Default What ever happened to ScottURnot?

Here comes the part out!











NOT! (I do have a lot of good stuff to sell though)

Guess I have really been a lurker lately. Just no progress on the Lexus and frankly no real motivation. She has just sat and set waiting for me to get back to her, wow, wish chicks were like that. LOL

Anyway, thought I would post up and check in with all of you and just let you know I am still here. I have been busy building a lot of stuff, just not the Lexus. That said I am starting to feel a little motivation to get this beast running. Grant (JDMmuscle) and Ryan (SC400TT) have recently brought their SC400's to life and that is breathing life into my project. I have been picking up some new parts here and there and feel like this is the year for twin screw 4.7 to breath. My boys car has really been taking a lot of time but the car is calling me.

Was out in the shop this weekend looking over all the parts, engine, interior and brakes, Damn this car will be sweet! Guess I hadn’t looked at everything for awhile. Been in the shop cleaning and organizing getting ready for the build, just installed a new 18CFM @180psi 80 gallon compressor, new Burr-king belt sander and a couple more roll away tool boxes. I feel like I can actually work out there again.

Just thought I would jump in and make a thread to say I'm still here.

I'm ready!

Hahahah I like this thread... Sounds like you have a lot to do. Also sounds like cleaning up helps make things feel better.

I was wondering what you were doing for the past several months good sir. I swear if you get rid of your SC the world may just come to an end....haha. Glad to hear there will be progress on your SC made sometime soon. Watching JDMmuscle make progress only means that in my eyes Scotturnot has to do the same as well. Looks like I will have to be on the prowl for whatever goodies you plan on selling soon again. Only the best can be expected from you....haha. Good luck and can't wait to see the progress!!!!!

I feel ya. I lose my motivation to work on my Lex all the time. What I sometimes do is try to come up with something creative and exciting to do to my cars that doesn't have anything to do with the parts that are frustrating me.
For example, yesterday I mounted a 1uz engine L badge to a piece of black painted aluminum, then stuck it to my air bag to cover the Toyota logo. It was quick and easy but it got me motivated. Food for thought for future reference

Its good to hear you're gettin back to work on her. The XUZ-FE builders are a rare breed.

I was wondering what happened to you. I thought you had sold your SC since you never post on here. It's great to hear you've still got it.

Good to see the OG's still holding on

Man, I felt bad about my Soarer being undriven for the past 18 months I decided to give it a full detail (but still didn't drive it, stupid broken single-spinner...)
