- We took our 600,000 Mile Lexus LS430 to @ChicagoAutoPros Took the interior completely apart to bare metal and started all over.
In this part of the series we're back to assemble the car! We've had many challenges and many issues along the way but the final result is a brand new interior! I am truly amazed by the transformation.
Huge shout out to Jason and his team @ChicagoAutoPros for their skills, professionalism and hard work to bring this interior back to life! Thank you Jason!

I’ve been to Turkey twice. I absolutely love that Country and the people. Both times were awesome and the 8 months of my total time there was such a blessing. There is so much to see as a Christian in Turkey.
Amazing work!
Do you still have a link to that wood shifter? I got a 2009 RX I'd like to add this to.
@@arifmesfin2610 I second and third this! He is very busy but that series would be awesome!
After all is said and done, what would you charge a customer for all this labor and materials?
Bravo. The most comprehensive tear down and rebuild I’ve seen on a modern car. You and your team should be extremely proud.
I don't believe any other shop is likely to do this, at least not in the USA! The labor cost alone is enough to replace the entire car
@@robertmaybeth3434 very hard to replace the best mass produced car in the world...
@@robertmaybeth3434They've basically replaced the whole car with a "brand new" car. Well, it looks that way anyway. 💯😁👍🏻🙋🏼♂️
Indeed amazing job, but why didn’t they polish the headlights? Just ruins the finish.
@@davyarthurs I guess they still gonna do that once the Body Shop is sorted out the trunk😁
This is next level detailing and restoration. Thanks for putting such a well built car back on the street 👍🏻
This isn't "servicing" this is restoration work. But this particular Lexus probably deserves it.
This was so fun to watch. I have never seen anyone take such pride in their work as you do. This is my go to place for Toyota repair and maintenance information.
He did not screw it up Doug? Or maybe they have switched cars
I've restored many old, mostly classic cars (60s Mustangs, 70' Corvette, 92 NSX, etc, so I know the amount of work involved. Exceptional job !
Having been an Airline pilot and understanding how the FAA and airlines ready their airplanes. You have done a schedule D overhaul, which is precisely what you have done with this car. Really, folks, this is what they do in the aviation industry!
Please just fly the plane and don't be a comedian when you make on board announcements. And don't wake people up to give them scenic gray line tours of what is below. Please pass this along to your colleagues. Your time should be spent flyiing the plane and preparing the defibrillator in case you have a cardiac event from the boost- er when landing. thank you
@@errorsofmodernism9715 I would disagree. Many of us are happy to hear from the flight deck.
OK, WTF are you trying to say? Are you taking your frustrated flights out on me? Have YOU ever flown with me, believe me, if you did, you would have been IMPRESSED as hell! Talk to any passenger who flew with me!@@errorsofmodernism9715
@@errorsofmodernism9715he’s correct. This is what airlines do to these aircraft many times during its life. As for your smarta$$ comment, grow up.
Confirm: After 7 years an airplane is nearly completely renovated 😉 because of schedule maintenance demands parts to be exchanged for new before even close to breaking.
Wow! The LS430 is one of the greatest cars ever made and this “restoration” is perhaps the best ever! As a previous LS430 owner I am blown away! Craftsmanship is what comes to mind on the original car and your work is also craftsmanship!
Do you know the model year?
It’s a 2001 LS430
This has given at least 500k miles back to the LS. Well done AMD and team!
Not really
Just means when the engine fails it will need a new engine
One could do this to almost any car
@@joeblack1052 Except for the fact that engine could easily go a million, pretty sure that's the whole point of doing this.
@@rustyboltz2820 could or could fail tomorrow...
@@joeblack1052 A UZ series engine? If it's not exhibiting any symptoms I highly doubt that.
@@rustyboltz2820 there was metal in the oil at last oil change ...
The work has to be appreciated. Absolutely unreal. Looks fantastic!
I think the majority of your subscribers would be happy cloning you guys and putting a few of you in every state. I wish I had someone local like you near me. Amazing job by everyone!
