Awesome job! When you opened that sliding door, it really took my breath away. The simpicity of the whole thing is amazing. Thank you for inspiring me to work on my minivan. 🙂

i have one 1997 toyota previa.already, we using it 24 years. still same as a brand new van.

Very attractive interior layout. One question: how to you check the oil level? On Previa's, unless there's been some change I don't know of, the driver's seat has to be tipped back to access the dip stick. How is that done in this build, with the refrigerator up against the driver's seat back?

Nice, how do you like yours so far? my neighbor has one a lil beat up he's selling for $500...I'm thinking of offering him $400 for it and converting it. Im worried about putting a lot of money into the interior and then the van stops running though. Although it still runs well.

I bought my 91 Toyota previa last year with 140k from original owner gave me all the service receipts and all. Runs like a champ but I recently started having a oil leak from I think the head gasket or something. But when I drive long distances I looks like Cheech and Chong are driving haha

Check also the valve cover gasket, and the seals on the distributor. There are easy and cheap fixes.

@OttoEx Hi, I would really love a response to this comment. I bought this van and the front coilover struts are now due for replacement (since June really) but I have had the most horrendous time trying to find a pair to replace what was put on by OttoEx and when I reached out myself they could not provide any helpful information. @Matz0123456789 what did you end up using??

@jesp999 11 ай бұрын

oops you never want to kill the battery power off when the diesel heater is running, instead you should first hit off on the heater control, panel so it can cool down with the fan. otherwise it could melt the spastic housing on the heater.

@@maceyvaughan3498 No, I can do it the way it is, but if someone needed to access the engine compartment without the seat in the way, it takes 2 minutes to remove that cabinet. It's a squeeze if I leave it in, but doable without too much effort.

Previa owner here. Access doesn’t change as a result of this build (as far as I can tell). One still gets to the motor via the panels under the front seats. The engine is all forward of the new floor. It’s not in the doghouse of the 80s Toyota Van.
