Too Clean ? I know. I just finished my Lexus project, so I did a thorough cleaning.
The rust situation isn't all that good, it needs new rockers and floor pans for starters, who knows what else. I am going to strip it down and replace whats needed followed by a nice sand blasting experiment. Should be fun.

I think you mean the moderately priced Lexus with the outrageously priced mods. I've attached an older pic (edit: new pic, not a great pic) as it has been raining all week. Major mods include: Twin Turbo mounted on a 4.0L V8, tein coilovers, 18inch rims, borla exhaust, in-dash 6.5 inch Kenwood DVD with nav, Kenwood music keg (80Gig), reverse cam mounted in trunk keyhole, tint, 2800 stall torque converter, 3.76 LSD from a Toyota Supra, etc.
Car is getting painted this month and I have an unlimited supply of speeding tickets in the glove box, thus the move to a less powered MG project.
Did I say I am broke. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

85 mph in a B is going to feel a bit different than in the Lexus.
In my experience, terrifying & exciting can be used interchangeably to describe the experience of driving a small Brit. car at interstate speeds.

Nah, not less of a ticket magnet, just I can drive the Lexus tomorrow morning at 120mph, whereas the MG shouldn't hit 5mph for at least 2 years.
