Default Back at it... Driving an SC again with some cool ideas

Well im back... Its been a few years since I've been in an SC. Unfortunate circumstances [My 09' GS350 getting stolen] made me hop back into an SC and since I've never owned a 400 and my local craigslist had a 95 Red with Black interior 400 I jumped at the chance for a project since I got out of the game and I missed modding.

I should be turning this until a build thread as soon as I have something to show off. The car is a bit rough around the edges but I think I have a pretty solid idea of what I want to do and what it'll take to get me there. This is the way I'm heading...

* Fix tilt on the steering wheel.
* Clean and detail the interior.
* Tint Windows
* Upgrade Lighting Interior and Exterior
* Install Double DIN, Head Unit and Upgrade Speakers
* Get an inspection and start repairs.
* Go wheel shopping.
* Dial in suspension and handling.
* Get aero, fit and install.
* Paint the car.
* Upgrade and add modern touches and finishes.
* Source parts for and install a CD009 Manual Swap

Maybe in the far future ill Swap to a newer UZ swap or do something cool like tune the current motor.

After driving a newer car for a while I miss some conveniences like push button start, plush interior, navigation and premium sound. But while driving that car I missed sportiness and a third petal. With this car I want the best of both worlds. I hope with the build I can be as detailed as possible so I can contribute.

I hear that...

But, If you have the whole setup, whats holding you back from installing it and then just selling the few things you wont need if you decided on going the JZ route?
