The Story

This car is one that I want to keep. I got it in February 2022 at a reasonable price. It needed some help with a few repairs. But once that was taken care of, it was time to modify it to my liking. I installed some simple but nice Enkei ts-5 wheels and just recently swapped a 5 speed r154 from a jzx100. The entire swap took 2 and a half days and was entirely worth it. Recently someone crashed into me, totaling the car for what was not that big of a crash. So I had the perfect chance to spice things up with a candy red paint, as well as a new front end and tail lights. The cosmetic work was done professionally and I love how it turned out. The color is based off of the newer Lexus infrared paint, which is a candy color. I changed the base coat to a metallic base for more flake.
