  • Bagged GS400

    So I recently finished my E30 build, then decided to sell my 20th and pursue a new style. Ive never had anything Japanese and wanted something different from anything I've owned. I found a clean 2000 GS400 with only 112k miles on it. Im not a fan of buying a car that already has mods but this deal couldn't be passed up. It only had bags and wheels, but the wheels were immediately posted up for sale the day i bought the car. Im keeping the car on bags... Simply because they are amazing. The fenders haven't even been touched and the interior is flawless.

    The exterior had a ton of chips, chipping, fading, so i started sanding down EVERY imperfection i could possible find. The car is going into paint on Tuesday. I rolled the fenders and finished the majority of the prep work.

    Here is a preview of what I've done so far. Im hoping the wheels sell asap so i can add my styling to it

    Shaving the huge holes that were bolted on for the front plate.

    After paint, I need to have the car smogged, new wheels, new exhaust tips, possibly muffler delete, wood trunk set up, then thats all for now.

                    I got the car back from paint and looks pretty good. A few dents were taken out and the holes from the spoiler were shaved off. I bought some new exhaust tips which looked WAY larger off the car lol. But it looks fine
