Hi people, newbie here from the the UK. Some very nice looking rigs on here, I'm a tad jealous especially of you 1st genners.
Anyhoo here's mine an on-going project, hope you approve.
Cheers, Vince.

 

Beautiful. Is there any rust on that thing at all??

Probably, I haven't checked for a few days.

Now that is a clean engine swap . . .

 

Good lord I second that...You must be cebby's hero


Welcome, Cheers

 

bushwacker, where'd you get those gas struts for the hood?

 

Thanks guys, all my own work too!
Took me four months in total in my little workshop as I wanted it to look stock.
I've also fitted the lexus dash, that was the hardest part.

 

From the LS400 donor car.

I still need to make a new center console, fit some auxillary gauges then cover with some black alcantara.

 

Damn...you brits are incredibly crafty AND have a great accent...

 

Oh, and what tranny are you using with the v8? Did you bolt it up to the stock one, or use the tranny out of the ls400 as well?

 

I used the Lexus transmission and bolted the transfer case to it. Driveshafts went back on in their original positions too.

All that time taking numerous measurments paid off in the end, also kept costs down.

 

Here is one from a run this weekend. We had a few inches of fresh snow and some virgin play areas to romp in.

 

N204life,

Those lights/LEDs arent illegal...lol

WOAH!! Your just a town or two over from me. I live in Hillsboro.

 

Nothings illegal until you get caught! Plus i don't dare run those on the road, with clackamas county sheriffs everywhere no way. I only use them off road which i think makes it legal because its not a public road.
