I currently own a '98 GS300 with 153k miles. I know, I know...it's pretty beat up. Whoever owned it before gave up on the car but I see the potential in it. So I took the responsibility of resurrecting this beast (within my budget of course). Remember this is a project in the works and I hope to get it to where I want it to be at. Let me know what y'all think.

 

Welcome! Clean GS and you can easily bring that blue back to life. Some 01 Tails, repaint hood and front bumper, 01+ grille and it'll look like a brand new car!!

Have fun modding!

 

congrats on the pick up and welcome. doesn't look tooo bad, u got it...gl modding.

 

Welcome to Club Lexus!

 

Look's nice,not to bad only hood and tail's and your good

 

Welcome,car doesn't look bad just needs a little tlc.good luck and keep us posted.

 

yeah, all you need is to spray some good paint in a couple areas for her to visually come back. welcome to CL

 

Yeah it needs some TLC right now. The hood took a beating from the Cali weather so the clear coat is all gone. Some of the clear came off the fender, rear view mirrors, and the trunk bar. Also, the previous owner did a fender roll on the front fenders and now they have dimples. The only thing I've done is upgraded the taillights with the '01 version. Plan to rebuild the JIC's and redo the suspension with quality parts. Here are the positives from the car:

- RMM front bumper and side skirts
- Staggered Axis 19's
- JIC Magic coilovers
- Pioneer AVIC-D3

Negatives:
- Cracked RMM front bumper
- Bad fender rolls
- Dead paint job
- Scratched up wheels
- Slight oil leak from the back of the engine

It'll be a long road 'till I can see the green grass on the other side. Thanks everyone for your input.

 

welcome to the club

 

im pretty sure i have seen this car on the forums before.....that first pic under the car garage. is that your pic at your place or did he send it to you......or you take it when you picked it up?

 

I'm pretty sure you've seen this car before. The picture was taken when I went to go see it for the first time.

 

yeah i thought so.....some other guy bought this as a project also. never saw anything come from it

 

Yep. He gave up on the project and I took over. Hopefully I can reestablish this ride to its supremacy again.

 

Congrats some body work and car should look nice. Just make sure to do the basic ball joint replacement etc.

 

I am new to cl too. nice car !
