Goodbye Gen 3.5 I'll miss your mpg.

So i bought a 1992 sc300. White with tan interior.


The condition is very good but like any 1992 car it has some flaws.

The leather seats are kinda torn up, esp the driver side one where it has a hole.
Also it has a noticeable dent right on the rear bumper/fender. If anyone knows how to fix it, help me out.
The wood grain on the dash is kinda discolored and has a crack.
The AC is out as well

But the cd changer and stereo work.
So does the lcd climate control.
No damage anywhere else on the interior besides the seats.
All the guage needles light up, the temp one, might be starting to fail tho.
It doesnt have ugly chrome rims. They are a normal metal color.
130k miles.
Orignal owners manuel, wheel lock, and lexus first aid kit.
Master, Valet and spare key(in original holder)





All that for 4500. Also did I mention its a 5spd manuel

Very nice find, especially the miles and 5 speed. For the seats, some junkyards might have better condition ones from a newer year or get some nice aftermarket ones like Corbeau:P Local auto places should have a leather repairing kit, but were the spot is, it would not hold and last for long. The dent near the back should be a simple fix. You just have to remove the trunk panels and other small plastic pieces to see the body. The same way in any Camry. You should by a turbo kit for it, get some rims and a front lip

First mod is HIDs.

For the seats I plan on just buying mkiv supra seats.

As for the turbo charger well i already have a 2jz-ge in there, i could either slap a turbo on but honestly i will just swap it out eventually and put in a jdm to usdm conversion 2jz-gte. But thats gonna be in the distant future, plus i would need a new tranny r154 or v160/161.

Rims, i plan on upgrading just because i cant fit bigger brake calipers/rotors onto the stock rims. I am prob gonna get bronze rims since that color looks sick on a white car.

Then i also need a 3 spoke steering wheel from a newer model lexus.

No dude, that chick isn't standing there just for the picture, that's her car. And yes she do part time modeling too. She's a "certified" modder in the sc community, check out the webpage.
