Default Im back! AGAIN! For the 3rd time!

Aloha my 1GS fam! Im back in a 1st gen GS300 for the 3rd time! Haha! Well just incase some of you don't know me,heres a little history.
This is my Junction Produce GS300 I've built years ago.....which I later sold
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-94-gs300.html

After a couple years passed,I decided to buy it back!.....BUT! I sold it again less than a year later.
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...808-state.html

Why did I sell it yet again? IDK. I was tired of it having problems and not being a practical daily driver. So I got rid of it. Bought an RX300 after that,then traded that for a Corolla S,then traded that for a IS350. Now that I have a reliable daily driver I decided I needed a project. I already had a project but was getting tired of it and wanted to go a different route.
My '86 Toyota Cressida. Was gonna turn it into a drift car but feelings and priorities changed.

So I sold it to make room for another project. And here she is,my '93 GS300

The night I got it (a month ago) and my IS350 behind it

The previous owner had cut the springs and gave it a rustoleum flat black paint job. My concept for this build is a budget daily beater. It wont be nowhere near like my first GS! Haha! BuT I've got ideas brewing in my head to change it up,but no money in my pocket to make it happen yet. LOL! But I did buy a set of 18" Work S2H wheels for it already. They're 18x8.5 & 18x10

The fitment is ok I guess,but I plan to buy another set of aggressive 18" wheels in the future.
But first I plan to buy Powered By Max coilovers. Hopefully real soon. So I started prepping for it by relocating the wire harness that's in the driver side fender well.

I just got a few wires I need to extend for it to be complete. But for now she sits like this. Patiently waiting to be worked on

Here's a few things I want to get done by the end of summer
Coilovers / bodywork (rust repair,rolled & flared fenders) / Plastidip paint job / VIP style mufflers
Hopefully I can get it done. So yeah that's it. Im happy to be back in the 1GS fam and hope to make some progress on this budget build.
