3rd Time's the Charm! Crispy SC300.
 
Well I have finally outdone myself, I got a gem. Finally.

One owner Car. New from 1993, original Title never been transferred 117 miles on the paper.

The leather smells brand new, and based on how people are using the 1-10 scale when it's assembled is easily a solid 9.5/10 based on the seam on the driver's seat, and some stains.

The body is a wingless Royal Jade Green. No rust anywhere, which is rare for a new england car, must have been garaged it's whole life as it shows. 8.5/10 on that based on a blemish on the lower passenger fender and a few dings, this thing is cherry!

The center piece is a 92k mile car currently, and it's original engine built with new bearings, rings, seals, timing components, oil pump, water pump, MTL head gasket, and ARP studs, this thing is ready to rock. Never been overbored, and the crank was only polished.

What can I say?! Take a look! :woohoo:

Very, very NICE!

Nice find, brother. Nice.

spoolxexo Sep 9, 2012 02:49 PM

Thanks guys! I am really excited!

I think a Borg and a QSV will make up most of the build.

Awesome, keep us posted buddy.

Ali SC3 Sep 10, 2012 11:49 AM

I like it, love to see a 2jzge getting some cleaning up! GL with the build.

Looks like you are off to a great start! Good luck.

Lol when i saw that pics , it reminded me to your engine when we did the HG.

BAD954BOI Sep 10, 2012 01:38 PM

now we are talking...
the vision is headed in the right direction...

spoolxexo Sep 10, 2012 04:49 PM

Yes it's staying automatic. And I never would have considered this route if it wasn't for an engine basically begging to be boosted.

I think I sold my sc400 to buy parts for this thing, who hoo!

your cryptic timing belt marks that appear to be 2 teeth off made my head hurt for a second. everything else looks great!

levie Sep 11, 2012 05:56 PM

looks like fun! good luck with the build!

Joey-E Sep 11, 2012 07:48 PM

This is actually how I got the car, built and ready to go back together! They looked fuqqued at first, but it's really like a magic eye.

I have enough parts to get the car running minus the downpipe.

Should I get it running NA as fast as I can get it together, or should I just turbo the car since I need exhaust parts anyways?
