My Budget Build IS300

My cousin was not into cars as much as everyone else yet he wanted to be. So we set out to find a platform that suited him. He said he liked the Evo yet i told him to research and find different cars. He came down to a Supra, which is a car many strive for when they start in the scene. I showed him a car in his budget and explained the whole 4dr Supra yatta yatta.. So from there on idea was sold.

We set out and found a 5spd. 50k miles on it. In his pricerange and for an excellent price i may add. I help out in the majority of this car. I make him do the research on my.is as well as isfanatics.com

I look up the parts front the money he pays me off as well as pays me off for the car. So with no further due.

So far here is what we have done:



Sold the hood to a body shop for 300$ and intake for 50$.

-Seibon oem hood $my hook up + $300 his money from selling his oem hood
-Ebay Intake $15 (Yes i know. but its till we do a motor swap or turbo)
-Ebay Exhaust $150 (Once again haha not a big fan but its what ever)
-Painted the headlights $35
-Painted rims black $25
-Custom made Altezza grill $55
-Painted taillights $9
-Removed dashboard and interior panels and sand/prep painted everything. $100Turning the whole thing black. (Not half *** job at all)
-Apexi WS Damper Coilovers 199$ plus $200 shipping from Japan
-Black doorpanels $20 plus $60 shipped from Japan
-Black rear seats $25 plus $150 shipped from Japan


When we first picked her up:


Painted the lights and did the grill:


Yellow overlays on the fogs plus the fog light mod:


After the hood and rims were done:


After the coilovers and such:





With much more to come sooner then later.. I havent took any interior pictures but i will so you can see the difference.

Thanks for looking,
Gary
