You should be commended on rescuing a beautiful car. Good on you Sir.

It is also the kind of work on an SC that I wholly approve of, not that my approval carries any weight for anyone else. It boggles my mind when people start screwing with what I consider the very nicest car I have ever owned, including BMWs, MBs, etc..

Excellent blog post. Great detail. Awesome photos.

To OP re: bad radio reception.

When i had my windshield replaced i think the guy mentioned there's an antenna ground that connects to the front of car somewhere...not sure if this may help but thought id mention.
Nice car

Not just a ground. There's another antenna in the glass. Might not be there if it was an aftermarket replacement vs a Lexus OEM windshield replacement.

Been debating doing a color change on mine ever since day one. That blog post was really motivating to see how it all comes apart!

Nice looking car you've got now!

Well done Sir. You took a hound from the pound and gave her a good home. Love the colour combination. Congrats
