The 600,000 Mile Lexus is back from the body shop and things didn't go very well. We'd had to make alot of alterations to our initial plans and while assembling the car back we've run into a lot of issues
Some of the issues are new, Some of them because the car sat for a while. But I see the light at the end of the tunnel and I am staying positive!

This project started with a total impulse buy from @DougDeMuro 's @carsandbids and everything went off the rails from there! I am determined to restore this @lexus LS430 to it's former glory. Taking it back to the pursuit of perfection that birthed it and beyond!

About 10 years ago I hired a Paintless Dent repairman to fix the hood (hail damage) of the car I was giving to my daughter. He did a fantastic job, and I was completely satisfied. In fact, he fixed an older, monster ding which I never imagined he could fix. It was a great decision to hire the Paintless guy.

@WayneHatfieldBrotherRidge 3 месяца назад

I had a dent removed out of the tailgate of my Toyota Tacoma with paintless dent repair he did an excellent job and you couldn't see where the dent was in the paint was not cracked and looked excellent even underneath different light conditions. I referred him to my brother which had door dings in his Ford truck. He did an excellent job on it also. Paintless body repair is an excellent thing if you find the right person.

I did have the same experience with hail. And I was very happy with the result.

@tomc8115 3 месяца назад

@@wawalker1 Great news. If there is a high end car dealer, Porsche or such, ask their service people who they use. I asked a friend of a friend who knew the Ferrari service folks and they hooked me up with a great company. It was not fast or cheap, but they were top notch, professional, worked seamlessly with insurance company, etc. There's a lot of places to save money and DIY on a car, but PDR is not one of them in my opinion.

Back when I had an 06 Camry, my Toyota technician, Keiji Kuji, repaired the striker on my trunk, when it wouldn’t properly shut. He slightly loosened a couple of screws and worked his magic with a slide hammer to fix/realign the issue. I miss him greatly. He retired right before the pandemic.

I love to watch your videos I think you have a great demeanor in presenting your information.

Speaking of Camrys, my parents have an '07 and an '09. At the moment, I'm digitizing our family documents and going through the paperwork for both cars. Except for my own 25 yr-old Saab, these Toyotas are the oldest cars we've ever had, and as I understand it, these MYs weren't even the best. They had the typical problems early on, but these were resolved under warranty. The cars are reliable daily drivers, and I still see plenty of them on the roads here in NE. If you have a car that was engineered from the start, then maintain, service, and use only OEM parts, it will last as long as you want.
