Ls400 Newbie!

[GazS14]

Hi there!

I've just become the proud owner of a 91 mk1 LS400 with 247k on the clock so thought I'd better say hello as it has a few issues that need to be sorted.

I bought the car to enter in to a 3000km charity car rally around Europe called the Scumrun (www.scumrun.co.uk) as I needed something that was fast, comfortable and most importantly cost less than £500! The LS400 seemed to be a bargain at £385, although I fear our fuel bill won't be so cheap....

The car has some damage to the front wing and bumper and I was wondering whether replacements from a mk2 would fit? If not does anyone have any mk1 parts available?

Cheers

Gareth

Did you get it off eBay a couple of weeks ago?

Scumrun sounds fun.

Yes - my first eBay car! Hopefully it will make the finish line and reach 250K miles!

Welcome to the site mate!

Sounds like you'll have fun on that run, always wanted to do one of these, we were on about doing same as you have here, get a car for £500 and whoever gets there and back without braking down wins! Can't remember what we said they'd win though!

It's £500 for the car then you can spend whatever you want on top of that to make it road legal or modified! Hopefully we'll get away with just servicing it, repairing the damage and fitting a set of IS200 alloys!

The 'rally' will be televised on MTV and Men and Motors and should get local news coverage. I'm happy to put a couple on LOC stickers on the car for a bit of free advertising!
