Default My JZS147 project.

So I Came across a pretty good deal on a 93 GS300 and i decided to jump on it. I also have a 99 GS400 with a few mods that I really dont want to mod much since its my DD. Anyways the GS300 I picked up needs new paint, rims, seats or covers and a very good cleaning and tune-up. Oh yeah i also got to get a key made since it was lost, car belonged to my friends dad who let it sit for a few years.

And now on with the pics and ill be updating this thread as i go.

MY 99 GS400 (silver on black)



And now THE PROJECT GS (blue on gray)


I thought i had uploaded a picture of the front but i guess not. Ill post up a pic tomorrow and so far the car has no major damage, there's one dent on the fender but it can be popped out and other than the paint its in pretty good shape has a less than 100000 miles. That's it for now and ill post up as i go along.

I finally got a pic of the front uploaded, and as far as mods i probably wont do too much, yeah right, I mainly want to give a good drop or slam, new paint and freshen up the interior. Also thinking of doing hids in the front but a retro of some different projectors, I definitely want rims for the silver GS and ill throw those 17's on the 300 till i can pick up another set.

Anyways heres the pic:


So far Ive pulled the seats and carpet (this pic is when i first got it), except the back backrest since I didnt know the gas tank was up against it, but ill still pull it out, it needs to be redone too. The plans are to gut it out, except dash, and then start sanding and prepping the exterior for paint. ill post pics up as much as i can.

twojayzee: yeah my silver GS400 has a black roof on it ill try to get another pic of it so you can see it better.

Wicked09: im trying man, ive sanded down a little bit so far and got the interior out. im gonna do more sanding this week and hopefully paint it this month, after that i need to save for some better rims than the stock 16's.

ill get up more pics later this week hopefully.
