Thumbs up Introducing my JZZ30.

As some of you may remember, my SC400 was hit in a parking lot and damaged on the passenger side - extensive cosmetic damage but nothing structural. Insurance declared it as a loss and I have been looking for another SC400 since, but I haven't been able to find anything in similar condition locally.

The other week I was driving and spotted this Soarer parked in a driveway, so I stopped to have a look. I had seen it for sale months earlier but didn't know if it still was on the market. I left a note in the door and received a call two weeks later -- turns out I was in luck. After going for a test drive, I couldn't pass it up.

It's a 1994, original 5-speed car, fairly optioned for a TT, but missing the sunroof. The front and sides have been updated to '97-00 and the rear is a replica Vertex piece I believe, along with a few other mods that make the car quite fun to drive.

Here's the first few pictures of it.

congrats dude! you should've told me about the accident. i had a parts car at home but its gone now. i think you can still get the fender and door though. but its DJP so you'd need to repaint it.
