#513145Toyota Previa from Europe
Hello ;)First of all, my name is Tautvydas, I am from Europe, Lithuania. My friendship with VIP style, minivans, and etc began when I bought this Toyota Previa from an elderly lady, which sold it cheap because it could not start. Changed the air flow meter and everything was fine. I used it only for work and daily purposes for almost a year, then started modyfing it. Here are the earliest pictures I managed to find.
First of all I bought the rims, which are Schmidt Phantom R19 8.5 in front and 9.5 in rear. They were painted black and paint was bad, so I immediately put them to repaint and polishing, also bought 225/35 tyres.
After that, I started to look for something more, to get the car lower and more different. Then I found upgarage and importmonster. From there I bought "Bold World" air suspension kit, Estima headlights, tail lights, indicators, grill, Garson D.A.D. DX-Edition front and rear bumpers, and Gialla Platinum sideskirts with door caps. Waited for two months for everything to be shipped to my house.
Then I started putting everything together. Everything got installed, side indicators deleted, rear wiper and washer deleted, also bought OEM wing, fixed everything that was bad (minimal rust, dents, etc). The most difficult was to mod the sideskirts with door caps to suit my car body (LHD). Then it got painted white, and black vinyl was used to make black lines, pillars, and roof.
Then I attended a show off. Won Best JDM nomination, and most extraordinary car of event nomination.
However, I do not have that part between headlights and bumper. Future plans - get lower, more camber, buying that missing front part, full body polishing, and some interior mods. When will I do this - I don't know, because no additional money for these things right now, that is why it is currently for sale. I love this car and do not really want to sell it, because very much work was done by myself, and even more money put in it, but a very big need for money right now and even bigger dream to drift is why I would sell it :) However, work with it does not stop, keep updated ;)
Comments are welcome :)
