Default Ahhh... my new "old" SC400

Well I took my leap today and purchased my first SC 400 project car. Picked it up for $1600 from a guy desperate to sell. Ahh now comes the fixing but in all actuality not too bad of shape...The engine and transmision is great and very smooth even with a meager 203k and so far I found it needs a suspension makeover, the bushings are pretty bad to the front rack and pinion and it needs new shocks and maybe struts in back, Needs a brake job, It has a tee tiny leak to the oil pan and the rear main seal needs replacing as well, and finally a small exhaust leak but not bad just annoying. Now to the lil stuff The right drivers window was broken out and needs replacing. I hear its complicated...any opinions and #2 is the speedometer needle is stuck at 0 and doesnt move ever; even with banging the dash. all other guages work well. So whats up with that? any ideas???...... Here are some cell phone pics, I'll add more in the morning.... Alright ladies and gentlemen whatcha think?

Thats what I call a steal. All those things mentioned above can be fixed and everything can be fixed on here by searching by DIY. Welcome to CL.. !

1UZ - I'm in keller, and can't find anyone that's has glass for my window. You have any ideas?

To everyone else- I agree it was a steal, I'm pleasantly happy so far. I just tested my 12disk and to my surprise it still works so that made me happy LOL! I'm on the hunt for a window today and just ordered my bushings... woot!

Thats a great deal! I remember when I bought my SC, it was rare to find them under $10,000 in good shape!
