Default New GS300 93 Owner Mod's / VIP / Restore

Hello Club Lexus,
So about me ...
I'm a car guy by nature but more so Lexus / Toyota i cant get enough of these cars. This is my first GS I had a 92 LS400 94 SC400 then 96 LS400 2013 RX330 and now my new baby 93 GS300. i gave the RX to the parents Because i joined the military and guess who only traveled 500 miles outside his birth place ..... And that a quick background on, me now on to the car!!!!

1993 GS300 200k+ price 900.00

Good
• Strong motor
• Strong transmission
• Working shocks
• Heater and AC working great
Bad
• Needs body work / paint job
• Both Front seats are done
• High presser power steering hose leek “ fixing this weekend”
• Sun root not work “ fixing this weekend”

I Have a list mod I’ve done and going to do.

Congrats on the car Good sir. I have to ask where you scored the needles because I may have to look into that myself. Although no time soon since another GS300 slipped through my fingers But any plans for the motor? Since you already have so many LSes are you going to upgrade to the LS brakes?

I got them off flebay and they work great

I'd like the LS or Surpa brakes, but for now I'll just fix the stock one along with SS brake lines and get then powder coated white to match my new paint job. I'm going minor up grades for the stock engine port map the headers coldair intake. When this motors on its last leg I get the JDM twin turbo with the stick that's the dream.

Default congrats

Congrats on the car. Welcome to the club. Where did you get the manual? I've been looking for one but I don't want to pay anything ridiculous for it.
