Default 92 5spd slow build

My name is Christian im located in Las Vegas i got my 92 SC300 5 spd about 3 years ago
and have slowly done things mostly maintenance which i dont have pictures of.
The car has 264,xxx miles on it still runs strong.
slowly been doing mods
heres the car i got it with my old rx7 oh and sorry for the crappy pics




it is lowered on PBM coils
Then I added factory front lip and 97 skirts i have done things like polishing all the lights
, painted center console black, waterpump timing belt etc etc.


next stuff to do
have ls400 brakes that im going to rebuild
going to do metal door handles have the handles already
new seats hopefully supra seats
quite a few interior parts need to replaced
new temporary wheels to refinish the wheel currently on it
97 rear bumper w/ extentions or rear lip(ccant decide)
eventually a 1jz swap with r154

will start getting more detailed pictures of progress work from here on out

so saturday night decided to rebuild my ls400 calipers i got a while back
all taken apart i decided to split them people say you dont have to but to be honest i think it is easier if you do in my opinon.

and putting the pistons back in and getting them all back together

and done it was pretty simple and straight forward


sunday morning i decided to take a drive to pic a part ive gone three times proir with no luck of any SC's but yesterday was a different story stumbled on this 93 sc400 with grey interior well some idiot decided to rip the door panels off and the map pockets on both doors but still managed to score some goodies for my car


got some headlights because mine have broken mounting tabs plus gives the ability to bake these get them cleaned proper with no rush because my sc3 is my DD.
black console bezel
rear deck cover with grills mine came apart in a million peices when i took it out so havent has one for like a year haha
and seat belts mine are frayed and nasty
got everything for $60
