Default Shef's 1100whp '93SC400 Rebuild / Makeover

So I've decided to keep the lexus and figured it was time to for a makeover. Plan on going through the entire car and wanted to share with you guys and this would be a good way to be more involved with the SC community. Will post as I progress.

Currents pics...

Progress? looks done to me. Would take me another 6 years and $30,000 to build one like that.

Thanks guys, but it is far from where I want it to be. I recently painted the engine bay to match the exterior color, but now I'm not sure whether I want to keep the car the same color.

Anyone good with photoshop? Would like to see my car a few different colors.

Definitely is intense and I've never experienced anything like it.
