I came home from work yesterday still upset of my car being stolen from me on monday morning. Well, in my driveway was a 1992 SC400 it was black and it was my baby. yep she came back to me, someone in my family put up the impound money and now she is clear and free and all mine (no more lien or legalized theft). Im looking forward to being a member here once again. the dealer even put $60 in the glove box to replace the marijuana that the repo guy had stolen. it wasnt $300 (total amount of $$ and weed stolen that night) but the thought counts imho

I wen't to two junk yards today to see if I can salvage any interior parts. Unfortunately the four SC's they had were demolished, I feel bad for anyone in any of those accidents, and I've been in 7 accidents myself so I know how bad they can be. Didn't find any parts worth keeping aside from a one wheel well liner which the guy wanted $20 for and it wasn't even in that good condition so I just left. Kind of depressing seeing SC's in that state.

Anyway I removed my rear seats, and all the old audio installation wires which were a big mess. Removed the stock sub which wasn't working although I tested it and found it to be in working order just not connected properly due to the last audio install being sketchy as hell. Removed a few rear panels, and passenger door panel. In the process I stepped on one of the rear seat belt plastic covers and broke it....that sucked. Removed all the trunk interior. Found a small puddle by the amp which is probably the culprit for my poor *** audio quality.

Just getting things in order so I can do a clean audio install in a week or two.

Installed new LS400 brakes, and sanded my gold emblems with scotch brite to give it a brushed stainless look. Hard to tell from the picture, but the emblems look great.
