Ok since Im not driving now, lol, I can give a more elaborate post on what's up with the car. I picked it up in Naples, Tx where the previous owner had run off the road and slid into a tree damaging the right rear quarter panel, passenger tail light, and right lower control arm. I picked the car up on the 10th of this month.

Friday the 17th I purchased another tail light and lca from another 93 sc400 and got a killer deal on both for 45 dollars. Same day I installed the lca and knocked out enough of the quarter panel to fit the new tail light. This weekend I will be trying my best to pull as much of the panel as I can so it wont rub the tire while driving.

Weekend of the 2nd of march ill be registering it and inspecting it to go back on the road and also taking it for alignment and another tire.

That interior alone makes it worth the purchase. My $800 car had an ok outside, powertrain needed nothing, but the interior was SHOT.

I see someone's Starion/Conquest in the garage too!
