Default Officialy owner of 3 boxes :D

Well - i was waiting for a moment like this :D Bought my first Xb in US auctions 3 month back, second 2 month back, and bought Toyota BB at the same time as i bought my first Xb... Now i have them all standing in my yeard lol, what a view...

Wife already can not wait till she be driving her red candy Box :D Satin grey one will be for sale (just a remonder - we never got Xb / Bb in Europe - so this kinda makes Box totaly exclusive :D), and bB - parted out - cuz for me was cheaper to import bB from japan then sourcing all the Xb parts (no chance at all - and shipping from US kills...)

I will have lots and lots of spare stuff left from bB - soo i will be posting all the stuff from bB in FS topics - so if anyone sees somthing intresting - and worth a penny - shot me a PM :D

And another thing - i will try to make a tread about rebuilding both of my damaged Boxes, will try to take as much pics / info as posible - maybe this will help some people who are more DIY type (like me :D )

Well - for now - enjoy the pics

All 3 together:


bB vs Xb:


Totaly scraped Xb (2006 / 06 with 3000 miles on the clock - will be changing part of the front frame on it - lots of work - but well worth then you manage to get the car for 2000$ ;) )


My first Xb that i bought in Aucions (2004 one - lighty damaged on the pass side - both doors need to be replaced...)


And my donor car :D 2002 bB


Here are some nice JDM stuff that Xb never got

honestly i love one piece look front seats - and they are 2x more confortible then Xb seats... but damn i can not install them in my Xb cuz i would have to somehow make the shifter like on bB - on the wheel... And handbrake would need to be made as a "foot brake"

MD / CD player lol - kinda old school?


Nice woodtrim all around :D


Cup holder in a kinda strange place :D


lol speedo looks like on some old cars kinda:


And finally JDM bB carpets - feels like home :D

well i already figured what will be for sale and what will be left for my wife Xb :D One thing i noticed that bB has totaly different bumpers, and they are kinda less bumped.. Even the front support bar is different on bB, so i guess i will have to use bB bumpers to keep the bB look on wifes Xb .

Next tusday all the works begins, till then - i have to fully reasemble this bB and get rid of all the crap i dont need :D

Yeah, but the cars aren't nice japanese ones... instead there is like a rusty Scirocco, a faded red volvo wagon, a mid 80s Porshe 940, a Ford Maverick, and mix and match K-Cars...

Default True bB

I would put that bB back on the road if I had it. No way would I part it out.

Not at all into the wood, but that's true JDM shizzle there The column shifter is cool
