This 2010 GS 450h was purchased at an insurance auction as a statuary write off. It had minor damage on the rear RHS - doesn't take much to make a car unrepairable these days. Anyway the car can no longer be reregistered as a Lexus. The car was delivered to the local Lexus dealer for testing. Heartbreakingly it was perfect.
I am an old man who enjoys cruising provincial antique shops, I also enjoy annoying people. So why not rebody the Lexus in repro fiber glass panels from a '62 Corvette Sting Ray? A no-brainer you cry.
All electrical, mechanical and safety features of the donor car are retained. So except for cutting 250mm from the B pillar to shorten the wheel base, it's a just a sheep in MILF clothing.
The purpose of this announcement is to seek absolution and advice.
The traction battery has been removed and I am about the reconnect all of the circuits separated when the rear was chopped. Can I run diagnostics just on the 12volt battery?
I will be getting professional help but I'm testing the water because this request is a little left field and the deeper the pool of knowledge the better.
To encourage a response to this request - the rego plate on this car will be CUTMAX, because that is what I did. Almost ready for paint. Ford Wildtrack hoop catching and returning the crown of the roof. Fiber glass panels over intact Lexus panels. When the dream was new - Lexus looking on excitedly from left of frame.
Some what modified.
