I always think to myself that I'm saving my car because the place i bought it from looked about as scary as this place. You always have to wonder what it's life was like ya know and how did it get to that place:/

^ I completely agree, i always wonder how once really nice or expensive or rare care end up in such bad situations. I once saw a ridiculously rare 1960's porsche 911t just sitting by the waterfront in the back of an industrial estate behind fences just rotting away. That car is worth easily 80k+ in good condition, but it just sits there falling apart. First time i saw it was in 1999, tosay in 2012, through the harsh buffalo winters, the car continues to sit. The thing is with Buffalo, it used to be a city with a decent amount of money. All those industrial estates were owned by large companies. Now that the city is essentially dead, these estates are owned by individuals and you will see car situations like this quite a lot

yep, that is what I figured, he wrecked it and found this complete front end and put it on, and then all the plugs didnt match up and he didnt know how to complete the change.... so sell it...

Actually no. I have a completely perfect, never wrecked 95 LS400. I also had a 96 LS400 that WAS wrecked.

I took the entire front off the 95, and put it on the 96, and now I'm going to find a nice clean 98+ front end and stuff it on my 95. I like the looks of the 98 front end, but I don't hace to deal with emissions on a 95.

And I've been looking for the parts to swap ever since. the 95 currently has a blown motor, but is in otherwise fantastic condition. I'm going to slowly put it back together, and do all the mods to it, then ditch the 96 when I'm done.
