Default Spectra Blue GTE Swap + Manual Swap + interior swap
Found this 1998 GS300 with a broken timing belt on craigslist. So I decided to rebuild it.

Close to a year. Feels good to be out driving this thing around. Grew up watching/looking at other people's build threads. Finally got to complete my own.

My previous gs was in a wreck so one of the g35 wheels were cracked. My friend let me borrow a pair in the meantime while I get another wheel, which I have already. Just haven't taken updated photos.
