Finally getting settled in the new home. Didn't come with a garage but we got a stellar deal on the home and it's a pure investment, so my wife and I improvised....
Nice work, I can see you're doing the best you can to take care of it! Good on you for the tarp on the ground especially. Keep that moisture away from the chassis!

Yep, doing cement and building a nice carport next spring so this will work for now. Now waiting for more stuff to arrive and need to order coilovers, planning on Sui Vax units once we decide on the spring rates
Aristo fenders made it stateside and now just need the Belloff headlights and fogs and I can put the body back together. Japan postal is shut down again so it might be a while
Mmmmm!! Almost flawless. Also quite special to me that all of the body panels and bumpers, lips came from the same donor car in Japan. Once headlights make it in, it'll be a complete swap
Now that the IS300 is up for sale, I had to go find another daily. And found this baby in Kentucky. Hopped in my wife's GX and brought it home for $600! And it runs! But needs cleaning and cats and routine maintenance before I'm ready to drive it
Nice find, that's how I got mine. $900 still driving. Needed plugged cats replaced and various things. $75 ebay headers and some rear o2 extenders and it was back in action.

Bro, it's amazing the deals you can find on IS and GS due to people just giving up on them. This one popped up and I just said to myself, "I can afford to pull 600$ from my project to snag this ESPECIALLY since I have extra parts accumulated over the years from past GS." That's exactly what I'm gonna do, cheap header and some extenders. I've got some Megan coils laying around I'll throw on and might swap my black interior in it since I'm caging and running just OEM dash and center console in Francine

I swear you always find the best deals lol.. Great Find BTW.....................
That's the new (to you) GS? Is the engine making some kind of noise or overheating or something? It's been sitting for a while right? That's not necessarily a doomed engine judging by the oil. It may just be high moisture from sitting and just need the oil changed. Unless you are clearly experiencing blown HG symptoms or something. Just saying, if you opened the cap and saw that and for no other reason wan to replace the engine. I wanted to mention that moisture build up can make milky oil like that. Run an engine oil cleaner and flush it out good and change oil. Of course, that's only if you haven't found other reasons the engine needs replaced.
Also, that oil in the air tube is normal if the pcv valve is bad. And it just happens to be moisture contaminated. I'm just saying, I don't see any big time red flags by those pictures.
Nah dude, she's done. She's got Nesquik in the oil pan. It'll run but not taking any chances. I can't afford for this motor to fail because I drive for work. A lot easier for me to pull it and swap it for another NA. I can get em for $550
Decided to mock fit the Aristo fenders. Gonna look good once we get some coilovers and the SSR's in there! You can definitely tell the difference between usdm and jdm offerings.
Well, pulled the blown motor out of the new daily this afternoon so I can get the trans off and ready to go on a donor motor in a couple weeks. I feel better knowing that what I put in will be ready for the daily travel grind I do for work.
