Looks a little rough from what I see in the pics but nice find nonetheless. The low idle? Is it around 500RPM? AFAIK many JZ motors do that from time to time, never found out why though (my 97 1JZ does it sometimes too).

Nice buy!! Congrats on the purchase! The first few things I would do to make it look better would be get it cleaned up really nice,interior, engine bay, clean those headlights, ditch that wood kit(IMO) and a nice dark tint job. Then you will have a REALLY nice stock SC.
Get everything tuned up and fixed that needs to be and then HAPPY MODDING!!

i wish i had a 97 manual!
Congratulations on the new car...
I hate to say this but I think ur front-end has been painted and most likely painted due to an accident. I don’t know there are a few signs and the one that is the most obvious is that cross bar that runs from one side of ur engine bay to the other, (where the hood latch locks into). I have owned 2 SC's and I have seen many more and none have that part painted... That part comes in black from the factory. So yours having white paint the color of the car kinda worries me. And I really don’t think anyone has that much time on their hands to just remove that one part and have it painted to match the car…
I don't know if you can do anything anymore about it, but if you can Id still bring it to the attention of the seller and see what’s up...
Hope this helps
