PART 3: RESTORING A MILLION MILE LEXUS IS MORE THAN I BARGAINED FOR

In this video we jump right back into restoring the million mile Lexus LS400 for my friend Tavarish! Make sure you help us name the parts car Matt Armstrong style!

Huge thanks to Jay at Solvent Division for always working with me on junker cars over the years. Help him out by dropping a follow on IG!

Also thanks to Tavarish and Jack for always helping me navigate this new dream job!

I can’t believe you guys straightened that fender your friend is a magician with metal

[Tallbike]

Make sure to swap that gold antenna nut back onto the original car!

so many of these car repair channels are just people buying parts to replace broken parts. It is refreshing to see someone actually do the repair, even if it takes twice as long it is so much more satisfying to watch.

This is literally the only series on YouTube I have ever committed to watching and waiting for updates. The LS400 especially this million mile LS400 needs way more attention.

I had no idea you could repair dents in plastic bumpers that well! Not to mention all the insane metal work going on here! really cool!

[Charles-ektf]

I got the phone in my SC400 to work by using a smartphone to housephone adaptor (made so old people could forward their smartphone calls to their old house phones that they are used to) and a battery pack for power. You cant buy the original phone service anymore but even if its a little jank I was able to make calls off the car phone.

The metalwork on that fender is pure witchcraft!! Amazing!

[john.sdourado]

That's beautiful, it really is awesome seeing how these repairs should be done instead of just putting several pounds of filler in the damaged areas, keep up the awesome work! 👍

[TheCoolDave]

WOW, that fender, amazing work, I personally didn't think it could be recovered with that much damage.... Learned something new today for sure...

[tylersanders]

Y'all are wizards on this body work! Doing things I didn't know could be done!

[SpoonMan]

As a perfectionist watching these 3 videos so far has been super satisfying, I have a 2000 LS400 myself in amazing shape and I plan on keeping it forever. A little tip I’d say for the wheel is try to sand it down smooth and you can actually use fabric/vinyl spray paint dye to get it the correct color. Did that method on my friends LS and it’s been about a year now and still looks great.

[ZippoMan]

2:49 "First time dyed carpet!" Looks great!

[dannalbandyan]

As a former LS owner, I salute you for doing things the right way! Keep ‘em coming!

[UnrivaledPiercer]

That parts car is going to become iconic on its own having now shared parts and having parts from the million mile car on it. This is going to be a great series!

[Lee_Hall]

Amazing work Michael and great job Jay. Amazing work on saving that fender.

[pittsburghshawn]

True craftsmen at work! Nice job guys!

There is nothing like watching a pro doing metalwork. Anyone who has ever tried to pull a dent themselves will know just how hard it is to get right (because you probably never succeeded). Metalworking is an art and a science all rolled into one. Awesome video! Subbed.

[MrEShive]

Your level of enthusiasm is OVER 9000!

Glad to witness others pursuing their dreams.

[yes.vote.]

Can't wait for the next part of the restoration. Keep it up, i'm loving it

[WaRnb]

The work you achieved with that fender is nothing short of amazing! Well done dudes! Keep up the hard work, and let's keep growing this channel!!
