Default LS430 as a work car

I've just started my own security consulting/technician/installer business and of course I'll need a ride. The only vehicle I own is the LS430 and I'm not in a financial position to buy a more suitable car at this stage (like an Evo wagon or Forester STI). So I need to pimp my ride as a mini mobile office and get it kitted out with tools and ladder.

I basically need to store/organize all my tools somehow and need some ideas. Got a 10" subwoofer in the boot currently and will upgrade to something bigger in future like a 15" so keep that in mind. I won't need to carry a huge amount of stuff but just basic hand tools and a few power tools along with random bits and pieces, cable etc.

Has anyone here used their LS430 for any tradesman kind of work (plumber, electrician, whatever)? Got any pics to show of how its set up?

Ladder is going to be a issue but other than that why not , you can fit allot in a LS and you going to enjoy every mile going to work

You could trade me your LS for my 98 Astro van. Runs good. Let me know.
