Basically just wanted to start a thread to document changes. Car is a 1992 sc300 bought it with 148k Miles now has a little more then 160k. Replaced quite a few things when i first got it then neglected it the past year and finally got some motivation to do some work to it.
So ill start with a few pics of when i got it 1.5yrs ago and show where its at now and try to stay current with it.

SORRY FOR PHOTOGRAPHY SKILLS..THEY ARE HORRIBLE

anyway lets begin.
Ugly stock wheels, yellow hazey lights and old tint pretty good interior though





Ok so that was a while ago since then i have installed new headlights highs and lows and cornering lights, painted dash sem black installed 99 steering wheel purchased a set of 19" rims(19x9.5 all around 245/35F 275/30R) need coil overs!! right now have supra na suspension.
Ive pretty much gutted the car right now while slowly putting the interior together with minty parts and will be doing suede head liner and probably the center console lid and rear deck. but that will come..anyway this is how the car sits today..

new lights


steering wheel/dash


carpet before cleaning(will be cleaning hopefully tomorrow)


hopefully i will get a good amount done this weekend and put back together
have my rear rotors coming in tomorrow so ill get some pics of that..

oh yes a pic of how the car sits now(only had the headlights installed in this one) not to shabby for $59 dollar a piece 19s eh?

thanks, the bottom plastic pieces aren't at all but the seats themselves are def, a little more wear now on the driver side, but hopefully will be replacing with black though and will sell these when the time comes.

Not crazy about the wheels but soooo much better than the stocks. What are you plans with it for down the road?

^ the wheels where $59 a piece brand new($300 shipped) so i couldnt pass it up plus a nice 4" lip..not the best rim but definitely happy with them, once i lower it more and maybe add a spacer to get them a bit more flush ill be happy enough to take care of everything else.

as far as plans, finish doing full black interior, coil overs, paint and na-t.
surely other minor things here in there like upgrading audio a bit but nothing crazy..considering a carputer since im good with building computers etc shouldnt be a hard task for myself but so picky about a touch screen.

ive heard that mentioned before after buying it, but i installed them anyway and the car is definitely lower..not as much as i want but noticeable from my stock setup and they are/were in pretty good shape when i got them.

and thanks for the compliments , i got started on a few things today but waiting on fedex man to show up and carpet to dry so i can start the tan to black process and install my new rear rotors and pads..definitely needed..will get pics up asap..also have to install my hid's for my highs that just came in yesterday...quite a bit to try to get done before its dark tomorrow , i have a feeling ill be going to work with a cluster steering wheel and one seat.
