Default deer hit 1994 ls400

Hey I'm new to this forum but not to the brand , just picked up a 94 ls 400 for 650.00 , it has 174,000 miles has a bent hood and radiator is shot they hit a small deer at low speed then didn't want to spend the money on the fix. So I think I got a pretty good deal. I have only owned toyota and lexus since I was able to pay for my own way... just need some advice on where to begin... obviously radiator and such.... really needin a good website besides ebay to find replacement parts. I'm in dire need of a hood but am looking for an already painted one it is diamond white pearl any suggestions or if anyone has one layin aroud ha ha id be glad to take it off yer hands.... in michigan

Welcome to the club!

Pictures?
What did you pay? we all want to know...

As far as the radiator, I got mine off ebay for like $60 and it was of surprisingly good quality.
I had to make some rubber mounts so that it would be sturdy against the upper supports but other than that it was a perfect fit. And for the cost I am 100% satisfied.

As for the hood, only 89-94 will work for you iirc.
A junkyard or part out is your best bet. Shipping on one of those would kill you...

go to car-part.com

you put in your make & model and your zip code, and it searches all the junkyards within hundreds of miles, then you can sort the results based on how far away, or lowest price, or whatever!