What a gigantic job! This was fun to watch. I love the way the seats turned out. The quality of those parts that you were able to keep, the way you can bring something 20 years old and 600k miles back to looking new is amazing!
Thank you your expertise in all things Toyota and Lexus makes me appreciate our Lexus so much more
I was getting worried as weeks passed with no update on this car. WOW - fantastic job. Great to see the attention to detail and work ethic dispayed by both teams. I am sure Toyota will be happy to buy this car back. Amazing.
Wow. Perfection. You should put this on display in a Lexus showroom, it's a testament to how well these cars hold up.
This is what you call taking pride in your work and very proud of what you do! Good job to you and your team! Jason and his team are the best!
This entire series is inspirational and enjoyable. So much so, I turning my 2002 Lexus RX300 with 400,000 miles into a project car, a complete restoration. Thanks AMD!
The LS430 I just bought has 128K. On it and I bought it for $1,500. It’s a Ultra LUX model everything still works. Still needs some TLC. Looking forward to fixing it now more than ever
For only fifteen grand in labor, you could have it detailed like this one ...
54:29 - I fully support this decision. A tasteful object made with real wood by an artisan. 👍
That looks just like an SC430 shift knob lol. I think he could have just looked for that one
This series has been extremely satisfying to watch! I’ve always wanted to do this to a vehicle, but never found the time, money nor do I have your technical expertise in order to complete all this work. Thanks for sharing!
Scott,
I tackled this early in life at 15 in 1981! ;) Dad and I bought a 67 GMC C15 farm truck. Took it completely apart inside and started over,the only thing we farmed out was the rear main and the rusted rockers. The rest was in surprisingly good shape. I can still smell the moldy corn and mice behind the seat. lol I got it out of my system for many years , but I'm about ready to tackle one again at 56 yo while I still can. If you find the right vehcile candidate you'd be surprised how reasonably it can be accomplished. God Bless!
Wow!!
Nothing more to add.
The Joy in AMD's face and mine at the end was pure heaven!
Congrats to AMD, Jason and the rest of the crew using their expertise and love in reviving this true Japanese gem of a car, sharing it with the world!!!
I like how you turned back the hands of time, what a beautiful restoration.
Incredible job. Seeing this car get the love it deserves is so satisfying.
Not sure if anyone caught on but at the end. It looks like the Mark Lev system got an overhaul with a new amp that has android auto/apple car play. Wont spoil for those who don't know but I will say that is one $$$ box. For the sake of integration and keeping the OE radio, I'd say its worth it.
I cannot confirm nor deny this 😂
Hahaha does the climate control buttons and everything still work then? I cannot believe how beautiful that wood is.
Wow Jason 😮 it’s great to see people still do great work.
I thoroughly enjoyed the collaboration between these two guys, two perfectionists that are masters at their own fields.
That was probably THE best time spent watching a car restoration! Thank You for taking us along on the LS journey AMD, cannot wait for future episodes!!!
Been waiting so much for this video thank you شكرا لك
Congratulations Ahmed to both you and Jason -- and of course to your respective dedicated crews -- for such a successful in-depth restoration of your classic 600k+ miles LS430! Looking forward to the future updates as you continue to button-up the remaining loose ends you've mentioned. I also hope we get to see the final exterior paint/glass/headlamp restoration segments too, since being The Car Care Nut you are, I know it would drive you crazy if those items were left undone. So, from one fellow LS430 owner to another, I can't thank you enough for sharing all of the time and effort you put into this beautiful vehicle. Even after all these years, I still appreciate the engineering and build quality that Lexus put into my '06 LS430 each time I get behind the wheel. 👍👍👍
Ah, looks like i'm going to have to wait to watch, it won't play yet!
I've been waiting for this! No doubt it's going to look great!
Something wrong with the upload. Or TH-cam is throttling it
@@mikej238yeah, still not working.
Is it still not working? Please let me know
@@TheCarCareNut i just checked again (after using TH-cam) still sits forever and won't play.
