Default GS300 + UZS186 Majesta = Majestaristo?

After months and months of researching sources in Japan to find a decent shaped UZS186 Crown Majesta, I was able to finally gather all the parts I need to "attempt" this front end conversion. Props to all the VIP GS on here, many were an inspiration and people I look up to. I figured lets try something different hopefully everything will flow well together other wise I'll cry like a ***** lol

Big thanks to Taba at JZSInternational for actually digging up parts for me that were in excellent condition. Most of my parts will be due here on March 5th 2012. And I'll update every process of the way.

Bought the car bone stock from an old man.
First week after owning the car I've installed D2 air suspension and Work Euroline XR:





5 months later: I installed LED tails, Work SC1, JP rep spoiler, q45 retros






took a long *** break...a year and half later i mounted Ordens on them





onto the more interesting stuff...
(pictures I got from Taba in Japan)

UZS186 Majesta Headlights:


Headlights packaged!


Hood packed in the container..


Radiator support, fenders, hood all ready to leave

Glad to see your project finally progressing Steve!!! Guess you won't be making it in time for Import Alliance this year. Was looking forward to see her all done, but at least the project is moving again.
