Most recent photo of my "clunker" LS400... I took this photo in early April of this year....
'91 LS400 (219,500 miles)
needs:
* valve cover gaskets (leaking slightly)
* power steering pump (leaking moderately - and I think its taking the alternator with it, because my "brake" warning light is occasionally dimly illuminated and I was told this was why)
* engine and transmission mounts (vibrations, clunks, lurching, etc 219K on the originals)
* coolant LEVEL sensor (radiator light stays illuminated)
* HVAC LCD panel (its blacked out)
* front shocks/springs (front suspension is almost non-absorbent)
(I guess thats it- at least until tomorrow)
Maybe one day when I learn how to work on a car good enough myself and get the $$$$ for parts, I will have it up to par. I know a Toyota mechanic that does some of the labor for me, but after parts and his fee, this thing costs a fortune to own. That the price you pay for owning a old Lexus though isnt it?
It does have a new fan bracket bearing though.... that was about a $320 set back.

@91LS400LEX: My LS needs a lot of work done to it aswell. But if you work step by step it isn't as frustrating 
@Tech&Rides: That's a fantastic Lexus, very beautiful pictures too

My work in progress
This is my work in progress, I used to have a GTP that I would enter in shows, I bought this car in 06 and just now have begun to get it together.
