What's up everyone. Name is Adrian. From Chicago. Sold my 240sx and picked up a 99 gs300. I've been looking for one for a min couldn't decide if i wanted to do white or black.


Couple pics of what use to be.




This is what i picked up.



I have a few plans for the car.

Thanks guys. Yeah the 240 was fun but i got tired of driving it everyday it was my only car. built that thing for 4 years did pretty much everything i could except aero im not a fan of it. swapped the stock ka for an s14 sr full suspension etc. . I'm looking to make the gs vip. coils and not sure what wheels right now but either a polish wheel or a bronze gt style. first "mods" will probably be tints, different tails lights, hid's, vindow visors and a roof wing. i probably wont be able to get wheels or coils until spring. But this thing will be slammed
