i bought a perfect running car with some minor cosmetic damage like yours i was contemplating fixing and selling. i decided to use nicer pieces out of it to put into my sc im also hanging onto some of the parts i think im going to have an issue with so i dont have to search/pay for them later on.

just my 2 cents hope it helps with your decision

Again my Question is: With $3000 what motor and trani would be best if I could keep it under $3000 to do the swap? Also would need to go to manual cause its Auto now.
if u have $3000, why not use that to buy a clean sc with less miles. then sell the one u have now for at least $1000 and use that to start modding it? just an idea because its no fun dumping money into a car just for repairs. i did that with my 1st sc. i only paid 900 for the car and in the year i had it i probably spent 2xs that just keeping it running.. def. not worth it

Good find man, even with the problems...I would definitely keep it if I was you. The beauty of our cars, is taking a forgotten LEXUS and bringing it back to its original state or better! Good luck bro, keep us posted too!
