Well when i got the car the seats were black with muck and grime so i used jif and a scrubbing pad (something i dont really recommend as its very very harsh on the leather), then i used autoglym leather cleaner at the weekend and its great you actually see the muck comming as well as treating the leather! its expensive but worth it.

  12. Picture of the car: http://s149.photobucket.com/albums/s50/Lin...nt=49b92b80.pbw Good evening Ls owners, some time ago I put on here a topic of all the work I have done to my LS400 – 93, to date, well on Sunday my work was completed!!! History - I bought my car off my close boss for a mear 500 pounds, he loved the car and gave it to his sons and then they miss treated it (they were spoilt), and then 2 years later it came into my hands where I fell in love!!!! For the past year and 2 months I have slowly stripped the car and rebuilt it, I’m not a professional but someone with a lot of passion!!! Work that has taken place: 1, Stripped all the body work off to wax oil behind everything 2, Repaired the broken ariel 3, Cleaned out the throttle body 4, Changed the Drive belt 5, Cleaned the Engine bay 6, Replace nearly all the plastic covers in the Engine bay 7, Stripped out the boot its now been grit blasted and respray 8, Repaired the auto changer and housing 9, Cleaned all carpets seats and ALL internal trims - this involved removing everyone and taking them home to be cleaned 10, Realigned all the doors, boot lid, and bonnet as they were out of sink 11, Repaired the dash as it didnt work - £1.00 well spent 12, Stripped the dash so I could clean and repair bits 13, Repaired roof trim as it was falling down 14, Installed Amp and housing for new sub 15, Repaired all side skirts front bumper and rear and replace a rear door quarter 16, Sanded down all rust spots ready for re-spray 17, Of course de-badged 18, Tinted rear and side lights 19, Cleaned up exusts using Autosol 20, Full Service 21, Installed a 10” sub 22, Custom made a sub box to fit around the fuel tank 23, Sound deadened the parcel shelf and back seats 24, Finally got the rear fog light working – put my own cables in 25, Put on clear indicators 26, Fitted halogen bulbs 27, Lowered the front by 31mm and the rear by 25mm 28, Fitted Superflex bushes to the front control arm 29, Fitted Superflex bushes to the rear trailing arms 30, All brake discs have been filed and cleaned up 31, New pads on the front 32, All calipers have been taken off, cleaned up and painted. 33, Most importantly managed to replace the Lexus tool kit in the boot. 34. Fitted gas struts to the boot I would love to fit a body kit and do crazy extras, but ive spent so much getting the car to this stage i just want to drive it!!! As I said my work is finished now I hand it over to the professionals (when I have the money haha). The work that needs to be done is a cat 1 alarm, windows tinted, alloys and full respray. Hopefully next year i can come show it the LOC Rally Best Wishes Mat

  14. You see this is why i love this site, so many people are willing to give you help and give honest advice un like most. Thank you, really it was just an idea, as i have already put a lot of money into so i think i will just leave that side of things - makes sense, why fix when its not broke - Chris - my car will soon be ready for me to drive touch wood, not long left till she is finished, ah i just want it finished now, its doing my nut in. Thanks fellas for your advice Mat
