Default 95 ls400 project car

after looking for months and months on a cheap decent ls400 that doesnt have 250+k miles
i found one at a insurance auction that i picked up , car had 145k miles 1 owner timing belt and water pump done at 114k all service records by lexus , best $800 spent

here are a few pics when i bought it how it looked










didnt like the 2 tone so i painted it all one color also painted door handles and front grille



















lucky find at the junkyard on the shift ***












have a lot more plans to the car , still waiting on some parts as well , leave a comment and let me know what you guys think , thanks!

Nice. The re-spray has her looking like new money. Congrats on the pick-up.

Jealous of the monotone paint, looks great. Not sure about the wheels though...

Nice pick-up and good save.

The fender bolted up and aligned easily? Doesn't take much to total these older ones out. How's the interior?

nice work, most folks don't have access to the body and suspension parts so a restore is difficult but you made this look easy! what suspension bits were damaged?
