I'm back with my new project Estima!

I have been looking for the Previa for almost a year.
I finally found one couple weeks ago!
It is a 91 LE model with 121K miles.

Overall the van still looks clean (it has dent at the gas door side, need to pull out later.) I just order replacement rear sunroof due to it crack. The AC was fixed by the dealer free of charge (due to the recall of expansion valves for 91-93 models.) They also change my wiper motors for free (recall item too.) I am still looking for the sliding door handle and the rear trunk liftgate which I might get it online. Just pick up some caption seats from junk yard last weekend. I would like to replace the middle bench seat. I will start with my air suspension first this time. I still have to order some air lines, fittings, & wire hardness. Then, I will work on my bodykit, do the JDM conversion & repaint the whole car.

Here is some bone stock pics!

nice to hear that you found your Previa... also, 91 LE is the best one out of all the years and models. one thing about the captins chairs for the middle.... the holes in the original seats will not match up to the captins chairs. only 1 bolt will match up and have to drill new holes for it. and you have to drop the fuel tank to drill for the inner chair. ask me how i know.... haha

good luck and the pictures didn't show up.

Never really was much a fan of the Lucida Tails for some reason....different for sure. Someone do the Celtima Conversion because I know that I will never be able to live out that dream.
