    I'm going much lower, I'm just making sure that all the maintenence is taken care of, and everything is back to functional before I tear everything else up. I know I'll need to tuck the fender harness, and when the time comes cut the strut tower to allow the FUCA to extend fully. I wasn't aware of the oil pan problem but I'll approach that when I get closer.

    I've heard nothing but good about Serial Nine so i'm hoping to share the experience.

    Whites not the top of my list, but a good friend convinced me that it'll be fine and I'll do good until I get a respray. The black interior was a huge up sell and made the car so much more worth while.

    Maybe I need to wait until I do a few more things before I throw the SSRs on...

    Averaged around 20mpg cruising home at the speed limit when I picked it up using really rough calculations. The jeep got around 23, so it'll be fine.

    All in due time, body work is going to happen but let me get a start on the build first.

    Thank you all.
    I searched for awhile, I really didn't want tan interior and a ton of the LS' I looked at had some serious issues. I got burned by a few sellers driving a few hours and they either no showed, or didn't really want to sell it. Luckily I found one, and it couldn't have worked out better.

    Words can't express how clean it is, the previous owner has had it 17 1/2 years, and only out about 50k miles on it in that time. Leather isn't cracked, dash isn't cracked, no sunfades, everything electronic still functions besides the back light on the ODO.

    I placed an order to do a full LED interior conversion on the interior and the licence plate area, and ordered my first batch of materials to give making my own LED turn signals, and ordered sequential modules for more excitement.

    Muahahah.

    Plans for the next few months:
    Full serial nine arms, RCAs, and FUCAs.
    PBM coils, around 28k /24k rates
    19" SSR Agle Premiums, already have them.
    Start my interior rework.
    Debadge, and find a new grille as mines cracked.
