Nice price! I paid $1400 for my 1996 LS400 and I thought I got a great deal

Build is looking good so far!

anyways know on to other stuff.. well i didnt like the brakes and i felt the rotors needed to be changed, so if i was going to do rotors, might as well do the pads, so i got all 4 new Meyle Platinum rotors installed as well some new premium pads too...

im going to be working on the interior now.. i took a few snaps of the torn up steering wheel, and drivers door which has a gash. Im going to get the wheel re wrapped in the same blue-ish color leather, and also the shift ****, while trying to have the door repaired... im aware that you will still see it there after the repair, but anything better than how it is now will do for me.

Thanks will keep you posted with some more pics after wards.

BTW, the brake master cylinder needs to be replaced, and also the high power steering pressue hose needs to be replaced. Will be getting to those also this week.

i feel as if this thing is like a brand new car.... i want to keep everything under 5k but i may be going over just a bit.

Wow your progress is awesome. If I were you I would find the wood steering wheel and shift ****.
