Default Lexus Parking Only :)

First nice day in a while and still too sloppy to do anything in the yard so figured I would wash up the Lexi (plural for Lexus perhaps) and post a few quick pics....












Just picked up the SC (1993 5 spd 80K $3,500) and have removed a full hood decal and a few pepboys fender scallops.....immediate plans are to continue to de-mod the exterior back to stock (lighting, emblems) and find a nice set of 18 or 19" wheels, do the T-belt, get some minor body work taken care of and that will wrap it up for this year....too many house projects to get to. Then next year probably go NA-T between 350-400 rwhp.

Haha....I will upload some before photos and you will see why it was a necessary first step.

The one thing I find laughable is that it is extremely hard to find quality stock parts

That's a common problem with SC's

But honestly its worth it to go back to stock and the SC looks pretty good stock especially 97 and up body.

Speaking of exus parking.

I parked here a few weeks ago.

Awesome house and rides! Nicely done!

I am also in a reverse build!

Good Luck!

There is NOTHING they could put on the hood of an 80K 5 speed that would deter me! (even an AFFLICTION MMA T-shirt)

All I can say is May i have it please? I want to make a CAPE!

haha...that was my thinking as well....an 80k 5spd sc an hour from my house was not going to pass me by...i dont care if it had **** carpet on the dash haha..

I also felt a little sense of responsiblity to clean it up and give it a new home.
