Default Officially Official Again

Well after parting ways with my 92 SC3 a little over a year ago I am back in the game again. I picked up this 00' SC3 that deff needs some help. But a few months and some sweat and I should have this baby better than new....

Thanks guys, in the pics and now during the late afternoon/night the paint looks real good, but it looks like a respray and not very well done. The roof is a bit faded and the driver outter door trim seems to be lose/broken. The interior leather is pretty shot front and rear as well as the arm rest, steering wheel and driver door arm rest. Engine wise is rough as well, vvti sensor seems to be "stuck" so I got a real rough idle and over all needs a full tune up and brakes.

Its not that from what i can tell in the pictures . The leather is kinda shot for being only a 2000 model. I am sure the heat and the lack of care had to be reason. I am sure you have plans t make it like new again. Glad your back and maybe this time it will be for good!!! Jk!

Sorry I said 2000 the car is really a 99 and yes I agree the the leather being the way it is was due to poor up keep and not having tinted windows. The plan for the interior might be what I always had in mind with my old SC which was to swap in a set of SC430 seats and just redo the rest of the needed areas at local interior shop. Which is now MUCH easier since the interior is already black. And then just the basic run down of mods for the rest of the car TT brakes, Tein Coils, Blitz Exhaust, front lip, 19's,smoked tails,sway bars, then the good ol boost..... what did i get myself into again lol
