Default Saving a Black sc400 from the grave .

So while cruising on craigslist I found this black SC400 , sitting for 2-3 years nose deep into a black berry bush







when i Finally got her to our shop and got her up on jack stands and slapped in a set of stance coilovers





Her on the ground





same day I replaced the quarter glass and spent about 4-6 hours just cleaning it inside and out





And my buddy Aleks from DeathSquad ordered these up for me without me knowing lol , On a boat from japan land right now!

18x9.5+17 and 18x10.5+17

How impressive a car can be with just a bit of elbow grease to bring it back to life ..... how stiff are those stance coilover's? Love the wheels! whats in store for it?

Well I had 2 set of these wheels come in so i still gotta swap the faces of the white ones to the grey , so its sitting on 18x10.5+17 up front and 18x10.5+12 in the rear , waiting on tires to come in to play around with the fitment







My buddy that comes to the shop offered to do bags on this so I am tempted lol
