Any ideas oh how you go about finding a car without an engine or with a blown engine to start a project?

Graigslist.org Lots of deals there. Are you looking for a SC? We also have few guys in our forum selling the whole shell because they want the motor for MKIII swap. They goes pretty cheap.

He's right - craigslist is your friend.

I bought mine for $400 (counting gas and a trailer to pick the thing up). All parts were with the car, but the body is screwed up. However thanks to CL, that is getting taken care of CHEAP.

As per the motor, the dude had no idea what he was doing - so I did TT HG, ARP hardware, and lots of little things and am now fixing the fuel system because the car sat for over a year.

Total so far I'm in for less than $1000 for what will be a running car this weekend, and less than $1200 counting body work.

THanks folks, I probably would have had a better chance of finding the right SC when I was based in Atlanta, now that I am in the SEattle area, they cost a bit more and I havent seen any thus far without engines. But at least I know it is worthwhile to keep my eye open.

I am not ready to do anything at the moment but I have the twinkle of an idea in the back of my mind, so I am just starting to mull it over. I have to buy the Mrs, a new ride first but I miss having a project of some sort to focus on so I have been thinking that a 700hp SC300 might be fun at some point


I've always been a 1uz guy but I am sort of exhausted on the effort it takes to make a GS400 work at high hp, maybe the easier more traveled route of a 2jz GTE might be more fun.
