Reviving the rusted beast - lx570 full restoration journey

Once a decaying Lexus LX abandoned in a scrapyard—its body smeared with rust stains, broken windows, and a wrecked interior—this luxury SUV was nearly forgotten. The restoration began with a complete disassembly, followed by sandblasting to remove rust and the application of industrial-grade rust-proof primer. The chassis was laser-checked and realigned to factory specs. The engine was overhauled, and all major systems, including electronics and HVAC, were rebuilt or replaced. The interior was reimagined with new premium leather upholstery and a fully digital dashboard. After hundreds of meticulous hours, the beast was reborn—gleaming, powerful, and ready to conquer the roads once again.
