Yeah it was a pre 95. I got them for 50 bucks because strobes had been put in, so there were holes drilled into the housing. Other than that, they're in great condition. I got a bargain!

I say you got a great deal and the Sc (Teal) has a good home. The headlights look brand (fantastic) new after your dissecting/cleaning.

Hey, 50 bucks for both lights-nice find! Work to restore, and clean up-PRICELESS

Amen guys! I've started teardown on my old headlights. Going to use paint stripper to see if the chrome is still underneath, if not, any color suggestions on the inside???? These will be for sale when done, unless I want to do some LED modding or if someone wants to buy already disassembled. Give me ideas! And thanks for all the good comments!

Well longgggg time no update, so here is one. I've been very busy, but here are the new plans. I purchased some OZ Racing F1 Cup wheels from a friend. Specs are 18X9 and +45 offset, so that means I will be running spacers. I was going to polish them, but that takes wayyy too much time so I've decided to paint them silver. Here are pics of where I am at...



I started with this. I did not like the paint job at all.



And since my original plan was polish them, I stripped the paint off.



I then started to polish and realized I didn't have the time for that. Right now they are sitting in the basement and are all sanded and ready for paint! (Which will be soon.)



Also I went to a few car meets...



Some of my 240 buds.



Didn't expect to see this...



Another Supra showed up...



Then the guy next to me opened his hood.... Over 900HP...













It was a small meet at a local shopping mall.



I was over at my relatives house and found out my nephew knows how to make his toys have nice wheel fitment as well!

So other than that I hope on getting those wheels finished soon, I also plan on purchasing some suspension (not sure what yet) when the wheels are done, and I also have the Lexus scheduled for body work soon. I got a new fuel door and mirror for paint soon..



That is all for now. Any questions welcomed!

Thank you! Hopefully the SC is headed to the body shop next week, which means I have to get the wheels done soon, and which also means I need some suspension soon. So when it goes in, things will start moving along good again.

Probably just going to stick with stock, it's out because that whole back part of the car is getting painted. I like the stock 5 foot antenna tower hahahaha
