Default New owner - my 1st SC!

So after searching for an SC, i finally found one and went after it. I bought it from a 70 year old man, who also a MBZ CL500, Jag XK8, an AUDI TT, and a Range Rover Sport. He has all 5 parked in his garage.

It's a 97 SC300 with 114k miles in excellent condition. Paid $6600 for it. Had a 95 score from autocheck, with a clean ca title. He's the only owner. as all service records since day 1, including the tool kit that came with the car, and even a first aid kit. She runs as if she is brand new. I feel in love with her quick. What i was really happy about was to find an owner who actually has service records for their car and actually took care of it. I ran into way too many people who claimed their SC was in excellent condition, but had zero service records to prove to me, that they took care of their car.

Tomorrow i will be throwing tint on her, and removing the door molding. I'm looking at throwing in a single turbo in her ( i heard) so if anyone can give me some direction with that, that would be great. I also want to throw on some socks and shoes, with a staggered, aggressive, flush look. I'm looking at black 18's with a polished lip, with tires. So if anyone can point me the right way as to what offset and wheel and tire size, that would be great. I don't want to do any fender rolling. Just a clean, sweet look

It was pouring out here today, so she's a little dirty. I'm having my detail guy come this week to clean her all up
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks, and here she is

Looks great, although that airbag looks a bit off.

Are you sure it hasn't been in any accidents?

Anyways....congrats!
