I can't remember if it was that guy or if he sold it, but sometime after Blair sold it the owner put the rear quarter into a wall when drifting. At least it was getting used?
I think you're right, and that it was repaired. I believe when Blair bought it, it had quarter damage back then too from the previous owner, so that car has definitely seen some use and been brought back to life a few times. I have pics of Blair taking his SC down to karting just after buying it in probably '06, rolling on Mustang wheels & with a fixed/primed quarter before he gave it a new green paintjob.
Pics stolen from FB - I think that's Justin in the background

I’m gonna be that guy and build a NA 2jz with ITB’s, it won’t make much power but I’ve always wanted one for some reason. And I know people are gonna be like oh you can make so much more power for so much cheaper, your wasting your money, etc. and I understand that but big power isn’t my goal and has never been my goal with this particular car.

Thanks man! It was like a unicorn find when I found it all those years ago. I like your protege too, like my car it’s one of the few that hasn’t been beat to absolute shit.
