I feel that way sometimes. I think I may buy another low mileage SC someday and leave it mostly stock. I would probably put Supra TT wheels on it and that's it.

Thank you, Alonzo. I have 3 sets of wheels I like to rotate around to keep things fresh, however I would let the Supra wheels go if someone was interested.

Got rear ended a couple of weeks ago. Didn't think it was that bad until we pulled the bumper and trunk lining. Turns out it has frame damage. It was classified a total loss last Thursday and taken away this morning. It sucked to see all the work I put into it drive away on a truck but I can't afford to buy it back and repair it. One good thing is they valued it at about $2k more than I thought they would.

Very sorry about your car. We can become very attached. Just purchased a 2003 Absolute Redwith white seats and would cry!

Went to the j yard expecting to pull a bunch of black interior pieces out of a 1996 silver/black SC400 only to find out someone beat me to it. Ended up finding an ash tray insert that I've never had the opportunity to find in any SC I've seen at the yards in the past.

Decided to keep my SC. I tried selling her but realized my car brings me joy everytime I drive it. Time to continue my project. Coilovers and exhaust next.

Finally got the chance to spend a day working on my car. I reinforced the window trims by epoxying washers to the window trims to secure the bolts, and used some expanding foam in the cavities of the trim. It makes the window trim more rigid and best of all, no more rattles! I also finished up my tail lights and sealed them today.



I washed my car and installed them, but it was too dark to take pictures.

That sucks man. Did you pull out all your custom audio stuff to save for another SC in the future?

That's an interesting finish on your trim pieces. Is it a vinyl overlay?

Yeah I got all my stuff out. I was actually in the process of rebuilding the system when it happened. I made a new box, pulled my seat and was making a beauty panel/mount for the box and speakers

Thanks. It was my first car and I had a lot of good times in it, sucks to go out like that.

I hope you're going to get another SC, so your hard work doesn't go to waste.
