New owner of a 1996 LS400, picked up a beauty from an Estate Sale. 64k miles, needs a thorough detail and good to go aside from some preventative maintenance.

Hey guys, so did a meet ever get arranged? I totally forgot about this page but then all of a sudden an email about it came through lol. Well seeing that summer is right around the corner, it would be pretty cool if we could shoot for a small get together, or cruise woodward this yr or something like that.

I swapped my 04 LS430 for a 12 LS460 (in Nebula gray), and I'm over in the Pontiac/Sterling heights area now so let me know if anyone over there is interested in anything. Most of the cars driving around are absolute crap, so it would be nice to see some good cars for a change (the best car I see everyday is typically my own, esp in Pontiac ). Anyway, hope we can get something going!

I am joining this to tag along. I won't be out and about until Spring, 2017.

It's going to be a LONG build, but in the end, worth it.

I am sure you'll see the car out and about as soon as the weather breaks next year.

Nice, good deal man! Any sneak previews along the way, or are we just going to have to sit back and wait?

I haven't updated this, but I have a build thread over on Club Aristo. I should start one here.

Not counting the car, I have just over $16K into it. It's not even in the states yet!

313SC, I am going to send you a PM about some stuff.

Put them Works on it. This is before the coilovers and rear lower control arms. Still need adjustable toe and traction rods to lower it. The Fujitsubo exhaust sits VERY low though, so with Michigan roads, I am a bit worried that it'll just rip the exhaust off.
