Just closed the deal and paid for a 150k mile stock st165 from out of state. Just waiting for it to ship. Going to get it fully 100% roadworthy and drive it for the next year or so while I get and build up an st205 swap to put into it.
Left rear wheel well has the normal toyota rust. Found a patch panel, so I'll get that knocked out first. I have a body guy who owes me a ginormous favor for some work I did for him. Other than that and a couple of small dents in the front fenders that will also be addressed, the body is clean. As far as any body mods, I'm only going to tint the windows. I love the way the car looks stock.
After that I plan to flush every single fluid out of it and do any needed repair/maintenance that I find. As far as what the car needs, the previous owner says only the struts/shocks are wiped, so coilovers are going to be one of the first orders of business, probably followed by wheels/tires just to get the car sitting nice.
Once we arrive there, where would you start with bolt ons? Are there any "must have" mods for the st165?
Keep in mind that I will be driving it, so it can't be stuff that will put the car down longer than a weekend.
