The start of the UCF10 Project!

Well after selling my Cressida my brother Ian found this very clean 1991 Lexus LS400 up in Jacksonville for $500 that had rod knock. Come to find out it didnt have rod knock but a bad water pump....what a steal..lol:dance: 

As of Wednesday 10-10-07 the VIP project has started with bodywork and paint! Here are a few photos of the progess and more will come! Please stay tuned!

My brothers VIP Lexus GS300....following in his foot steps..lol[IMG]http://www.tamparacing.com/forums/tamparacing/smiles/crackbaby.gif[/IMG]

$500?!?!?! You lucky bastard!

Your bro's car although sick, doesn't look VIP to me, it looks more Euro styled..nice engine work though.  Show your brother how it's done real VIP style...

Wow 500? Nice find!

:werd: agree, the wheels looks like the 3 spoke split Brabus? that they put on Benz's in that show Unique whips.  
Like the engine though.

man that is a heck of a deal. nice find.

SHUT UP with that $500 deal. LUCKY!

Damn $500 and a waterpump...nice... looks to be in good condition too...what you got in mind for it?? And your bros car does have lots of potential style wise just needs some tweaking however the engine work looks on point...welcome to the spot

i agree....any more pics of your progress?

All this is being done at my shop here in tampa and at the moment its pretty busy so when the paint and body guys are not working on customer cars, they are working on mine. This means right now it will be a slow process.

holy shoot, i wish i kept my eye open for deals like that
i always wanted one of those

Damn, UCF,, you just got the car and you laying paint already!!!!  Am sooo jealous. Progress looks great so far.  I was following your post from on CL.  Congrads.  I need to drop mine off down there for some work,,LOL!!!!

Special discount for VSC and CL memebers:giggity:

Orange Toyota lift! awesome!:smiley:

i've seen your brother car before in tampa. shit is sick. g/l on the new project.

thanks!

looks great, I have the same MMR style on my UCF20 (mine are brushed aluminum finish).  What are you doing for suspension wise?  I have the L-sportline springs on my setup, but it needs about another 1/2 inch to sit nicer.

i have the tanabes and tocikco shocks

cool-are they installed in that pic?

no no no!!!! Waiting till the car is done, out of paint.
