Very interesting an ES 300 front end with the middle and back end of a Camry. That must have been alot of work. Good job and keep up the good work. Happy driving...

And all of those reasons are why I am a fan of the ASG!
Awesome work!

That's a pretty cool project. The crappy bondo job looks bad, but the rest looks good. Very good for doing it yourself.

You know how I felt about this when I met you at Arundel Mills. Remember, it completely threw me off until I realized that something about the body lines were just a lil off to be an ES. Yeah the bondo is crappy, as you say, but you did the work yourself and taught it to yourself. Good job.

^ I'll let you know next time I plan to be in the area. Hopefully get another Toyota/Lexus meet set up with more people coming. Was a lot of fun with the few cars at the mall.