Wow, I still can't watch this... how weird.
I wonder how long it will take to finally work. Maybe in the morning.
Awesome job! I’ve been anxious to see the final product, at least as far as the detailing and reassembly. So much attention to detail, and so much care for doing the job properly. It’s a brand new 600,000 mile car! Congratulations!
I’m speechless. Truly an amazing video. Thanks for sharing.
Your videos are more entertaining than any car show on tv. Just car content without the constant video cuts and loud exhausting tv hosts
Get the disk! Risk it for the biscuit! Also the shift knob is amazing!
Wow, AMD. Can this be the same car I saw at your garage?!? What a transformation! Congratulations to all that worked on this car. No beverages allowed!
Btw, I had hoped Weather Tech had 430rubber mats, too. I ended up cutting larger mats (not well) to fit. Note that OEM black, ash or cashmere LS430 floor mats are still available on eBay if that gap on the 460 mat bothers you.
This now belongs to a museum somewhere. I am not sure if there is another high mileage Toyota/Lexus sedan that is this immaculate, again. Probably not.
Can we safely say nobody has ever torn down, cleaned, and restored a Lexus LS to this level?
Been waiting for this transformation. It’s incredible!!!
Not only is your content outstanding but your video production is getting better and better, an academy award soon!
AMD, Would calling for a national holiday to commemorate this monumental achievement be asking too much? 🤔😉😁
I love this series! Near the end of the video you realize this is a true restoration. It looks brand new and it has over 1,000,000km! Then I thought about the fact that it's cleaned all the way to the inside and it really is like new! All I could think is... "AMD is nuts"... that's why he is the Car Care Nut. Way to go to you and your whole team! This is such a cool project. I can't wait to see you hit 1,000,000 miles!
Love bro's enthusiasm when looking at how good the detailing is
Incredible effort from all concerned, very well done guys, a piece of magic! 👏👍😀
I’m been watching this channel religiously for a year. Total noob to anything car related. I buy them , maintain them great , and eventually sell. I have a 2020 Lexus ES350 as my everyday car and a 1998 BMW 528i. This channel gave me the courage to finally buy a tool kit and begin working on it as my hobby . The BMW has only 95k miles on it as I’ve maintained it meticulously but I never thought I would personally work on it . Thank you Car Nut for getting guys like me who never had a person to teach me how to fix cars. I’ve learned so much from you I can actually contribute to car conversations finally lol
Put bolts in Ziploc bags and mark the bags with Sharpie with notes. It takes a little more time but is invaluable when doing a complex disassembly/reassembly of an unfamiliar vehicle. Use as many bags as needed and then stack and or number them in order.
That's exactly what they did.. watch the video
Folks! We're car care nuts, this is what we do! 👍👌💪
I will suggest you try the map disk since you went that far, no details should be left behind. Let's make it perfect!
Wow the attention to details is spectacular. The restoration is amazing. I have a 2001 Avalon with more than 450k miles which have been a part of the family since day 1. Still drives and nothing feels like it nowadays. I really want to restore it but I’ll never get it to this point. I don’t have the patience or the expertise to do such things. I enjoyed watching this journey and I hope you enjoy driving it for many more miles. Big fan of your work 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video. I have learned that when I take something apart (like the steering wheel disassembly) I try to remember to take a photo. I am just a DIYer and I know that reassembly can be a challenge....
During the Covid hiatus I decided to take my 1995 Toyota T100 extra cab SR5 apart and redo it much the same way you did your car. Just much less complicated. I found a beautiful carpet kit for it and put sound deadening material on the floor. The dash was perfect as I have owned this truck for 28 years. I polished out the instrument cluster and it amazingly looks brand new. All new LEDs here also. I refinished the steering wheel and column cover. I redid the door panels and replaced the radio speakers with good quality speakers. I found a nice Pioneer radio that fit perfectly in the double din opening. Even has satellite radio, usb, etc. I also replaced ALL the old bulbs with LEDs that made an incredible difference. Those old halogens just weren't cutting it. This included the exterior lighting , the dash, and all interior lights.
