Wrecked 2006 LX470 Budget Build (1 Viewer)

[2001LC]

Nice work! Just finding a front-end clip and hood is a major accomplishment.

The first picture shows a perfect RH FRT wheel. Needing LCA, knuckle & UCA etc.. was that the spare put on after accident?

I've worked on a few that had front right damage. Where UCA and or LCA replacement was done or needed. In some I've found frame alignment pull marks. The frame gets shifted or bent to the left, so they pull back to right. Only issue I've had is getting number 7 coil out, due to engine shifting with frame. I end up bending the AC line, just enough for clearance.

You're doing such a clean job. Maybe worth taking in for frame alignment before wheel alignment.

I switched the wheels because the original wheel tire was blown. Frame was measured with tram gauge and the front end clip was perfectly aligned. The lx starts and drives and no problems so far. Frame was untouched. Here’s the original picture.

The only puzzle piece left is the ARB bumper. Should be here in a few days. I’ll make sure the bumper fits, take apart and start welding.

Truly impressive work!

On a side note, love the 912. Are you going to turn it into a 912-6 or keep the 4?

 

[CBeckFJ]

Impressed! Feels good having the front of that truck back together lol. I know the feeling

Keep it stock for now but maybe upgrade later on. Need money for the LX build.

Thank you Yes feels good but have to take it apart and weld it back together.

Are you going to have the entire truck painted when you're all done or just the front clip and blend?

Front clip and maybe blend. Will see how close they can match.

Cool. Curious how that turns out. Any indication on costs yet? Feel free to DM if you don't want to make that public!!

Should cost me around $9500 painted.

$9,500 for a full paint job or $9,500 is what you'll have into it once you paint the front clip?

9500 once I paint the front clip.

9500 once I paint the front clip.

I’d say you made a fine investment sir!
Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Looks incredible and congrats on the rebuild/restart dude! Dumb question, but are you going to have to register as a Salvaged vehicle? Or are you not planning on keeping?

Yep salvage and definitely keeping.

Finally everyone is feeling better. Picking up my Arb front bumper today and hopefully get it fitted. The only thing I’ve done is pulled the cobra out from hibernation and cleaned her up. Winter is over here in Northern California.

 

[gregnash]

Nice cobra!!! Yeah, seems like winter is pretty much done here in No. NV as well. Supposed to be in the low 60s all this week and into next. Either this is signs of a nasty, hot year to come or Mother Nature has something else up her sleeve.
