Thanks!

I was thrilled to find the discs close to me and cheap from California Import parts. I used to go there for parts for my orange '71 california style hot-rodded bug.

I like the KISS grille block. Would it be beneficial to close up the triangular hole on either end between the lexan and headlights/grille?
KISS? as in Gene Simmons?
I thought of that but for now I'm leaving it till I cover the headlights with plexi. I'm planning a large air dam which will eliminate the high pressure area below the bumper so I'll probably do it then.

The Previa is an engineering marvel. Toyota went all out on the engine design creating the lowest profile passenger vehicle engine by a large margin thus making the centre of gravity low enough for the minivan to handle like a car.

Seafoam green? My honey loves it but alas it's next colour will probably be creamsicle pearl orange.

Is that an Edsel in the background?!
Good eye. Not an Edsel but the same vintage. My honey's 1958 Ford Meteor (Canadian version of the Fairlane)



Ecomod this!