I understand how elated you are with your 600,000 Lexus. My truck has only 170k miles, but it too is like new. The exterior is perfect with no rust. I finished it off with "TRD Sport" factory decals on the side panels that look so very cool on this old 1995 truck. It was a very rewarding project. Wish I could send a photo.
Your channel is great.
Excellent! I wonder if you will say how much this super detail job cost. And everything in general of course. So many hours and parts invested.
The video paid for it. Free advertising too. Win win.
Congratulations.. regards from Athens Greece...
Great job on your 600K miles Lexus. I enjoyed you videos of relentless pursuit of perfection on this car and it’s ready to go another 600K. Keep up the great job you are doing and educating some of us that are less mechanical. Your 600K Lexus may end up in a Lexus museum someday……………
Guys I have no words to say.. Simply Amazing!!!
I really really like this project. So unique having a professional mechanic and a detailer working together. And I love AMD’s professional approach on things.
It is so nice refreshing a classic beautiful car refreshed.
What I DON’T understand is going to this extreme on a 600,000 mile car. AMD never scoped the engine that I remember. Therefore another awesome chapter would be AMD working together with a Pro engine rebuilder. Top to bottom.
It's an OCD thing, kind of difficult to enjoy the car if it stinks, makes noises or doesn't look or drive right. The only way to get a true opulent feel from the car is to have it close to original as possible, and having a project like this is fun especially since you know you're saving a classic Lexus from the junkyard while having Matt Farah style bragging rights. UZ engines are also pretty stout so I don't think it'll be an issue long term even if it wasn't meticulously maintained.
Wow!! It looks like a brand new car! 😻
This is the BEST detailing job and most extensive remodeling to a car ever done! Love it a lot! I love TOYOTA and LEXUS cars. I wish mine could last that long, even now they are running close to 200k miles and running like new because I have a really good mechanic who used to work in TOYOTA factory in Japan. Especially Japanese made cars, with proper maintenance, they run forever!
WOW! AMD. Outstanding video. Not sure how you could put it all back together, but I am impressed! Cool! 😎
Sir, I know not how many children you have, but I believe this Lexus is akin to "birthing" another! The physical and mental efforts you and your staff exerted (probably wife too!) define excellence and perseverance galore. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you.
It seems like I was watching the impossible happen! Great job 👌
This project has been so satifying. Jason is a true craftsman and I cant wait to watch his video. Videos like this are one of my favorite things to watch. I just thoroughly enjoy watching things getting restored to like new or almost like new. Amd, you are one impressive mechanic. The thought of undertaking a radical complete teardown of an interior and putting it back together weeks later is something I cannot comprehend. It's a true testament to your confidence in your abilities as a mechanic. After switching to Lexus in Sept. '22, coming from a couple decades of owning only Infinitis, your channel has made the transition seamless for me and I've learned so much from your channel. The 430 looks amazing and I feel like I'm a part of this project because of how youve shared your journey with YT. Keep up the outstanding work!!
Please retrofit CarPlay into the original navigation screen! There are kits that you can buy online!
Have loved watching this, and videos since you bought this car. I have a 2002 LS 430 which I love dearly, and plan to keep indefinitely, it's the nicest all around car I've ever driven, and I am glad to see you appreciate it like I do. And I've had 5 series bmw, 6 series, and also have a Lexus SC 430 which I love, but the LS 430, it's something special!!
You are the NUT CARE CAR guy and I mean that from the bottom of my heart I love watching your videos you definitely go above and beyond for your customers and your personal projects.
it'll have better pickup now too, since its probably 100lbs lighter!
The idea of 100lb of dirt, mold and grime is scary but it sounds about right!
I’ve been looking forward to this video! You guys did not disappoint! Wish it was economically feasible to bring back classics like this
More 1+ hour video?! You're spoiling us AMD!
