Default Bye Altezza...Hello Soarer

Whats up Clublexus!! I am selling my Altezza to build a Soarer. Anyways on with the Pics.

Here is a pic of my Altezza that I am selling



Altezza in its current state:



I bought this thing so I can go race:



I traded the above car with this to use for parts:



Bought this car to swap most of the parts to:



The Soarer is a 1J Automatic. I swapped the wheels from the Altezza, put a cat back exhaust on and am currently in the process of ditching the automatic mission for a 5 spd mission. Suspension/diff and other parts are also in the works.

Some Progress:







After lowering it... I know I need to wash it





The inside it dirty too... I know this....

Thanks for the comments guy's. I know I'm going back in time but actually the Soarer is more luxurious than the Altezza for its age lol... I could have done an engine swap in the Altezza but it was going to be costly and plus I really don't have the down time to swap a 1J or 2J in it. So it was either a JZX90 or a JZZ30. I couldn't refuse the deal I got with the parts car so I choose the Soarer route. The mission and diff swap is happening this weekend. I will post pics after!!

Never wish such a thing!!!! BE HAPPY TO BE IN JAPAN, I could have only wished I was stationed there. Enjoy!!! Amass a bunch of rare parts and then bring them back to the states for everyone, or start shipping things over for SC folks here on these forums right now!!
