Default A few pics

I got a fresh paint job and completed my black interior swap on my 94 SC300.
The car is stock for now. Sorry about the crappy pics.
I need to get some better wheels and lower it some. Other than that the car runs great.
I added the OEM body pieces from a 99 SC300 and some 95 tail lights.
I have some 96 LS400 front calipers to install as well. I think I will wait until I get some better wheels.
The paint job is the 202 black with 2 coats of clear. The car actually a whole lot better in person.
I got the mint black interior complete out of a wrecked 99 SC300 with 45K miles except for the seats. I got the seats from CL member preston145 out of his wrecked 95 SC300. Thanks buddy.
I will get some 19" wheels and lower the car some and go from there.
Main thing is the car runs real smooth, no rattles or squeeks just smooth and everything works.
Will keep you all updated on my progress.






I borrowed the Konig Wheels from my 85 300ZX, they are 17x8 +24mm offset. The suspension had not settled as yet.

That looks great! The black interior is very nice as well. If you don't mind me asking, what did you do about your old headliner? Did you leave it tan/gray or did you swap it out with a black headliner.

Looks great. As you mentioned, wheels and a drop would really enhance the look. I'm super jealous of the new paint job and mint black interior.

And i see you've done something to the front wood trim piece.

Nothing better than fresh paint.

I don't believe black OEM headliners exists, at least I haven't seen a black interior car with one, including my 98'. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The headliner is the same color as the speaker covers on the rear tray.

Thanks for the positive comments all. I am really enjoying the car for now until the boost bug bites me again.

The headliner and sun visors are grey in color. Sun visors even has the homelink buttoms.

How much did the interior swap cost? I'm considering selling my mint tan interior and paying a few hundred bucks more for a good condition back interior, but never know how much more I'd be paying..

I'm also interested in this. Also, where did you find the wrecked SC? Aliga?

I got lucky, found a mint 99 SC300 with 45K miles that got hit hard in the front locally. Complete interior except for the seats for $450. I mean I got the carpet, mats, door panels, headliner, sun visors and all the seatbelts. Everything, including the 3 spoke steering wheel, dash, dashcluster with 45K miles. Sides skirts, rear bumper and all trim pieces for an additinal $200.
I then sold my tan pieces for $300.
I traded cl member preston145 an intercooler setup and some other turbo parts plus $150 for his 1J swap and got all the seats in mint condition out of his wrecked 95 SC300.

If your tan interior in good shape it may be cheaper to paint everything black with SEM. Just an idea. I did that to my 85 300zx. Came out very good and still holding after 4 years.

You should put in a gated shifter. That would truly finish off the interior.
