i dunno why i said c-pillar....we both know i meant b pillar and yeah that DEF looks haggard (love that movie btw)

i would have bought this for the interior than set it on fire....i like the shaved look but i cant imagine they were done correctly since nothing else seemed to have been. if he paid over 2.5k it DEF wasnt worth it....hell i dunno if i would have paid more than 2k for it. i cant imagine ANY maintenance has been done to it

yea the car itself is a big project. but i dont mind it. im 17, got a decent job and a gs300 has always been my dream car. it might take some work to get her looking back to good but i got time. not rushing anything. the suspension needs work which is first on my list. then i will worry about the body and interior. And surpisingly yes there was maintenance done on the car, tho i will be going over redoing everything because honestly i dont trust anybodys work.

i have no problem with the people telling me the real, i myself know the car is a project. i got it for a dirt cheap price for this reason. this is my new project car seeing as i gave my supra to my dad and now have my hands clean. supra forums is bull****. now they are banning people for no reasons. and most act like *******s because most have money. mods are horrible. at least we have good people like davegs400 in here. gonzy just got banned without any warning and explanation of why. and sethron has yet to get his old sn back.

he cursed him out after the fact of being banned , and i dont even think what he said what reffering to the mod..hell i would be pissed as well if i got banned and did not get a warning. i myself have bought off of gonzy and met him at wall stadium at formula drift and he is a honest good guy. same with sethron. yet he lost all his years and years of reviews off a ban that he got no warning and no info on. its sad man

Looks like another old cl members car, screen name "curry ". Maybe you can find some history on it by doing a search. Good luck getting her in shape, it will take time but you'll get there

Scratch what I said, looks to be the real McCoy!

This car definitely has some potential. I forgot it was Curry's.

wow...some crazy stuff, you guys are good. at least now i have some history with the car. I know it will take time, and thats what i like doing as a hobby. my full time job is a machinest. i could of picked being an auto mechanic but i love it too much for fun and could see my self slipping away from the real fact of the matter. like they say, the shoe maker always has the ugliest shoes. im finishing up my junior year in high school so this summer i should have a little more time doing what needs to be done.

the previous owner after curry pulled alot of things off and did alot of half fast stuff. i understand what curry is saying about the suspension. the car rides rough. the bc coilovers are blown and it bounces everywhere...but the friggen car moves. it accelerates faster and smoother and my brothers is300 and my old gs300. ...seems like curry was a good guy. after reading his build it inspired me a little bit more to get this thing where it should be haha
