So I've been lurking around gathering parts for my build but heres a little history about my ls.
My grandma bought it brand new from the dealer in 2004 after trading in her 99-01 Continental. She opted for any option she could except the LSE package. she babied the car until she passed and since i was the only one who ever took care of the car and wanted to appreciate it for what it was, when she passed away in February i was left in possession of a near mint 2004 LS with 27K miles.
its light tundra green with tan interior
After realizing that this car had some real potential last summer (2013) I started gathering parts
the first things I bought were new wheels to replace the chrome inner barrel peeling stockers. After searching on craigslist I found a set of 19" jag XJR double spokes
Had them Powdercoated Foundry Silver and curb rash repaired.
Also Purchased a new K&N typhoon intake kit and SCT tuner from a member on here and then tunes from Torrie. And gen 1 LSE side skirts, Mclaren Grille and euro spec rear license plate surround with the rear fog light.
Recently I just Purchased Melvins custom Bassani exhaust and jag big brakes with stainless lines. I ordered 14" rotors and thermoquiet pads for $160 (couldn't sing the big bucks on performance now). Also Purchased Eibachs from another forum member and installed the rears yesterday afternoon.
My future plans Tints 35%, folding mirrors, install all the parts i have and show it this summer.
here are some pictures:
and how she sits today
