01 Lexus IS300

[Fusious 41]

 

I bought the car without wheels, Front seats, Seat belts, Steering wheel, headlights, tail lights, no body panels besides front fenders, hood, and trunk, a ton of interior trim was missing, no a/c, and I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton. The car was also in an accident and the driver front pillar was smashed. That was fixed as pictured at the end of the photos. The goal for this car is to keep it mechanically stock, retaining a/c, and still make it an enjoyable/comfortable car to drive if I wanted to drive it across country. The only upgrades I plan on making will be actual needed upgrades mechanically.

You clearly work on cars then if you changed it from the first pic to the last! How long did it take you to do the work?

It took me a little less than a year. The driver pillar was smushed and I had a shop do that along with paint. Other than that, I did everything myself!
