Default My 1999 ES300 * FINISHED *

Well... where to start..
The engine was put in yesterday and today was the day to finish everything off.
I Replaced battery connectors, put in windscreen wash liquid, put in oil, put in coolant, degreased the whole engine and cleaned out the boot ( trunk ).
Cleaned the lexus carpet mats, cleaned leather and then cleaned the head unit.
Put on new 17" lexus OEM rims and that's about it
Except the " low oil " orange light is on despite the fact it is full and not leaking...

I wouldn't know for the life of me.
I will find out though because my uncle had them in his garage and he gave them to me.
I only know that they have 15 spokes, and that they are 17"
I'll get back to you with some info hopefully !

Are you sure it's not an oil pressure issue?

It shouldn't be a pressure issue because this car was having that issue before the engine was swapped out.

Awesome bro!!! I just did some google searches and can't find them for the life of me D:
If there is any info you can find on that, I would love to get that!

Definitely want to see more pictures of your car in entirety. And the inside as well!
Keep up the great work!

I can "legally" drive my car on Tuesday because i don't have registration yet.
I'll try find out, i am not sure if it has any brand/model number markings on it :\

I would have uploaded pics of the interior but the glove box wasn't in there as we did some electrical work !

I'll get back to you very soon on the rims, they are nice !!

Please post more pictures of the whole car, preferably the front 3/4 view, so we can see the wheels a little more.

Default ES300 Finished *picture*

Finally, after everything is done and dusted I have my Lexus 1999 ES300 ready to go.
She is beautiful.

And someone requested what type of rims they were..
I only managed to find the marking of " JJ7X17" on them.
