Hi Folks,
Finally pulled the trigger on buying a SC430, have wanted one for years so when one caught my eye whilst bored and on Auto Trader (never a good idea) that night I had it parked in the driveway.
It's a 2003, 95k with everything working as it should.
Not new to Lexus or Japanese cars, currently have a RX450h and CT200h and in the past have had GS450h, Mitsubishi L200 Barbarian, Subaru Legacy Spec-B and Mazda MX5 (NA 1990 Import, technically an Eunos Roadster).
Picked up the SC430 mostly as a project car, I've built track/drift cars in the past and I'm a professional detailer so plan to keep the SC430 as standard as possible and having it look like it's just rolled off the production line.
So far all I've done to it is a right good clean and lifted up on the ramp to get the full undercarriage steam cleaned then the headlamps wetsanding back to perfect clarity and ceramic coated.
It's also been to my local garage and been poked and prodded beyond what a MOT does and only thing that was uncovered is the rear brakes would be an advisory.
Next on the list to do is a refurb on the alloys, get rid of the ditch finders and put on some good tyres, new brakes all round then carry out a full machine paint correction then ceramic coating which I'm aiming to have done by the end of April.
I also film YouTube videos for my work so have already started a series of vlogs on the project as I go along.
Cheers,
Ross

That doesn't even bear thinking about, sore enough getting it caught in a jacket zip! Lol
