Hi hows it going.
names josh,just picked up my first soarer,a Lexus SC400.
Anyway...the cars only done 98000ks but was involved in a minor accident in 06 By the first owner over here and has been sitting since...
The bloke i got it off(being the 2nd aussie owner 3rd in total)sourced the parts(well some) to repair the front end,He had a go at getting it together but it basically just looked complete but wasn't,he also added a bodykit.....

So with most of the cosmetic stuff sorted
...I ended up with his half finished project!
I'll be trying to get it complete and running over the next few weeks and hopefully get it up and running for daily duties again!

Will post a few pics of it when i take some.
cheers,
josh

Three years is a long time for a car to sit! Still its a Toyota so I'm sure it'll come back together.

Yeah, I'd be giving the whole car an over haul.

Few grands worth at a bare minium!

yeah i know 3 years is a while....iv'e done the leads an oil & filter change so far.
The bloke at bursons said i wont need to change the plugs until it's clocked 100000ks but i wanna do em anyway to be safe.

Got it booked in at Computech on friday....they specialize in imports,computerized vehicles(obviously,lol)and such....I told them it's been sitting for a while and what i've done so far But hopefully they can get it sorted for me.
Then its just a matter of paint and finishing the bits the previous owner half arsed!!
No S*#t looks like everything the guy started he half finished....there's screws n bolts missing everywhere......should be fun!

Josh, get rid of the [img] tags at each end of the url.

copy the url

hit the little thumbs up icon at the top of the posting box... paste in the url

this will insert a code into the text box

add the next one to the bottom by repeating the process :-)
