Signing off... still plently more to come and please feel free to ask anything, suggest anything, and give tips and pointers... I've never worked on an SC OR any car like i am doing with this car but i do learn fast... My biggest achievement was doing my rack and pinion(to all the experts i know this must be easy but for a guy in my situation... it was a PAIN. I could probably do it really easily next time but MAN it was tough and it took a me a whole week... anyway stay tuned...

REAL QUICK... If you look at the HALFWAY shot of my car basically naked in the front... look at the ground between my rotor and jackstand... that dirt came from inside my fender... and that is what i call STAGE 1 WEIGHT REDUCTION. anybody need a DIY write up on that let me know...

Oh i cant forget... Thanks for the compliments everybody... I have to admit i was kinda feeling down about the car from time to time but im actually really starting to love the car and one day maybe purchase another either with a 2j already in it, or put a 2jzgte into an SC. I LOVE the toyota J engines... my brother has a markIII and swapped is 7mge for a 1jzgte. LOVE IT!... wish i had it but wanted to go a different route.....FOR NOW -=)

real quick... like i was saying befor the guy who sold this car pretty much half ***ed the sale which is prolly why it was quite easy to talk him down to 2 stacks flat... the interior was dirty as freak... looked like he never cleaned it at all... there were old crusty M&Ms under the seat and old fries and all kinda nastyness... as far as the interiors condition... not tooo bad... the front seats have BIG cracks lol
the rear seats are worn but not torn...
I plan to do something about the seats later... more worried right now on how the car rides...
The left door panal was a bit saggy when i bought it and it kinda drove me crazy
Didnt wanna mess with it at first but as you can see below on the right hand door the interior door handle was broken... but that is now replaced with a good one... and when i ordered that door handle it came with extra screws and since i had to pull the panal off to change the door handle i figured i would tackle the saggy door to find out all it was was a loose screw... Tightened that up and now theres no more sag! -=)
