This car has (unfortunately Sad) been parked up for the best part of 30 odd months.

Who would like to see my first attempt to start it?

Gotta love Japanese cars. It took me most of a day to get my Pug going after just 12 months. This Lexus, just a second or two on the key, and it's like it was running yesterday. Ok, I put in a new battery. (Plus this was using the battery from the aforementioned Peugeot, and was technically way under the power of stock Lexus one, this didn't seem to be a problem.)

(I don't think I can embed a photobucket video and I can't be bothered to upload it to youtube. But if it can be embedded, can a mod please fix it for me. Please Thank You.)

Thanks mate. Though that is still only showing an image, that when clicked takes you to the photobucket page, not properly embedded like you can with youtube where they play from within the thread. Anyway... I don't care anymore, it's there if people wanna see it. Though it's more about the sound than the picture in that vid really.

bounty` why on earth was a charged is200 (correct me here) left for 3 years? lol

Bad circumstances, combined with a severe lack of funds, and MASSIVE debts (partially due to the Lexus, amongst other cars!) is essentially why. It was dropped down my list of priorities for a while. It's sad, but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Though even when I was at my most skint, I was still turning down offers, of up to £2500 for my charger kit and £500 for my Teins. Someone even offered £4000 for the car as it stood, which I respectfully declined.

I was going to strip this car for the parts I wanted, and then brake and/or scrap what was left. Now I am having second thoughts. The bodywork is virtually mint (apart from the obvious on that corner) as is the interior (though I expect that to find it's way into my new one pretty soon!) So you may see this one pop up in a Project Thread in future! Though it'll be a returning to stock project, the opposite of most project threads! Well, the misses has gotta drive something! :lol:

Oh, and what you can't see from the vid is that the front end is totalled, an entire corner of the vehicle is... well... missing!

Yeah, but I ran out of T-Cut, so decided to just not drive it instead.
