Default Pics of the SC300. Thought I would share

Here are some pics of my SC300. I bought it as a Christmas present to myself.

My 1993 SC300 with the 5spd manual tranny. I got it as a project and got it running. It has 106,000 miles on it. It needed a water pump as the one on the car sprung a leak in the freeze plug on the back and the owner took it to lexus and said it would be 3-4000 to fix. He did not want to put the money into it so he sold it to me for a great deal. I replaced the waterpump, hoses, timing belt and tensioner, thermostat and gaskets.

I scrubbed and cleaned as it has been setting for 8-9 months since it sprung the leak. I thought I would share.

I have been really been enjoying the car.

Thanks for the comments. It has a few flaws such as the outside bolster of the drivers seat is has a worn/tear spot from climbing in and out. I am the 3rd owner. I am looking to do some tasteful mods such as wheels, lowering kit etc.

Thanks for all the comments... I have alot of elbow grease in getting this car to look like it does now. There are a few flaws but you have to look to find them. There was 8 months of dust and dirt on it from setting in the guys garage.
