i like this thread.

but i must ask, why start with such a rough/rusty SC?
92 sc300s with straight panels and minimal rust are getting pretty damn cheap (sub-$2000).

Lolz, For the $600 bucks I bought it for in running condition, and limped it home in a hurricane 150 miles, I'd say that qualifies as sub $2000, wouldn't you agree?

there's a man's car, and there's junk . I believe there's a BIG difference between two

I not sure you know the difference.

Why don't you try building a car yourself to find out!?

You could make your own thread in like, two minutes! Why don't you go do that?

If you want I'll even teach you how to weld!

Snowed 6" last night I'm going to go drifting!

Actually i'm working on my 92 too ,but i wont make a build thread until i finish it, but i do document it for future thread. I have a family to take care of and don't have much time for my car , unlike you young guys spending all of your checks on the cars and living at home ,lol

Welding can be learned especially something so controlled as a tig welder, that's no problem for me, but since you are exalting your self in your skills , i think you went way too far on your car. In the end it will still have that rusty metal on the inside,since metal doesn't grow. You are basically polishing a turd in my book, even though its only MY book, i believe it has a lot of common sense.

I used to catch heat from these **** "Lexus" owners ,but i guess i found my self on their side this time ,lol

But i wont talk crap anymore since its your thread, and your car. I give you some props for good craftsmanship!

Thanks for the civilized response.

I don't give a shyte what it looks like, plus I am 30 with no kids, and my own 15' Door 2-bay Garage Apartment/ Small business. Rare breed I guess.

Body work is easy. I mean, really easy. 16ga sheet metal is cake.

Welding the Diff, JZX90 Chaser wiring that no one has decoded, Manual pedal swap, R154 swap, Downpipe fabrication, Steering shaft replacement, oh and lets not forget hauling that POS lump of a 2jzge/Auto trans out of the car to begin with, are much much harder.

Now that all the hard crap is out of the way, I can do the stereo, make it pretty, blah, blah.

All I care about is the noise that comes out from underneath the hood, and that two tires spin!

Plus if I told anyone how much I actually have wrapped up in the car, I could never sell it for any profit!

Havin ALT issue today, it won't switch on. Back to work!

There's nothing too ghetto about it, it work for what your intended purpose is! Its not a $2k LSD but it works! When it breaks, re-weld it. I wouldn't recommend it for a daily though. Horrible tire wear and slightly unpredictable in the harsh rain.

However, like tonight it should be warned...

If you know how to drive, a welded diff will be more fun then you can handle. Watch out for perma-grin!
