This unique Toyota Previa (Estima/Tarago)—the beloved "Egg Van" with its unconventional mid-engine layout—was showing its age, but we're giving this minivan legend a complete second life! Join us for a full, detailed, frame-on rebuild to restore its unique charm and renowned reliability. In this massive project, we face the challenge of its unique design: a comprehensive mid-mounted engine service and mechanical overhaul, addressing any rust and body issues typical of a family hauler, and a deep interior rejuvenation to bring back the spacious and comfortable family-friendly feel. This is the definitive revival of a truly special JDM van! Watch the entire process: from the initial worn condition, through the complex mechanical work (getting to that mid-engine!), the body transformation, to the final stunning reveal and the first family drive test.
