The not quite VIP yet LS400.

[m.butcher]

Yes, I know! I have a friend who just bought one, this weekend, for a cheap price. But it's a really rare car in france. But I do not despair to find one ^^

I want a lexus! :'(

Why don't you get one? They are very reasonably priced for older ones.

[Creation]

mmmm....another LS build!

Yep. Ive wanted one for a few years and ready to start on it.

So a few things have happened over the past week or two, nothing too extreme but progress none the less.

326 Powers have been delayed, probably another 2 weeks out unfortunately.

Went ahead and did new rotors, pads, and inner tie rods to start refreshing the cars 22 year old parts.



Got the radio bezel all glassed up, it's now awaiting refinishing at the hydrodippers. I went ahead and sent all the panels off that are currently wood just to have everything match. I'm sticking with a woodgrain pattern to keep the OEM feeling.





Onto the audio, I tried to not be a complete cheapskate. I didn't use any factory wiring, so everything has been rerun with KnuConcepts wiring. RCA's, Power, Grounds, Speaker Wires, the works.



Focal Door speakers.



TC Sounds Epic 8 in the rear deck.


EQ installed in the center console, still need to do some glassing but ran out of supplies. Project for another day.


Sub Amp, PPI 600.2.


Door speaker Amp. Rockford Fosgate 250x4.


Goal was to make it look as factory as possible with the trim reinstalled.
Success?



While everything was apart, went ahead and tucked the harness and power line to avoid rubbing once the coils show up.



That's all for this week, until I get some other stupid ideas. I'll be at SouthrnFresh5 in the spectator lot if anyone else is going!

It's been crazy busy, and i'm waiting on parts really. 326 Powers are still 2-3 weeks out so I have been stock piling some OEM replacements like brakes and tierods to knock out at the same time.

Also been making some progress on the audio side. Spent a few hours working on making the bezel for the tablet and seperating the mounting points so this part can be removed individually. Still have some work to do and then it'll go off for hydrodipping.



Also picked up a TC Sounds epic 8 for the rear deck, a PPI 600.2 for the sub, a set of focals for the doors, and searching for a PPI 900.4 for the doors. The hunting and waiting continues.

I ordered my 326 Powers last night! Should see them in about 3 weeks or so.

Looking forward to this. More specifically to strut tower cutting.

I'm so ready for this

Tuition got pulled expectedly, so I have to wait until payday unless $20 will last me a week.

but I'm in love with demon camber so it may get real interesting.

looking forward to this build, awesome car you have!

Thank you!

This may not seem like a big accomplishment, but this lip spoiler has been sitting in my trunk for about 2 months. Finally stopped and bought the 3M to apply it, so cheers to laziness.



Also, we did a fun shoot sitting at the shop one night. And a few drunken hours and a 4 person group chat later, a friend of mine decided to photoshop what we had just accomplished. Hopefully the real thing will soon follow, but I'm in love with demon camber so it may get real interesting.

Cool stuff man. I enjoyed your Jeep's build, looking forward to seeing this build as well!

Thank you! I got my final quote for my 326 powers today. Green bodies, Green springs, as they won't have purple bodies in stock for a few months. 32/24k spring rates. Just need to wait for payday and they'll be ordered.
