Talking Jdm tryout

Well, ive been working with hot rods for a looong time, im a fabricator, and always like jdm, but never really get into it, now i did...
i bought a '93 Lexus sc3, for $300, the car was a non runner, no power even with new battery, the car was stopped on the lady's driveway from about 8 months at least,
i've figured the problem, still in her driveway, jump the busted main fuse, check oil and gas, and start the car....she didn't look happy when i did it, but....

take the car for home, and did a few stuff to it, change power steering line, that was leaking, change power steering cooling line, that was crushed, probably because some crash on the driver's side,
update the old wheels, im using volk gt-n 18", 2 pieces forged, cheap coilovers, just to set a better stance for now....(after the wheels it was looking like a off-road
car, with the stock shocks and springs)

but the main mod for now, its the brake system, ive score a set of AMG calipers and front rotors from a junkyard, Brembos, 4 pots in the front, and 2 in the back, it was from as ml63 benz,
decide to try it, im a fabricator, and adapt brakes, its just another day in the office, so yup....ive make it work....and the results are on the pictures here.....

That's a killer bracket that you made for the AMG calipers. The new stance, brakes, and wheels look great. Looking forward to seeing where you take this bad boy.