I wish Lexus/Toyota sees this and gives AMD special foolproofing QC supervisor status on all their future models. The Rolls-Royce of the masses will be born as a result.
Hope this isn't the last we see of the car. I hope Lexus invites you over when the car hits million miles.
Thank you so much CCN for sharing this adventure on how Refreshed & Revived the 600k LS 430. I am currently looking at LS 460's 08 to 14 for purchase. Keep up the good work 👍.
Are you sure you really want a 460?
@@wholeNwon 100%. I'm a gear head, I drove one and it was the best most reliable and luxurious car I've driven since 1975.
@@aaronlopez492 As you may know, AMD has made negative comments about them. I would agree but it's all relative. Best of luck with yours.
Gorgeous and absolutely worthy
I see this car going many more years
05/430 owner here. Yeah, I am jealous. I want this to be done in my baby. it's only 120k miles and I want it running in next 20 years.
It looks Glorious👌.Jason is the man!
Glad you’re having fun with this project. Also a big thumbs up to the producer, the video looks great.
That's not some one having fun hahah. That's a true car guy torturing himself for the sake of his passion. You need dedication and commitment for jobs like this. Fun has nothing to do with it.
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ! ! !
An Incredible amount of work but it's "Better Then New!"
I wish you many many hundreds of thousands of smooth quiet miles in this car!
Looking forward to future "updates" to the car.
Amazing! Just Amazing! Excellent job by everyone involved in this 600,000+ mile 2001 Lexus LS 430 project. Its great to know that there are still skilled, competent, capable, handy, detail oriented professionals who take pride in their work! ✌🏼🙏🏼
MARVELOUS...SIMPLY MARVELOUS 🤌🤌
It looks so amazing (again) that I would think you would be scared to drive it to avoid anything happening to it. Even though you said you wanted to get it to a million miles.
True but if I were him I would be feeling like the car is indestructible now no matter what I do to it because I am nothing like those previous owners, hopefully most people that you know are not like that either.
I have been following this 600000 + miler Lexus restoration. I am amazed at the passion of all the guys involved, especially the narrator ‘Car Care Nut’.
I thoroughly enjoyed this.
As always, I enjoyed watching AMD work. However, the most amazing part of this video was AMD using a non-Toyota, Home Depot bolt in the car. I anxiously await the follow up video where he gets a genuine Toyota bolt , completely disassembles, and re-assembles the car with the bolt and declares "Life is good!".
Great work AMD and Jason! How nice if TCCN/AMD donate this renew LS for his TH-camr viewers as a lottery draw for his/their subscribers! Just me dreaming😂😂😂
What an absolute gem! This was a project well worth the effort. One of the coolest facts about the 430 is that the engine was the only one in automotive history to be certified to be used in aviation applications by the FAA. This is a true testament to Toyota's engineering. This makes me want to look out for a used one.
Jason, I so appreciate your ability, talent and dedication to detailing...you are a True Master!!! I only dream about being so OCD...in a good way! In no small way is TCCN any less dedicated to details...in a more mechanical way....this is one of the most amazing TH-cam segments EVER!!!! CONGRATULATIONS to ALL!!!!!
A lot of work, this is why good shops charge so much money. It took me 10 hours to change out the timing belt and water pump in my LS400. Excellent video AMD.
Great series! This summer, my son and I worked on replacing the heater core on his Honda and my wife’s Mustang. As he and I were watching you and the team put the dashboard back together and the care you had with keeping track of all the bolts, we both appreciated the mishaps along the way. I had to pull the dash out twice on the civic because of a bound up harness that was stuck behind the crash bar…that’s ok :-). That’s how we learn. Thank you for the journey and sharing all of the challenges along the way. For me and my son, we’re tackling replacing a head gasket in part because of the inspiration of channels like yours. Thank you AMD and team for a job well done.
Question: How do you arrange or plan out where you put the part, nuts and bolts so when you replace them you know what goes where? Cardboard with bolts thru them with labels? Spread sheets?
