I always wanted to do this to my SC300, what is the process and how much would it cost? somebody told me it needed cut and welded like matching the front and back.....is this true?

This conversion was done by changing out the firewall. Not cutting off the front end and welding on the soarer one. The whole front subframe, suspension, and brakes from the soarer was also swapped over. Also the doors, mirrors, center console, climate control, etc.

Well I just installed JDM soarer visors. I added tint and filled in the holes in the rear. Now I'm badgeless in the rear. I havent made up my mind if I want to put the toyota symbol back on and get a SOARER emblem.
I have Stance GR+ coilovers on the way along with Daizen steering rack bushings and a supra TT rear sway bar.
BTW the color isn't the factory color. Its Cool Silver metallic from the Mitsubishi Evolution 8 and up.

Went to the track today for Import Showoff @ PBIR. I got only 1 run. Since it was my first time with the car, I didnt want to launch it. I just rolled into it so my 60' time sucked. I thought I wouldve gotten a 2nd run but it would take way too long.
I ran a 14.416@98.71mph. My motor is a bone stock 1jz. Stock exhaust and intercooler. Next time I go back I'll at least have a 3" downpipe. I want to hit up that circuit track though. My 60' was 2.354 seconds.
Here's a vid of the run. I went up against an 11 second supra. He ran an 11.457@120.53mph.
And here's what's coming soon. I still have to order the helper springs to make it GR+ Pros.
A couple night pics I was trying out with the camera
I bought the car already with the RHD conversion. But I got it for a very good price. It's legal down here.

Just got a custom 3" mandrel bent downpipe and midpipe. The work was done by Kiko Engineering. Very cool guy and very nice work with a very good price. Here's some pics and a video. The rest of the exhaust system is stock. He will be doing my front mount intercooler piping soon.
I should've used my better camera. But this will do.
