1994 Toyota Scepter Turbo Coupe

This car was my project from roughly 2004-2007. I got it as a bone stock 4 cylinder Camry coupe that was gold with a poop brown interior and created the ride you see here.

I have also added a FAQ section on page 2 because I get a lot of emails asking the same questions over and over. So before you email me, just take a look over there.

10/20/2007 - THE FINAL UPDATE
Well, the day has finally come. I decided a few months ago to part the Scepter out after a few unsuccessful attempts at selling it. She's been completely stripped and sits in a sad state as she waits for the tow truck to take her to her final resting place in the junkyard. Goodbye, old friend. It's been real.

Super Street July 2007 issue: Reader's rides (haha- almost a feature)

And again in Modified August 2007. This time I got a full page but still no feature (haha).

The rebirth is here...
