Well i earlier this week i purchased a 1994 Gs300, with 171,777 miles for 1700. its in pretty bad condition but im working on restoring it.

pics:






plans for this car are:
Going to get body work tomorrow, then paint later on down the week
then new interior, redoing the stereo system (previous owner cut up the harness in every possible way), new ashtray, driver side fog light, driver side door trim.

I'm planning on painting it a very very dark blue. then maybe in a few months, dropping it on some coils and getting some Fn01rc's in titanium bronze (havent seen that done yet)

BTW can anyone help me on the offsets for the FN01rc's i want the rears to have that concaved look.


UPDATES!

 

Welcome to Club Lexus!

Looks like you got alot of work cut out for you. How's the engine? Hopefully that's in good machanical condition. Anyhow, best to luck with your restoration. Make sure you keep us updated on your progress

Not sure what you mean by 'concaved' look. Are you looking for a conservative, moderate or aggressive set-up?

 

like this? not my car.. friends car in TX

eh..that car needs some work, but 1700 is a steal. i dont even WANNA know what is in the back seat.

 

This pic looks like it was taken as someone was emergency braking lol. Nice pick up, good luck. Welcome to the Club.

 

yep thats what i mean, im in love with those wheels haha. but the engine is in pretty good condition, except for a small exhaust leak its pretty quiet and smooth. as for the backseat, from what i've heard about the previous owner he was a tweaker so im guessing its some kind of burn

 

wow.. The roof damage looks pretty bad, you've got some work to do!
All the best with those repairs buddie.

 

You got your work cut out, but I am glad to see that you are restoring this abused GS .

 

Clean gs jp $1700 I guess its not that bad just a lot of work... good luck

 

looks like it needs lots of work good luck bro an welcome to the 1st gen fam btw i have an ashtray

 

Holy some one took a dump in the back seat! I love a good Restore story/project! What are you plans? Good luck!

 

looks like you got alot of work to do.. good luck..


what are the size and offsets on those FN's?

 

Good luck with your project. There's a blue on the new LS called Black Saphire Pearl that you may want to check out.

 

**update**
went to go check out the car today, body work is done, the guy even got my sunroof working, he said when the roof was smashed, a sensor for the sunroof cracked so he fixed it. getting new windshield tomorrow for 160. so all the body work and replaced windshield is done for 460. paint is going to be about 400-500. should be done by labor day

Edit:

 

Wow.. nice work on the roof.

 

Well it looks like it's coming along just fine, re-do those seat then it would be pretty from the inside.
