Talking new member sayin hi

hey everybody!! new member here, so i finally decided to buy a 90-95 ls400 as my new project car. my friend convinced me to buy a cressida to do a chaser conversion but now im regretting it cause the parts are too damn hard to find so im going back to my original plan of doing a ls400 VIP/DRIFT so as soon as i get rid of this cressida im getting mine.... hope to meet everyone and help out anyone in socal who needs it (WELDER/SOME MECHANICAL) AND HOPEFULLY I CAN GET SOME HELP ON WHAT I HAVE PLANNED(MAINLY JUST 5SPD SWAP)....

hey all, ive been searching on and off for like 6 hours, looking at parts and prices, like i said i dont get too much free time from work and being married lol

im in los angeles close to chinatown..

i plan on having lots of pics start to finish;maybe make do like an instructional kind of deal when i do the swap, if i have the free time....

ive been looking at work to see what kind of parts i can get for the ls4 and i also called one of my vendors to see if he could get a hold of some original window visors and celsior badges from japan!!HOPE HE CAN!!

if n e one need parts hit me up and ill try to hook you up as much as i can (the owner is kind of stingy) but usually he lets me hook up my friends at a little above cost
