    Gsquat's 92 LX

    Hey. Just picked this up for a grand the other day. Has 226K on it but runs flawlessly. It's a 5 speed. I've got great plans for it. I've had what I want to do to this particular car in my head for years now. So now that I have the money, means, and the car, it's time to make it happen. I'd love input. Thanks for looking.

      Planning on taking care of rust/dents, fresh black paint, front lip, maybe rear trunk lip, drop just an inch or two (not too much), 15" or 16" gold wheels with chrome edge, clear corners... I'd like to keep it simple but still have it catch your eye.

      Not sure where I want to go with the engine right now. Obviously I'll do things like open up the exhaust and intake, but for long term I've contemplated sticking with the F22 and rebuilding it to last another 230,000 miles or just let it be and save for an H22 swap (or something of the sort). With the way the car runs now I'm thinking I'd be fine building something new. Never done a swap before so I'm a little intimidated by the thought of that...

        I'm sure whatever way you go with it it'll be nice. Don't be intimidated by a swap... there are hundreds of guys (and some chicks) on this site that can help you with whatever questions you may have.

            Oh please don't paint it. Especially yourself. That paint looks in excellent shape from what I can see.

            The whole car looks great though. Any more pictures? Maybe some interior shots?

              Oh I wouldn't be painting it myself. I'm going to have it professionally done. Gotta fix all the rust around the rear wheel wells first.

                  Why wouldn't u want him to paint it? The car is black and he said he wanna re-paint it black so he's pretty much all the way nice. 18 year old paint job could always use some touching up.

                    I loved it when it rained when I had my supra. The paint was fading but when it rained it looked great .

                      So I'm fixing the rust around my rear wheel wells tomorrow. Got the sedan patch panels to use.
                      Here's the passenger side behind the bumper. Bad, but not as bad as the driver's side.

                      Here's the driver's side. I already cut out a large portion of rust from in front of the wheel well. The only hard part to shape is gonna be the area I marked on the photo. The sedan panels only provide me about a 1 1/4" face from the edge. The rest I can go flat across.

                      Here's the driver side behind the bumper. Bad. Real bad.

                      If there's anything I should know that you think I might not before going into this, please let me know.

                        I don't see a whole lot of hacked 92-93 grilles so here ya go. Hacked, filled, sanded, and primered. I like the rounded sides as opposed to the 90-91.

                            I've been juggling between white and black. I know it's gotta be perfect body work to be black, but I've always been drawn to it. I do like white too. I'm a monochromatic kinda guy. Just picked up some clear corners, cd5 mugen front lip, internal antenna so I can shave my existing one, and some ebay coilovers that will be accompanied by some kyb adjustable shocks. Don't worry. I wont put the springs on until I have the shocks.

                              So I've since cut out my shape for the driver panel... (this was before I cut all the rust out)

                              Set the panel...

                              And now I'm into the bondo stage...


                              Still got a bit to go on this side, but the other side will go much faster. Want it painted within the next couple of months.
