Default Picked Up Canadian GS300 w/ Hard Top and Cloth!!

Hey Guys,

I just picked up my new project car. It's a Canadian car. Silver GS300 w/ Hard Top and Perfect Cloth interior. I love this car so far.

I haven't had time to take pics yet, but here are a couple from the guy I purchased it from.




I plan do to an NA-T like my SC300 or GTE Swap.

I will update with more pics tomorrow!

Here are a couple pics of my last car.

Ended up with a PT61 Turbo and 97 front conversion and 19" rays (G35 wheels)









Plan is something similar. I'm going to use an ETS turbo kit and intercooler kit for sure.

I got to say quite the opposite over here in AUS.

And to the OP, nice looking GS you picked up, interior shots?

Looks like a clean ride. Out of curiosity did you seek out the cloth interior and no sunroof when looking for a GS or did it just find you?

More pictures of the interior please, I have never seen the cloth one!

I got no sunroof or heated seats but I got leather. LOL. I came across my car in Salt Lake City and was originally bought in Cali.

The car is 100% bone stock right now. I will post up some pics when I get home if we still have light.

I was looking for a car with no sunroof, and it happen to have cloth interior, so it was a double bonus for me.

I actually work for ETS (Extreme Turbo Systems) So I can plan on building a turbo kit shortly for this vehicle. We already work with Internet Brands on a couple other forums, so we will be sponsoring this forum shortly.

Thanks Everyone!

Was it made specifically for the Canadian market or was it bought by a Canadian in the U.S.? I don't see the headlamp washers.
