Default My 1995 Lexus LS400 project
Just picked up my first toyota, a 1995 Lexus ls400 black/black and a 96 parts car to go with it switching over the front clip, brakes, shocks, seats, wheels and more.. eventually hoping to rebuild the 96 motor with a supercharger. Heres some pics of the two cars https://picasaweb.google.com/viperrgh2/Lexus

Yea the parts car is a wreck and rescue team cut out the b-pillar, you can't see it under the cover but the back quarter is really bad to. Shame cause the rest of the car looks amazing... and yes very happy with how the 17s look... Plan is to put all the good parts from the 96 front clip and tail lights maybe more and then paint it all. So far very impressed with lexus build quality...

That little kitchen stool sitting in place of the drivers seat on the parts car is EPIC! You should drive around town like that!
