Unhappy

No, not mine (insert sound of me tapping on wood-like furniture in my hotel room).

Just doing some surfing and ran across a couple of salvage yards with GS pics I found interesting.

I hope these folks all got out safely.

Bit,

Try the raw URL. Link works for me for some reason!


http://www.astramotorcars.com/cars/20223.html



Aliga - I'm assuming he bought the first one, right?

The second looks like the entire interior caught fire and burned. Assume that one is parts only (especially if you want some exhaust). If Mr Horse is still missing parts, here's a source!

Second one also had a very weird collection of stock wheels; mix of 16", platinum? and space saver spare (does any lex come with one of those?). Maybe the scrap yard just put them on to roll it around more easily.

Thanks Dave, keep that stuff coming. I just bought the rear bumper from the burned car, the guy says it is perfect not a scratch.. Now I can fix where my wife rubbed a retaining wall, NO PAINTWORK... How did you find these?

Thanks

Excellent! Glad somebody got something good out of that...

Every now and then I'll pop open a random search engine and look for stuff to see what I run across. For these two, I used Google and just popped in Lexus GS400 -->Google Lexus Search Link

That's likely how I stumbled across Clublexus too... Find all sorts of interesting stuff that way.
