Hi guys!! Once I get the dents repaired, I'm going to work on sanding all the clear coat off and then ls400 bbk shaving the antenna, shaving the rear badges and maybe a wing too. After that I'm gonna use my 20mm spacers to fit my stock wheels over bbks after that imgonna lower her a couple of inches and just cleanup and maintenance

This car is all stock so compared to my 2000 that has intake exhaust and stuff is sluggish
I pulled some of the dents out already, not even registered the car yet

Her is a shot, I can't upload multiple at once from my iPhone for some reason.

Totally understand your excitement about the new SC. I just found a "time capsule" condition 1998 SC300, only ONE pencil eraser sized ding on the ENTIRE CAR, 116k miles, pearl white on tan, gold emblems, seats in near perfect condition (just a few "creases" in the driver's seat), but flawless all around, AZ car (no rust), 1 owner (bought from the original owner). I am THRILLED! The VVTi feels like it has a little bump in torque, it's hard for me to distinguish performance gains from the 99 SC400 I just drove; the 400 felt stronger when in gear, but the shifts took SOOOOOOO long that it almost felt slower than the SC300 I have, and that is with "POWER" ECT mode on both (and of course, both VVTi models).

Plans on my list, Aristo 2JZ-GTE VVti, Supra stock USDM turbo's and Supra A/T ECU...then MAYBE, a Suprastick
