Hello everyone, first time posting here
I’m a lexus head, all my life, I had 4 lexus cars, my daily is an es350, and I just bought the new gx550 but modern cars aren’t really my thing anymore.
So I decided to get a used Lexus lx 450 1997, it was for sale for about 2.3K usd (10k riyals) and it was a great deal, mechanically sound but it needed a complete paint job, so I decided to go the body shop to do a complete out landing body work, that’s when disaster struck, most of the body panels and exterior was bad, like unrepairable bad, so the body shop told me to get new body parts to do the job, I thought it was easy, but I was wrong, there isn’t any body panels, like at all, because the car was only for the us market, no parts were available. I scoured through junkyards, shady stores, and even the depths of telegram groups. Nothing
So after this horrible into, I want to ask if there is any shops in the GCC that have lx 450 body parts, even in oman or UAE, I just want to get the restoration done
