Default Got another gs300!!

whats up cl. about a 7 months ago i had posted up here that i got a gs300. sad part is that i got into an accident about 2 months ago. i had my car checked out by one of my boys down in the auto department of my technical high school and they must of pulled down an aftermarket alarm system by my feet. well i pulled out of school parking lot. drove about a half a mile down tried to brake and couldnt. they did not secure the alarm and it jammed by brake. all and all it was my fault. But the good thing is i got a another one. just picked her up 2 days ago. shes a bit of a project but i dont mind. car came with some blown bc coilovers which im trying to see if i can have rebuilt. also has cross drilled rotors and factory amp bypassed. the biggest problem is that the guy had door handles shaved and he bypassed the climate control so he uses a switch that turns the heat on only?..ill figure it out lol. ill be on here alot more now. heres some pics

Good project, but in all honesty it looks haggard... The HVAC being rewired to a swtich? Sketchy... I hate hacks that molest decent cars for no reason.

How do you break an adjustable headrest in these cars?! [driver seat]

for the price i paid i cant complain about the work. i dont mind working on things like that. im getting rid of my supra and this will be my project car. the car has 98k, engine and tranny run strong. better than my last one which had 180k and felt very sluggage. my first priority is to do all the suspension work. from there i will move up to the the engine.

agreed look at the C-pillar on the pic where the door is open... and the same pic look at the orange peel/fish eyes paint. passenger front door is missing the inside of the door handle. only saving grace on this car is the interior....

so OP how much did you get her for?

Saw that after... not sure why it has two huge holes in the B-pillar, as if they were drilled out.

lol @ interior comment...
