KeyKeeper Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Well Ive been lurking on this site for some time with a few posts here and there and finally decided I'd put up some photos of this 14yr old car. I bought it about 4 months ago and had no idea what I was getting into. I sold my truck that had a lot of miles on it so the lex is my daily driver. Ive had to put quite a bit of time and money into it to get it back to where a lexus should be. Below is a list of things that I had to do. Most of these are very common on the 2nd gen GS. Replaced all 4 door lock actuators using DIY Ebay motors New front rotors with drilled/slotted ones and ceramic pads New oil filler cap since it was busted and leaking New alternator New battery Front seats reupholstered Replaced center console wood trim as original was cracked. New one came with black chrome shifter bezel New radiator New windshield New arm rest cover converted interior lights to true white LED replaced main charge fuse...talk about a pita! New DS fog light New hand made wood grain Tshift knob...I know old school (i used to own a chevelle...) converted over to mobile 1 oil/filter New magnaflow header w/cats new hood support struts New oem lexus floormats So far including buying the car and all the things Ive done, Ive only got about $6,500 in it. Heres how it turned out. Last two pics are huge so had to post as thumbnails as links. Im pretty happy with this car. Next up will be a 2JZGTE Aristo swap but thats a ways out still.
