More Van loving from the land of the rising sun . There's currently a big following over there for these so called 'Rape Vans ' , think big old Dodge vans ( as used by Buffalo Bill in silence of the lambs ! ) but with a bang on stance with custom coilovers on watanabe style wheels , white trye lettering and generally mean looking almost NASCAR'esque styling .
This weeks ebay uk selection features a nice green RWD Toyota Starlet , a lovely Toyota Celica serie 1 , a very clean Toyota Carina II , a stunning Toyota Century VIP wagon and a gold Nissan Laurel :-)
Seeing as I'm picking up some slotmags later today it seemed like an ideal time to post up a few pics of car's and vans with the aforementioned rims :-)
Back in the 70's custom vans were mega popular worldwide , unfortunately the trend then kinda died out and apart from VW's vans were rarely seen at show's unless they were being used to haul parts around . But now things have come full circle and over in Japan custom vans are seeing a major resurgence with some absolute beauties being built . As far as over here in Wales is concerned , well it would seem my compadre Tonmawrtiki's raked and slotmagged Nissan Homy is bang on the money style wise :-)
