Smile Bringing back a GS from the dead...

Hello all,

Most of you will not know/remember me. I have a Junction Produce (legitimate) GS300. I got it way back in 2004, drove it and modded it, in 2008 I started to do a GTE swap. There wasnt too much support for the car back then (swap wise/shop wise) and it sat through and went to a few shops (2008-2013). The vehicle since then has been sitting in my garage since 2013. Finally after years of sitting Im bringing back my baby. Hopefully this time around again it wont sit for too long. I will find some photos and post them up. Since then I have still kept some type of lexus and modded it. I went to a LS430, did full junction as well, then in 2012 did up a 2013 GS350, then to a supercharged LX570. Along the way I had a few others, lifted GX470, and now I have a GSF.


I will update on here what will happen and what goes on, thanks for reading.

Hey! It’s good to see you still have the GS. You’ve had a nice variety of cars since the GS.

So are you still in Vegas? The car was in Queens and you trailered it across the country? Or was it still drivable when u moved? That’s pretty cool if you moved the car with u, so often people abandon or part ways with their unfinished projects when it’s time to move. I usually try and sell my furniture and buy new stuff when it’s time to move, just so I don’t have to deal with it… haha

It wasn't dead, just resting. I hope you already got the GTE part of your GTE swap acquired, given price increase that came with Covid. Clean looking car. It's refreshing to find posts here that didn't originate as a google search to trouble shoot problems on the ragged out $1,500 car I just bought.

Your GS looks incredible! I’ve never actually seen it before but I really like it.

I didn’t have a GS back when I used to see you on the LS forums.

I feel like the GS is the sexiest timeless design ever. Still looks great in 2021, amazing. I love the LS but can’t really say the same about it as far as looks.
