will get more pics up as soon as it stops raining here:sad:

Nice LS...the paint doesn't look too bad from the pics.

nice ride bro looks real good

verrrry nice! i love big bodies bagged! are you gonna touch up the stock paint or do a color change?

hi guys, thanks for the kind comments. i'm planning on a full colour change to black, i run my own bodyshop so the temptation to go a little nuts is always a problem =). also toying with the idea of maybe organic green kandy, over a real dark base it would appear black until bright sunlight gets on it. still undecided with rims, any ideas?

Wow being bagged improved the look 100%

i agree =), they do look great dropped, 
got the glass tinted and popped on some clear side markers, going to convert the corners to clear as the amber inner lens looks nasty.

had a play with the air and got it to pick up a rear wheel lol, still on the hunt for rims:pat:

apologies for the crap pics, it will not stop raining here:sad:

haha damn that's gangsta ^^^

"drove her to the pad and I'm coastin, took another sip of the potion hit the 3 wheel motion"
 :biggthumpup:

=) i tried to standing 3 wheel the front but its just a bit too heavy. i could probably power 3wheel but i reckon it would most likely end in a crash:pat:
need to concentrate more on cutting the front srut tops to get it lower really=) it was a laugh though.

looks really good cant wait to see it finished

thanks, i cant wait to get it finished=)

You should think about keeping that color it's not a comon color you see. I think that color would look clean as hell with the right kit and wheels.

QFT, that green looks fantastic.

nice ride man :)

thanks for the comments, its good to get some input on the project from here. 
maybe i'll get the rims sorted out and see how the car looks then.
i've been looking at a set of euroline DH, 19x10 +21 fronts and 19x11.5 +17 rears, what do you think?
stuart.

nice build! Lovin the 3wheel action!!! LoL!!

=) thanks! i have a few small jobs to get done this week, will attempt to clear the corners without wrecking them :pat: and finish off the rear silencer removal that i started last week.

got the corners cleared today, not a nice job! had read up about how to do it on various sites but didnt like the idea of heating the lamps up to separate the lense. so, bought a spare lamp to practice on (lucky because the first attempt did not go well:pat:)
still, got there in the end,

Sick. I'd like to start off with an LS once I get some funds.

do it! its probably the best all round car i've owned so far, the more you mod it the better it gets too=)

nice...what other plans do u have 4 it

thanks!
main priority is wheels, i need them before i start the bodywork. not sure on a bodykit yet im aiming to get the car as low as possible first.
got my eye on a set of cystal rear lamps, then just some interior mods and audio. as with any project they kind of evolve as they go dont they =)

ver nice.. :biggthumpup:

thanks ron!
hopefully be much nicer very soon:biggthumpup:

nice car! that color actually looks pretty nice. don't really see too many of those driving around here. i was thinking about doing my setup in the spare compartment also, but i think i may need to use my spare one day.

its not a problem losing the spare wheel well, for my daily commute i carry a can of tyre weld just in case. and for longer trips i have a jdm supra space saver that fits in the trunk easy:biggthumpup:

it's been a while since any updates, i've been crazy busy with work and life in general recently. anyways, heres a few pics of the work thats been going on,

big thanks to Ron - RASRX7, sorry for all the trouble involved in shipping the wheels, its much appreciated :biggthumpup:
jobs left to do are paint, cut the front strut towers for the balljoints to clear, drop rear to match, drive it daily =)

wheels look nice on your ride, what are the specs on them?

OHHH wow...they look perfect on your car..especially slammed..glad they made it in one piece...definitley worth the wait:biggthumpup: maybe want to put more meat on the rear wheels..those rocks might damage the lips with the stretch i had on it...

Looks amazing. Nice work!

thanks guys, really happy with the look of the car, just got to tweak the drop a bit more.
Wheel specs are (correct me if i'm wrong Ron)
front 9x19 +15
rear 10x19 +15
wheels cleared the brakes no trouble and only needed minor rear arch rolling with my trusty hammer =) fronts will need a bit of a pull when it goes down more.
Ron, cant really get a fatter tyre on the rear as inner arch clearance on drop is tight, plus it looks great as it is, wheels poke nicely when lifted too :biggthumpup:

Very nice! Like the new wheels!

good luck man very cool project

wow. it looks greats

Wow those new wheels change the whole look of the car. I think you should keep it green just spice it up a bit. black is so much more common

wow!! edm ls400!! dont see those that often, the headlight water nozzles

wow car is looking great!!  i love how good an ls can look....maybe on my next project ill have to take one on....
 
keep it coming, really tastful modding.  :thumbsup:

looks really go I like!!!

new wheels look awesome
