically sent me on another path for quite a while. So instead of fixing it AGAIN, I forgot about it

because I was tired of putting money into it all the time.

I left the MR-2 in my moms drive-way for the last 12years. Never starting it, never even opening the doors.

Well after 12 years of just sitting there, my mom gets a notice from the county where they tell us to move it or lose it. I decide to have

it towed to my house and start the restoration process.

Now let me tell you....After 12 years of just sitting there, I open the hood and just all kinds of bugs,cobwebs, rust and corrosion has done

a lot of damage.

So NOW I'm on a mission. I want to restore it little by little one part at a time. Once it is fully functional, I will give it to my son.

Now here is where I hope the community can help me with:

I will begin logging what parts and progress I am making and update you with pictures. I am already running into issues whereas I see

parts I don't know what they are for, or even necessary for that matter.

My following post after this intro will give you an example of what I'm talking about. I would like to thank everyone and anyone in advance

for your assistance.

Sincerely,

Apollo!
