New 94 GS300 Owner... Project car.
Hello everyone, I am a new owner of a GS300. I am also a MkIII Supra owner... 
This GS was bought for salvage price, I got it off my neighbor who picked it up for practically nothing...
I will be posting more asking for your help as when I got the car we weren't sure if it would even run. Replaced the starter and when I went to start it there was a major spark at the battery. Apparently the terminal (which had been replaced before I got the car) broke off. When I turned on the key to start the car the radio was on and started playing until the spark and then after fixing the terminal the radio will no longer play... everything works except the sound. Also all the idiot lights come on after starting it. It takes a few seconds/minutes for that to happen.
Discovered that the Alternator is bad. Measured 19v at the battery when running. Also had a drain on the battery of about 2 amps with nothing on..... disconnecting the alt. cured that though.
I will surely be asking more and using this forum alot!
Grateful you all are here!!!
