(this is all directly copied from my build thread in CL)
The goal for this build is the following. This currently IS my daily but I will at somepoint get another car and make this a fulltime project. I want to repaint this car DWP as it came from factory. i want to replace everything that is broken or missing. I want this car to be MINT. completely opposite of which i actually got the car. When i finish the build i want to take it to the dealership where it was originally sold (coincidently enough it was bought at the Local Lexus dealership) i want to park it in the showroom as if it were for sale and take some pictures of it and who knows if theyre willing maybe make a video of me "purchasing" the car. it would be so insane but thats just what my 19yo mind is thinking at the moment lol
Bought my car in early March of 2012. Found it on craigslist for $1,600. Funny thing, my car always looks so much better in pictures than it does in real life. Anywho i show up to the spot, this was my first car ever. I notice it's super dirty, cracked rear bumper, cracked windshield, shattered side view mirror. Open the door, interior is torn apart. center console is missing half of the components, cupholder, stereo, ashtray, etc. carpet is trashed. He tells me trunk doesn't open. I was working 40 hours a week and I really needed a car. I always had a soft spot for SC's so I told my brother i really wanted the car, he asked me, you know its going to be tons of money and time before it looks good? i said yea i know and im willing to invest time and money. anywho long short that day i was the owner of a 1995 sc300 gold package.
this is the day after i got my car and gave it a good wash.
