ProjectJDM - JZZ30 Soarer 2.5GT

Hey boys and girls,

This is my baby... a 1993 Toyota Soarer 2.5GT. I purchased this at the end of 2001 (after graduating from high school). I was actually looking at a Z31 Nissan Fairlady Z or an R33 Skyline GTS25t but that's all history after I took one of these for a drive. I was on the hunt for the perfect Soarer when I was told about my one that was on the water (i.e. from Japan to Australia), had a look over it when it arrived (before it got registered here through a dealer) and snatched it up before anyone else could.
