Default trailer park wife 93 SC300 rebuild

This car is battered,tattered,and rough. Interior is dry rotted leather, and cigarettes burn holes. only good part is the headliner but it is smoke filled. The outside of the car is in bad shape rust on the rockers, and front fenders are rusted out. The center console, and dash make Nuns slap themselfs and pray for an exorcism. The engine and chassis have 223k so the engine will be getting the most T.L.C. i think i have ever given to a car , girlfriend, and my body.

So here is the plan bought the car for next to nothing. Needed a rear subframe so I got one as cheap as I could 220 shipped to my work dock high shipping ftw . seemed decent but, it was better then 600 from the dealer. So in the process of buying the rear subframe I was like time to build that sucker up with some parts since I have it out. so I hit up the good people at Battleversion.com for the rear subframe bushing kit. Let me tell you this rear end is going to be hard then a guy at an old folks home when he looks down the nurses dress. Along with the other things I have instore for this "creature". The car can look ugly as hell if it wants I will be drifting the car most of the time. It will hit k-rails,and spin out, and breaking many times next year! so build the hell out of it in the down season. My return to RWD cars has begun

plans: (so far)

Optima yellow top (in the mail)
Motor swap (1jz) Nocturnal Motorworks / JDMHookup saint peters, MO
Supra tt manual tranny swap Nocturnal Motorworks / JDMHookup saint peters, MO
Hit up a good friend of mine that works as an ARP distributer for all my needs
PBM coils
Gut interior everything gone but the dash
Full cage (next year) Nocturnal Motorworks / JDMHookup saint peters, MO
Aero body kit (next year) Nocturnal Motorworks / JDMHookup saint peters, MO
Custom vinyls from k'netic graphics out of saint peters, MO
Battleversion.com (laundry list of parts)
Supra front hubs (wisefab next year)
Rear over fenders (next year)
LSD (not sure yet been looking) (driftmotion)
Relocate battery to rear of the car
Bigger radiator, with dual electric fans
New rear axles (driftmotion)
New drive shaft (driftmotion)
Rota grids (drift spares)

Pictures to come uploading them tonight please note this isn't for the faint at hart. also if your prone to seizures then look away after 9:00 pm central time the pics will start going up. After I get off work.

Everything can change in a matter of days, and minutes. so stay tuned if you want to watch the **** show begin.

thanks for your time.

At first I thought I was reading a description of my recently purchased project car. Haha. Mine is pretty tattered, but mechanically and structurally solid.

+1 on the trailer park wife SCs!

Good luck on the build!

I live down the road from Nocturnal Motorworks. Hope to see this car around. Most SCs in our area need lots of TLC lol. Most cars in general actually.

holy hell Batman its rust! you diabolical S.O.B!


yet another thing to replace GREAT!


Get it right, Get it tight!


2000 subframe no rust 20,845 on the car! I'm trying to get more parts off this car as we speak!

a few things to rememeber about the build is the car's engine runs good, transmission good, rear diff good, suspension good, and exhaust is good just needs exhaust gaskets.

thanks again!

The epic uphill battle starts! My interior was shot just like yours and trunk was worst. How much you get the car for?
