Stupid.. Krazy.. But Still 100% Elite! **56k **
Want to share my 3 week tear down and rebuild of 2 of my sc300s.
I basically tore apart (2) SC300 and combined the best parts cleanest whole parts from both of them into one right now.
my widebody sc300.
my blk sc300
I have decided to go different route and stripped the widebody off.
stipped my blk sc for parts and converted to stock and sold
Fixing the quarter panels at my homiez shop
Car is going into paint this week, still deciding on color. Full paint job on car.
Things going on the car:
Shine AC Kit.
New 19" Volk GT-S with correct offsets.
Car will be bagged and slammed.
6sp and 2jzgte will be getting BPU.
Ill post pictures when the the job is finished!
My inspiration and my idol is this SC300 i will have a complete copy of when im done....
After that its on to work on my 3rd sc300! Auto 2jzgte daily driver.

for the price of the widebody sc you bought... you could have gotten a dandy gte 6 speed swap to put in a completed sc... why start from the an sc that had pretty much stock everything except exterior and stock gte 6speed swap, and then take off the exterior? In my opinion the exterior work is more of a pain in the *** than an engine swap.

In my opinion the exterior work is more of a pain in the *** than an engine swap.
Here is why i did it.
1)
95 6sp = OBD1 btw it is a USDM GTE motor. SMOG LEGAL. finding a USDM is hell and making it legal.
97 blk = OBD2
easier to play with OBD1.
2)
I bought it cuz I know the mech that swapped the engine he has been my mech for the past 6years and i know his work is great.
3) 95 gauge cluster = modded with IS-F style needles
97 cluster your stuck with ugly orange needles.
4) Black interior is in better shape. I pulled the best peices from both cars black interiors and now my interior is 100% MINT!.
5) My blk sc300 is salvage title and the widebody one is clean. The not needed parts were all sold in classifields and i made back a huge gap in price of when i bought the widebody one. Making it very reasonable to do what im doing
those are few reasons for my decisions.

Damn you are really getting to work on that SC3. Most people would have just bought the white SC and be done with it. I've never owned a widebody car before so i can't really relate, but i can imagine driving around a car of that caliber definitely draws a lot of attention. So I can understand your motive. The interior on the white car looks so fresh from the pictures, probably the cleanest i've seen.
Are you going to paint the car black?

its a toss up right now... I work on my car to feel that it is mine. My work, my money, my blood, my sweat...I just cant stand buying it and showing off someone elses work.. makes someone look like daddy and mommy bought a car for them... I can say its my car.. but it wont feel like my car.
