Default newbie here

Hey everyone, I won a 93' SC300 5spd. The color of it is black, and so is the interior (which I love). This is my first car and actually shouldn't have been. My 88' Supra had alot of trouble underneith it and didn't want to pay so much money for fixing, nto to meantion I still was saving up to do a 1j swap. So anyways, all those plans failed and now I am sellign the car, and instead, I decided to go for an sc300 and found a perfect one.
p.s. - pics will be up later today.

Welcome! How did you "win" it?
That blk/blk 5-speed is as rare as it gets!

That's not black interior. But it looks good without it too.

At first but it's all been fixed, got a new head gasket, arp studs, and got the head cleaned up very nicely. No, the car had rod knock, spun bearing, and some crap happened also which I don't remember not to meantion underneith the car has alot of work to do also. I don't have the money for this so I gave up on this project and I am getting rid of it.