We labeled them by area. So dash upper, dash lower drivers side passenger side. And in some cases by major components. All seat bolts go together, all bolts related to the backseat area go together.
Great experiment! Keep us up on it.
This will be a good morning movie, I better go get my coffee and bread.😅
I’m so amazed how you, your crew, and Jason and his team, made this such a great adventure. All of you are magical!
100 hours of labor at $150 average hourly rate comes to $15,000. So yeah, I'd expect my old car to look pretty damn new for a $15,000 labor investment on detailing! Though, I think I'd rather just buy a mint low mileage car up front with the extra money...That aside, this is a great testament to what an OCD person can do given the time and resources.
Ya, with all the work done on this car, it’s gotta be getting close to the cost of a new RAV4 or even more. How many people could afford to do this to a car?
He himself admitted the car is NOT worth even 5% of what is being done to it. This is not an investment, nor is he trying to get any value out of it at all
He probably makes good money in the shop, all revenue from youtube is icing on the cake and most likely paid for all of it.
I was hoping at the start of this project to learn whether it would be a good idea to get a project like this and have it restored. I have my answer - even without $15K in detailing, resoundingly "no".
The end result looks great! I’m not sure I’d qualify it as a million mile car though. By the time a million miles rolls by, not much of the original car will remain.
Awesome job!
Have you heard of any torque converter issues with a 2014 corolla cvt. Thanks
Hi! I haven’t seen any personally. But lack of service of the transmission and high mileage could cause torque converter issues
I’ve enjoyed the whole series on your LX 430, it’s an Awesome series I wish I lived in Chicago just to be near top notch mechanics like you.
I don't know how these guys do it, but that is a FACTORY NEW interior. I've done enough detailing myself to not even have the words for that level of skill.
I'll ask what everyone wants to know: If a customer had brought the car to you for all this work, including the usual shop charge for that "detailing", approx. what would the bill have been...so far?
At least $10,000.
@avery4528 Yeah, at least. Maybe even closer to 15k. But you also need a mechanic in house to perform the tear down and rebuild. This is all on top of all the other mechanical work and labor he's put into this beautiful car over the course of this series. It's been incredible to watch :)
We’ll break down the costs in a later video for everyone to know
Amazing job ; I just wonder if you were going to sell it , how much will you sell it for ? Just asking. 😊
In all honesty I don’t think it will be much valuable as it’s still a 22 year old car with high mileage. That’s why I think this one is here to stay for a while with me
Ahmed you were not kidding when you said "COMMITTED" and I see now what you were aiming for, just incredible dedication, Kudos Amigo....Javi G.
I miss my early 70’s Oldsmobiles even more after watching this. Much more simple, not as good, but more simple.
I would like to keep my current 2010 Mazda6 working as long as possible, it has 375K miles now.
Axle seal in trans leaks slightly but works great, only cure for the leak is rebuild the trans. I’m gonna drive it until it fails to proceed.
This was a fantastic video.
This was Alex at legit, streetcars level.
A very Inspiring project. Congratulations. The fuel gauge bounces around (possible issues with the fuel sender unit?)
Thank you. This is how these are. All the gauges bounce when you first start the car but stays steady afterwards
@@TheCarCareNut Surprised with such a level of expectation from Lexus engineering they would oversee that detail. 😁
You’re right. Both fuel sender units have to be replaced. This bounce is not normal.
How do I get to work with you guys . Started watching all your vids yesterday. Now I want to work with you. I don't care if I get paid just love the level of professionalism
Love the detail spent on restoring this vehicle. It is wonderful to see a vehicle produced past 1990 that is not disposable. In a day where almost all vehicles are treated as disposable. This is just great.
"the faces are not happy anymore" lol AMD you crack me up. If I had to use one word to describe all of this, it would definitely be committed. You are just absolutely brilliant and committed to greatness!
I can only imagine how much this cleaning cost.😮
You could have bought another car for what it cost!
4200$ well worth it. Its perfect.!
