Dad picked up an LS 170 last fall. I've been picking off the little problems over the winter/spring. Finally sprayed some color and new decals. He's happy with it.

Looks really nice! What other repairs did you make besides the paint job?

Thanks,
It started out just fixing the small stuff that needed attention and since I've had a slow season it snowballed into paint and decals...:pointhead
Nothing major was done (knock on wood) mostly all minor upkeep stuff that was never attended to:
replaced a hydraulic line
put the brackets back in the right location
took the slop out of the attach plate bushings
reset the parking brake so that it works
fixed the throttle so that it didn't creep
traced down an intermittent electrical gremlin :Banghead
fixed the work lights
chipped off a half yard of concrete;)
etc etc
It's not a pro job, but from 10' it looks OK. Plus if work doesn't pick up it'll be ready for the auction! :thumbsup
