Default finally bought a SC

after 7 yrs of joining CL, i finally bought my first Lexus. she isn't the prettiest thing but I love her. She a '92 SC400 with 244,xxx miles but runs strong and smooth.

Needs:
-The B-pillar needs to be repainted
-front lip needs to be removed
-needs to be clay barred and waxed
-interior needs to be washed
-engine bay needs to be detailed

Whats been replaced by the previous owner(has reciepts):
-power steering pump
-timing belt
-water pump
-tires
-tranny fluid
-radiator

As for mods, I'm just gonna do a drop and wheels for now and probably paint it black. this is probably gonna be a long term project too.

Curious why the front lip needs to be removed...from the pics posted it looks fine.

"welcome" finally to the club. That was 1 of the 3 colors I wanted but never could find one is respectable condition.
