Default A Build Of Her Own!

After watching and helping build my future hubby's VIP LS 400 and his many other cars. I have decided it is time for me to build my own. I love the SC 300 and was lucky enough to to pick up this clean 1993 SC 300 with 148,000 miles on it. Every thing is stock right now so I have a lot of work ahead of me. The body has a few (5) tiny dings in it that you really have to look for to see. The interior, as most cars in Las Vegas needs a little work. The leather on the driver's seat is trashed and there is a crack in driver's side door panel.

Plan of Attack:
First I have to get rims and suspension.
Not sure if I'm going to do the 97 bumper and taillights or a body kit.
Before you ask the engine and 5 speed conversion will be last because the minute I do it my future hubby will steal my car!

Here are a few pictures. (coming later today)

Welcome to the SC family, sounds like you're off to a great start! 148k...that's really clean, and don't worry there's still plenty left on that motor! Trust me, I'm at 275k on the original motor! lol

Been very busy here are a few pictures.



Interior:

Rip in the drivers seat but other than that there are no issues.

And of course we can't forget my highly skill team of detailers and of course Inspector #9.

Inspector#9 found a spot the detail crew missed. Lucky for me they both like to get paid in icecream.
