Welcome! You've found the home of Backyard MR2 Parts!
Announcement/Update to our customers!
We specialize in the first generation MR2 (1985-1989US production) used parts, custom parts and we also work on them in our shop located in Mineral Springs, North Carolina just southeast of Charlotte. I am an MR2 and sports car enthusiast and I've had Corvettes, Mustangs, and all sorts of cars over the years and I've fallen in love with the early MR2. The car pictured above is one of my own MR2's with custom side scoops and a custom rear decklid. I have several first generation cars, including both modified supercharged and lightly modified naturally aspirated engines. I'm rebuilding a 1986 hardtop now, but I'm also working on finishing up my 1965 Mustang fastback with my father, so I'm not working on the 86 too much lately. My father is a design engineer and we collaborated and designed the custom side scoops and decklid and he did the paintjob and installed both items on the car above as well as drew up the prints for the production parts. He's done many custom builds and complete restorations on classics and 60's-70's Muscle cars, but has taken some time off from that for now. My father also just sold his 88 Supercharged car and currently owns a black 91 5 speed N/A. The custom parts will be available in the near future as soon as I can get another set of scoops fabricated and then fitted (must get the correct radius for fitment to the side of the car). I try to pick up occasional parts cars and rebuildable project MR2's, and go through the cars before I offer them up for sale. I try to be honest about the condition of any parts or vehicles I offer for sale, and I'll offer pictures of all parts and cars that are for sale here. I've owned and currently own a few other old Toyotas so don't be surprised to see a Supra, Celica, Land Cruiser, 4 Runner or other models offered for sale here as well. Check back often if you're shopping for a clean first generation MR2, or if you're looking for parts for the first generation MR2. If you have a reasonably priced parts car or a first generation car that needs repair or attention contact me, I may be interested (local area cars at this time only). E-mail me at backyardmr2parts@yahoo.com regarding either of those.

Project Cars!
I also rebuild and repair first generation MR2's. As I finish up project cars I'll be listing them for sale. Most will be mainly stock, but some may have some upgrades and I'll make sure to highlight any modifications, improvements, or changes to the cars. I'm currently (slowly lately here) rebuilding a white 1986 hardtop ex-race car that I'm returning to street trim. I'll have detailed word documents of most all work done and will keep receipts for most new items purchased. Stay tuned for the 86 and others to be offered for sale soon!
1986 Hardtop Project (can build to suit buyer)
Current Project... This car is underway now in our shop, you can follow the progress below. If you're looking to have a car gone through like this but don't have time, equipment, or just don't want to do it yourself you can contact us for estimates (prices will depend on parts/timeframe, etc.). We do lots of other repair/upkeep work too, but we're trying to stick to mainly MR2's right now. Contact us at backyardMR2parts@yahoo.com

Custom Backyard MR2 Parts
We have also produced a few custom parts also and after getting requests to offer these parts for sale, we're taking steps to get these items into small-batch production. These items will only be available as we're able to produce them and will be limited quantity items. Some of these custom items require body work skills, and items that require such will be accompanied by detailed installation instructions and hopefully we can knock out a video on computer CD-ROM of the installation process on anything that is complicated or requires welding or custom fitting. I already have all the necessary items to do the Video and CD-ROMs.
