Thanks everyone for the nice comments. After I crashed the first Lex I was pretty bummed out. Almost everyone on the forums said build another one but after the first SC getting stolen, then in the NA-T , hitting the deer, and finally totaling it my friends told me to stay away from SCs get something else. Now that the car is done I'm glad I decided to go ahead with the process of stripping down the salvage and getting the new SC one done. I paid more than I wanted to for the SC to begin with and there were some cost overruns but that was to be expected. There were a lot of electronics to install, the old turbo was crushed by the shock mount pillar, and the AT to MT swap had to be done. Now my buddies think the car is pretty bad *** and more importantly I am happy with it. I'm even going to have an HRE Spare tire! hahaaha! The spare wont clear the front calipers.
What is this car worth?

I'd say the car is worth a small fortune at this point but damn these cars are getting harder and harder to come by, well one in this condition and miles. Really glad you decided to rebuild....looks awesome.

No Prob !!
Steve is very good with the SC model, either its NA-T or 1J or 2J swapped. SR motorcars has moved to Gardena now. If you need dyno tuning, engine building & swapping, call 310-516-1003. Either ask for Steve or me (Jerry). If you guys needs any parts (coilover, ecu, exhuast, turbo kit, anything) for your lexus, let us know too. We will give you the best price.
