Default This is just the beginning!

Whats up fam? I'm not new to club lexus but this is my first sc300. I previously owned a 94 gs300 with a single gt40 2jzgte swap. I ended up selling the gs and picked up a 92 sc300 with a gte swap. Interior, exterior, and engine need some help but I know for a fact this car is in good hands. I have already done some window tint and replaced some interior parts that were abused. Also did some LED upgrades to the interior. I ordered all the interior parts that were missing and cracked and beat so i'm just waiting for the goods to come in. This is how it looks so far. The chrome around the windows and the pillars have all been repainted black but have not taken recent pics. I will be posting updates as I get to them. The rims are 18 inch veilside andrew racing deep dish rims that I kept from the previous car i owned. I am going to give this car a facelift and then some. Some will agree with my style and some wont but i'm always open to suggestions. Sorry for the lame pics guys. I'll make sure I take better ones in the future.

Thanks bro. If I played my cards right today (and I usually do) I should have a nice upgrade for the engine tomorrow afternoon. Will post pics if things go in my favor.
