Well, about a year ago I found out how terrible sc300s are in the snow ice and it led to this.....

Slowly coming together. I managed to scoop up a 2000 front bumper in the process. All parts came from Aliga. Had to take a ride to maryland. I had to make a day trip there and back. Total time in prepping was about 25 hours and all parts were primered by can lol.

I just bought a set of TT wheels for now. Trying to save to get married so I can't be spending lots of dough. If I can scrap some spare money together I want some SSR professor sp1s. (wishful thinking lol)

I had some 19s on it before but it was a little to showy for me so I sold them.

Thanks took a while to do. And yes those brakes are looking mighty well ugly lol. I'm always so busy doing stuff for everyone else that I don't get a chance to work on my own stuff. I crashed the car last year i think in march sometime. I was driving on the highway going super slow. I came down on a decline on the highway and felt the car start to slide. Got it to stop sliding for a sec then hit a huge patch of black ice and went right into a guardrail. The car stopped sliding finally when it hit the guardrail lol.

Thanks. I did what I could. For the the stuff I couldn't I had my buddy frank do. Hes a frame guy/ body man so he was able to get it back pretty good. Honestly having it back to one solid color makes me happy enough.

Thank you. No grill insert yet, I've been searching the classifieds for one. Nothing yet though.
