looks like alot of hard work ahead of you......looks like the rt front wheel is pushed back. What are the circumstances with the car? Are you going to have to have to put it under a salvage title? It does look like it would be a nice project car although.

oh yeah the car will have salvge title, since the es shares the same platform as the camry i can use many parts from that. I know people with lexus junk yards and have a friend with body shops so I should have this 97 ES300 running for under 5500..

I only bought the car cause my mom needs a car, her and my dad share some old 90 model Accord right now. I got a good deal on this ES and i got friends that own body shops and junk yard which I can get cheap parts and labor.

Looks like a good project...But I would imagine hooking up a ES is not a easy task...

Good luck with it Din. Glad to see you are willing to help out mom and dad. If you have any Honda questions, pm me off the board. Wrenching Hondas is what I do for a living.

Yeah, I`m learning my way around these lexus myself. Now that I own one, I figure I better learn as much as I can about them. Take it easy.

Good luck. Car looks good from the firewall back. Did the battery rupture and spray the engine compartment with acid? Thats not too good on the wiring harness. Hopefully you can get a good price on a front clip.
