Default My Soarer... Work in progress...

Hi all,

I have a 1991 Toyota Soarer that is a work in progress.

It needs a bit if work in every aspect.

I'm currently looking for:
-97+ foglights
-97+ front grille
-95+ taillights
-91-96 front lip
-full leather interior black or grey

Plans:
-full restoration inside and out
-ls400 bbk
-single turbo (have Holset HE351VE Variable Geometry Turbo)
-find blitz access ecu and rechip (standalone if funds allow)
-GReddy LS fmic or similar
-2JZ bottom end (refresh only - just need the torque)
-Torsen LSD
-New coilovers (Possibly going to try the Megans)









I picked up the car in fairly rough shape. I'm slowly (key word here) fixing things here and there. Once my S14 is ready to drive, I'm going to park this and go at it.

The plans for this is to make it a comfortable, quick daily driver. So no clutch type lsd's, no laggy turbo, and not so many mods that will make it temperamental.

Basically, how I would have liked Toyota to have made it within my tight budget.

Anyways, if you guys have a line on the parts i'm looking for, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks.

My god, it's actually a Soarer when the title says it is! Typically it's an SC300/400

Very nice Soarer though, man.
