    Recent pics, found some SSR GT7's for cheap, decided to toss them on for now, IS300 fitment, so they look like totally sunken battleship but at least it's better than stock

    19x8 +45, 19x9.5 +50

    -accident car, rear shocks were toast...one was bent and the spring wasnt seated properly.

    -bodywork was done horribly where the accident repair was.

    -minor rust forming in the rear quarters

    -instrument cluster not working

    -FILTHY, about a pot of coffee spilled in the shifter console, took me about 4 hours to pull it apart, take all the switches out and clean everything

    -hackjob hansfree car kit installed, an abortion of wiring under the dash

    -missing engine splash shield, engine bay filthy

    -front bumper curbed and cracked

    -brakes toasted (all 4 corners)

    -spoiler not secured to trunk properly

    -steering rack bushing shot, and unbelievable amount of play

    -front upper control arms worn, lots of play in the ball joints.






    it's all fixed up now, awesome daily driver / cruiser. already taken it on a few out of town trips and I love it.

    SO..... update


    went into the body shop to get some hail damage removed, as well as my trunk repainted and JP spoiler put on... I asked them to check out a little rust spot i saw on the rear quarter turned out that it wasn't just a little rust spot...


    The pics speak for themselves...











    So i've given the body shop the go ahead to fix the rust, they quoted me 7 hours of labor, so we'll see how it turns out.
