finished the LS last night. Well, its 90% finished. Just need to finish a few things and fix the mirrors, make the curtains for the GS, LS600h, Ody, and this LS.

Update on the GS soon..need to redo the lip and wait til new wheels come in the mail lol.

here the LS as promised.(Note: this body was produced in 02-03 so it's old, and don't have all the exact details like the bodies being made today.)

also, the head/tail lights are tamporary until i get the actual light buckets in(lights like the GS)

might not be finishing the GS after all guys. I got an offer for 100+ for just the body and wheels w/ no tires and i may just take it! Body is unfinished but i kinda want to finish it before i sell plus i put my own time and effort in doing this...what yall thnk? in reality, i really only got this for 25 bucks(free paint) and the wheels were free so...$75 come up? lol we'll see!
