Default Guess what I got?

An sc thats what.

So i bought a 1992 sc300. White with tan interior.


The condition is very good but like any 1992 car it has some flaws.

The leather seats are kinda torn up, esp the driver side one where it has a hole.
Also it has a noticeable dent right on the rear bumper/fender. If anyone knows how to fix it, help me out.
The wood grain on the dash is kinda discolored and has a crack.
The AC is out as well

But the cd changer and stereo work.
So does the lcd climate control.
No damage anywhere else on the interior besides the seats.
All the guage needles light up, the temp one, might be starting to fail tho.
It doesnt have ugly chrome rims. They are a normal metal color.
130k miles.
Orignal owners manuel, wheel lock, and lexus first aid kit.
Master, Valet and spare key(in original holder)

All that for 4500. Also did I mention its a 5spd manuel

My mod plans so far are:

97+ tail lights + leds to retrofit
4300k hid kit.
Supra seats (highest priority)
3-spoke steering wheel
Rims (most likely is350)
LS brake calipers + rotors

Then sometime in the distant future get a v160/v160 and a 2jz-gte.

Has all the required maintenance been performed? If not I'd check into that before I install the "eye-candy".

But I love the DWP more I see it or maybe I'm biased cuz I have the same color.

For the most part yes. The clutch is orignal tho. The water pump n belt were changed at 90k, the brake pads are less then a year old, the tires looks pretty new.

I plan on changing the ps, brake, and coolant fluid anyways. Plus thats only like 40 bucks right there.

Should i change the transmission fluid? I'm not sure if the car ever had it changed.
