Default 92 sc300 just picked up

Needs some work but taking one step at a time.
Started the interior as you can see going with a black and brushed accents.
As for exterior either going black or blue because the old man gold has to go.
Rims will also be changed just happen to be wearing them when I bought it.
1jzgte clip is due in by the end of the month and that's when the real fun begins but until then I'll create my shopping list and knock the interior and maybe exterior out before then.
Anyone with interior parts specifically door panels, trim, and seat trim pm me.





Leather is actually in good condition just needs a cleaning.

Looks good. Love the transformation to the black interior. The wood grain pieces look so familiar. :-)

Yea all the black transformation happened pretty fast I picked the car up Friday and made it that far by today. Any seat recommendations, leave them, get covered, buy black and swap in, or aftermarket. Dibs on ur steering wheel

Thanks. Biggest problem is finding the black parts. At this point I'd probably even take tan door panels for now and paint or wrap them and leave leather part of door panel tan, seat leather tan, and maybe te bezel around the radio? Any opinions or if you find or know of any parts let me know

How much did you pay for your SC?

Thats a great deal. I bought my 92 Sc300/ 1jzgte swap for 5,000. Runs great, but I think it should be running a lil stronger ( when I karate kick the gas pedal she doesnt take off as fast as she should; but when I ease it in she is a beast). Im waiting for some coil packs to see if thats whats cauzing the lag. But I havent had to pay for anything else so far. Been driving it for a month and only problems so far is a mysterious small coolant leak that seams to spill every other couple days. I havent figured out where it's leaking from, so, Im hoping it isnt anything major. Hope all goes well with the swap.

I've had my '95 SC300 for almost 10 years, and have gone through two radiators (I'm on my 3rd one and am now not having problems). The factory ones (radiator and the hoses) burn out in these cars around 100k miles on a pretty standard basis. Just a fyi so you don't get stuck in traffic and blow out your engine. Keep a close eye on that temp gauge.
