Looks spot on mate... It's a nice bus Interior does look sweet with the headunit in. Will be cool for family road trips will that.

Don't know what's happening to me but I'm quickly changing teams and have a new love for Toyota. Hilux surf joined the family last year and now have recently got an Alphard as a daily. I absolutely love it. However seems to have mixed opinions amongst my friends, obviously some of them don't get the JDM life. Gonna be a small project this one. Fixing niggles. And some maintenance. Few upgrades and some nice wheels at some point soon. Start with some pics of the beast.

That looks sweet as mate, really suits that head unit. Can't believe you managed to retrofit Cruise control, that's amazing! The one thing I wish DD and Poppy both had. Which android unit did you go for, is that the Atoto or the Xtrons? Oh, and was it a "true" double Din size as most of those ones aren't lol

Yep, one later today, then a big snowy one on Friday

More storms due? Really windy here again. Which is usually the backlash of what goes on up there

Glad to see that she's tucked up safe before these next storms kick off properly. Nice that you got hold of that trim as new as well.

So far fiddled with a few bits just to bring it upto date. Fitted cruise control which was incredibly simple, couldn't believe it worked tbh. I've switch the japanese headunit out for an Android unit. Cost a fair whack but has 6gb ram and a lovely OLED screen. Very impressed with it. Managed to get reverse camera and steering controls etc All functioning like like they should. Wireless Android auto aswell which is nice. Also fitted a usb port on the dash for wired connections.

There are quite a few setups you can have. There are both 3l and 3.5l V6. 2.4l hybrids which are 4wd electric back end on them. And this one which is the basic 2.4l. boring I know. But as a daily I wanted something with the least to go wrong. Already found out parts are incredibly expensive. Lovely drive Tho. Very quiet and relaxed.

Deffo gonna look into that as tbh, I'm not a fan of filler! Know I'm going to respray the bonnet and VTiS front lip at some point as the paint is shocking on both now with tiny stone chips (not so tiny ones on the lip!) but filler always sinks/shrinks/cracks over time.

Just a wee update with photos this time! So managed to get a hold of what are believed to be the last brand new packet of windscreen trim clips in the uk for our cars (although they are in a sealed oem "Rover 400" bag. Got them fitted to the new windscreen trip piece and fitted nice and secure. And the dent in the bonnet (close up). It looks worse in this photo than it really is. As can be seen from this angle.. The scratches came out of it all nicely, including the front passenger wing. Last two are just DD in the crib lol

Yeah, fairly sure they don't.

I don't think so mate.
