A little update, got me some fenders, quick fixed some of the scuff marks and got a fuel door. Getting closer to 1994 again.

Welcome to CL!

There are quite a few guides you will find in the DIY section to take care of almost everything you'll need.

Did you also pick up the lower door mouldings with that?

The 97 + ones are different from other years.

Looks weird without them if you don't have them.

Picked up some is250 wheels until I get the work wheels I want.





Fitted the 97 skirts to the car, had another member flake on selling the mouldings so I have to track down some more or have a buddy fab me some up.

My only advice would be to fix all mechanical problems first. I made the mistake with my first SC of doing dumb mods like a $400 radio, when it wasn't running good. Audio means a lot to me though. So before you go buying interior parts, and radio goodies, make sure it's 100% reliable. Check the history, previous owners receipts, and go from there. Seafoam, spark plugs and wires is a good start, and pretty easy on a mechanical level.

Also Sewell Lexus has great prices for ClubLexus members. If you need OEM parts they're a great place to look.
don't seafoam, it's used for 2 stroke boat engines. get actual injector cleaner, motor flush, and other engine cleaners.
