LS400 -- I dont know what im doing -- Stank LS

So i sold my SC back in January and bought my Ls the same day

Its a 1995 Lexus LS400, Silver Exterior(not sure which type of silver) with FLAWLESS black leather interior:eyebrows

Had the car for a couple months with nothing done because of money shit.







First thing i did was change out the tails with all red tails and clear corner lights









Then i got rid of the old gold emblems and swapped them out for nice chrome ones



Then bought my wheels back in June and waited 2 months to get them





Bought some interior VIP shit lol





Celsior badges for the win





Then got rotors from 88rotors.com



Bought cheap coils for the time being, looking forward to PBMs this christmas



Then made it official



Then mounted my tires after a month of owning them



Rolled these bitches for a good 3-4 hours





And now we are all caught up. Put the wheels on thanksgiving morning and been driving around with less then credit card clearance and eating up my tires




so i drove it all day friday and then something not so good happend.

i was driving my car uphill towards the mall to just mess around and do some amateur shooting, on the way there i smelled a really bad smoke smell. i stopped my music and my air conditioning and realized it was my car smoking, at first i thought it was my engine but as i slowed to a complete stop i found out it was my interior.

freaking out i turned off the car and got out hoping my car wasnt about to catch fire, called a friend and waited for the car to eventually cool itself down. cops arrived right after my friend did and they told us to move because we were in the way of alot of traffic. so i got in the car and started driving up the hill again, next thing i know the speedometer lights start to blink then go completely out, then my ceiling lights, then my clock and so on. it started smoking so bad that the smoke was coming from behind the dash where it connects to the windshield.



turns out there was a spring in my cigarette lighter and it created an ark. got my wire too hot, it caught fire. burned through some plastic and completely fried the main wiring harness. my fuse box has about a quarter sized black melted hole in it.





so now my windows are stuck rolled down, my speedometer doesnt work, and my clock doesnt work. i went to autozone the other day and got new fuses so now a few things work, but not the important stuff.


Said fuck it, and drove it saturday night for a night shoot...





And as for the fenders im going to roll the fenders right and not bacon them. gonna take time.

LS and I practically fell in love with it, great car.
