Gs300 From Rags To Jdm Riches

[nonamecc79]

Yoyo, my names Pratik and this is my build of my MK1 GS300. I bought it to replace my prelude VTi which lovingly blew its head gasket






At first I was gonna use it as a runabout car but it seemed to good to be a work-horse. I picked it up with 94K, MOT till March 2015, and full service history for £300!!

This is how she was when I picked her up:




The cup-holders were broken, the shifter area had lost some of the walnut vinyl, and at night I couldn't see how much fuel I had left:








None the less, I done the deal and jumped in feeling like an old man. But once then it hit me; I had a 2J block under the hood!!! I had great expectations which slowly dissolved as I brought her home.




As I parked up next to my Supra I thought to myself that there is no way these to cars share the same heart!! So to try and cure my doubts, I pulled out the back-boxes to give it a better tone. I took her up to longlife in Bicester to get the job done.

I got ****** off by the way my photos weren't coming up properly so im gonna continue in another post. The exhaust looked a lot cleaner and sounded much better



And that's pretty much how she stands at the moment. I'm debating whether or not its worth taking it any further.

You did well there Pratik, that's a lot of car for £350! I'm sure that you'll get those small problems sorted very easily, keep us posted, this could get interesting?

Im debating whether or not its worth going on. My heart says yes but my common sense keeps asking "is it worth it?" lool

Done a quick Oil change last week and I cant say it made a big difference but its better to be safe than sorry




The results were quiet disturbing if I'm honest. The oil seemed gooey and grimey
