So I went down and had a look at that SC300 today and it was in perfect condition aside from the obvious body damage. I offered the guy 5k but he said he needed the grant money so I felt guilty and gave him the extra 500 bucks. Got it towed home as his rego ran out a week back so It'll just be a project build for now.
Hope to just have some fun times with it, fixing it up a little and making it a little more to suit me. Also hoping to maybe take it to a drift track day and get it sideways and one day maybe even make some money off it!
From the first proper inspection back home, these are some of the things that I noticed it has.
- Stock running gear all around (Shocks, springs, sway bars and all that).
- Aftermarket rims which are un-named but I think they aren't legal for road use.
- Bog stock 2JZ-GE but with a TRD gasket cover which is actually quite nice.
- Interior is full stock but it has a Surpa wheel which has the airbag fully connected and all that.
- Some aftermarket battery which has a pretty sketchy mount.
- Crappy rice-ish aftermarket side skirts which will be the first thing to go.
Ill post a to-do list tomorrow with some new shots of the car in the sun as well.
