Default Another 1995 LS400 Project

I just picked this one up yesterday. Gonna try and restore it the best I can. It's going to need a lot of work :/

That needs lots of love.

Some peeps use them as parts haulers, let the dogs play in back, leave the windows down on rainy days. Add in runs tot he fast food places for a Cookie Monster like munch fest...there it is.

How many miles on it?

That looks decent on the outside... unless it 'good from far, far from good' scenario... Those RS4 audi style rims really suit this car! It's nice to see a performace type wheel, since everyone seems to want to run either an OEM wheel off another model, or a full face VIP type wheel on these cars... I like it like that!

I'm not sure if those were desirable, but any late model Lexus at any auction has missing *****... **********s steal these things and sell them off for a quick buck. My buddy imports quite a few Lexii from the States and 9/10 times it's missing. Either the car was broken into or the auction lot lizards look to make an extra quick buck when moving cars around since their 7$/hr job isn't cutting it.

That's a real crime the way the leather has been abused! The wheels do look nice though.

what suspension is on it? i'm half-expecting to see cut springs based on the condition of the rest of the car. (Or leaking air suspension lol.)

Door panels were poorly modded, leather's abused, radio's not bolted in, but hey, the body's clean
