Attention Chris Eng...

[turbo MKI]

Hey Chris - not sure what the best way to reach you was but I was going through the one post and saw the link you posted to the MKI group. I didnt even know there was one :shock: When I opened it up - I couldnt believe they have a pic of my black PP '81 for there home page! There is now 81 member cuz I just joined :) The one guy has a MKI registry and he had a few pics of both of my MKI's up there... Pretty cool. I didnt realize that there was such a following... of course its not like the MKII-MKIV but still impressive.

"As some of you know, I've more or less been collecting information on the various paint codes that came on the MKI's & MKII's (see the sticky in the restoration forum). That thread is "slowly" starting to taper out a bit, mostly because most of the common colors have already been listed. Right now, it's mostly the oddball colors that were on L-Type cars that I'm now looking for, as well as pretty much anything that came on a MKI. As soon as I can get my act together, I need to join the MKI Yahoo list at http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/toyotamkisupraandcelicaxx/ and start bugging these guys for their paint codes.

My next project that I want to start, is a listing of all of the possible interior/trim codes that came on the MKI's & MKII's. Like what I did w/ the paint codes, I'll use the listing that came from David Cotter's TSRP page & add things as I go along & make a few corrections to the current stuff.

LOL!!!!! This is pretty funny.

Yeah, I just stumbled across the MKI Yahoo list about a year ago. I "assumed" you knew about it, because your Black 81 was on the home page. Ooops.. surprise.... :oops:

The list tends to be pretty quiet, despite their being 81 members there... I need to stir things up w/ these guys, I need to start bugging them for paint & trim codes.

Re: The MKI Registry. I sent Gus information on both of my MKI's. My former 80 Copper Metallic is the 2nd one list there (had 91K miles on it), and my current Silver Metallic (aka the Silver Slug) is the only one listed there in the 81's. Looks like you need to add your 3 MKI's on there also. :D :D

For anyone else w/ MKI's. please check this out as well. Not much to look at. but at least it's something. :D

FYI. Damon, if you want, the best way to get ahold of me, is to send me a PM.
