Big Thanks to Skrapper, GSX, and NismoNaabSpecV :tup:
I posted a little bit before but I am into the process of restoring my SC300 to its natural beauty and thought I would share some photos.
Backstory: I have been looking for a manual trans SC300 for about 5 years. Most of the cars I found were very well modified or simply haggered. Both ok, but I wanted a clean slate to work from with a skys the limit attitude.
I found a 1993 SC300 5spd black on tan with 80k on it for $3500 about an hour from my house.
With very little hesitation I bought the car, despite it being someone elses version of beauty. I saw loads of potential and with some work, I could get to that clean slate I wanted.
Have had it for about 2 months now, and the photos will bring you current. Wish I had more photos but most of the time working on it has been a whim and I forget to bring the camera out with me.
Starting Point
Previous Owner had a thing for yellow…everything under the hood was yellow…all brake components were yellow…now they have all been cleaned up and painted with a gloss black
One nice day about a month ago I cleaned it up a bit (on old wheels and yellow brakes)
Now we are into the progress…
Stock headlights back in…will do High Beams when the bumper is removed for paint
Maintenance Items
So far - Timing belt, water pump, valve cover gaskets, distributor O Ring gasket, new radiator, cam seal gaskets, new brakes all around
Modifications - 18" Work Rezax II wheels w/ DDC lips
I will update as I move forward into the paint work.
