Talking Hello. Bought a SC400

It's a 1995 with 144,744 miles on it. I paid $3000 for it. There are some dings and scratches but I expected there to be some a vehicle of this age but it's nothing that worries me. The front seats have rips in them but i'll swap new seats in eventually. I've already done a HID projector retrofit using e46 projectors and installed a K&N drop in filter. Power wise I plan on supercharging it, 5 speed swap, and headers. For now I will swap on my powder-coated IS300 wheels off my camry.

Welcome sir! If you don't mind, how much did the E46 retro cost to piece together?
