Maybe you should buy a sawsall and chop the top off and make it a convertible, that would really personalize it.

Dicer, please refrain if you have nothing to contribute. I'm getting tired of your attitude. This is an enthusiast forum...

Shoney! That car looks to be in awesome shape! Make it yours and be proud. LS400's are legendary and very good straight from the factory. While some suspension mods and bigger wheels will look good, try to keep your modifications high quality. The LS deserves it!

Congrats on your purchase!

And being serious, I would like to see an LS converted to a 2 door. Since I really like some of the stuff Ian Rousell (I think that is how its spelled) does, I bet he could really make a nice modified LS. I'm not really into convertibles but if it had a stuff it in the trunk hard top like some Mercedes do that would be kinda cool.
And yes I'd like to see the cars you built.

btw that 3rd pic down looks sort of like the stock photo from the original brochure. with the boats in the backround etc, only it was gold IIRC
