Default Codename: NaStYBoY

Well I am back with a new build thread and a new Renaissance Red 97 SC300. This makes SC number 4 for me. I am taking it slow with the build as I am focused on getting established in my career. Here are a few pics as it sits. It needs paint mainly but everything else is sound Stay tuned...Because 97+ lol

Thanks man, I'm more focused on being stable. Cars will always be here. I should start posting updates soon though. This time I'm buying parts first and once I have everything I'll install at one time to knock it all out

Thanks man and yeh I'm no stranger lol I've been off CL for about maybe a year or close. I've literally taken these cars apart and put them back together several times. I love these cars and trying to replace it with another car just doesn't work lol. These cars were way ahead of their time and the exterior is timeless. This one I will finally proceed with a swap and full suspension components. I'm not half doing anything and I want to shed some lbs as well to accommodate the feel and power I plan to put down to get rid of the boat weight. Everything from getting rid of the OEM front seats to replacing the rear seat material with something lighter than leather will be done. Also from the pics I need a paint job obviously lol I'll be sticking in the reds but I won't be doing Renaissance Red because I don't like the gloss red look. I like the pearl metallic look so that's what I'll be going for, but just stay tuned

Welp I ended up leaving the car to it's original due to a few reasons. Went to pick it up and it sounded like a lawn mower and wouldn't stay running. I could smell excess fuel being dumped and the interior was TRASHED Car was left sitting outside for 3 months with door open. It was bug infested with roaches and armies of ants running in and out. Wasn't the one for me and I wasn't willing to take on the headache. All money was refunded. 6 months later I've found the SC I've wanted from the jump Original unmolested 97 Platinum Metallic with OEM black interior which was garage kept and a grocery getter. Car looks immaculate as if it were off the showroom except the low beams and fogs lol It's currently in my garage which I'll be uploading pics along with a new thread tomorrow I'm the 3rd owner woohoo
