Smile Just picked up a gs300

In the past I have owned two sc400s and have looked for a clean unmolested sc300 for months. I guess it wasn't meant to be. So I moved on looking for different platforms that would suite me annnnd voila I found a clean title 2000 2gs. Picked it up a couple days ago with 111k. Not a bad deal I guess. Has many light scratches on the surface and a gash on rear bumper. Door acculators need replacing. I look forward reading and searching info on this sub-forum. Hopefully I will learn as much as I did on the sc forum

Going to miss the styling of the sc though..

Update 7/2/12

Picked up a damaged set of 19" work eurolines 2 months ago. Fixed the bend in the driver rear's inner barrel, but wheels still need to be refinished. Now i have a 4x4 look where you could literally stick your whole fist in there .

I recently ran into a dilemma in which to purchase first..
- megan ez or sage coilvers
- full set of 30mm rcas
- refinish my wheels and relip rears to 3.75 - 4in"

Let me know your opinions! Really need help
