I remember back in the '80s there was a company in Adelaide that made body kits to turn a TA22 Celica into a Ferrari, a VW Beetle into a Porches, and then they got themselves into serious trouble when they turned HJ Holdens into a Rolls Royce!!
The Celica and the Porsche I've definitely seen when I was living there. The Rolls I've only seen online. Sure, I can understand RR feeling a little insulted, but IMO the HJ looked pretty tidy from the get go. Though, I recall the HJ RR looking quite well done.
I saw one of those HJ Holdens with the Rolls Royce on Australian ebay recently and funny thing is they were trying to sell it for $40K+ when there are real Rolls Royce Silver Spirits generally advertised around $30K.
Those really cought me off guard, that front end was such a great conversion!! I really don't mind conversions of that kind. I know people here in the west cringe a lot but when done tastefully there's nothing bad you can say about them. Awesome looking cars!!! 😁 Kinda reminds me of those beetles with rolls royce grilles but good 😆
So much to take in for a short video, wow! The kei cars look cool. Then there's the mr2, excellent job. Can't wait for the mini cobra feature. And the there's the kei vans, I would love to see more about them
I think it looks great! Some retro vibes it has. Have you seen the bodykit which was available for FB RX-7 and it looks like a little Corvette? I think it's really cool.
Good day daniel! How are you? Just love to see all those content of yours and appreciate the car spotting culture in japan where those cars are so rare that you can't find it elsewhere anymore
Those Cappuccino’s were a well designed little car. Do you remember the S-Cargo? By Nissan. Seen a couple of pimped out versions of those in France! All those micro vans with the body kits - such the coolness 😎
I recall seeing a first-gen Mustang with a GM LT1 V8 - “Corvette” intake plenum logo and all - at a show somewhere in Michigan years ago. Have you seen any creative Aus/NZers done any GM/Ford powertrain swaps into Japanese sporty cars? Loving the creativity behind those kei-customs, BTW!
Dan, do you know in North Sydney, as I remember 1 Pacific Hwy North Sydney, a car shop in the 90’s, called, “The Toy Shop”? I saw one of those cappuccino’s there in maybe 1993.
Thank you for another incredible video! I'd love to drive a cappuccino one day. Supposedly I'm too tall for it, but I still like to try one day! You know I love odd things and this would fit right in my alley of weird and wonderful things! 👍 Also a wonderful thing is that second generation Carina coupe! Any more information on that one?
Not something I see everyday, for sure. Have seen twice. 2nd time, I hung around like a hardcore stalker hoping the owner would turn up. Fingers crossed for next time
Hey, man. No Premier with the live chat, and not much of a video either this week. Had a doctors appointment today, so honestly thought I wasn't going to be able to get any video up. Oh, but I did make a supporters exclusive video which is even uploaded (but haven't posted it yet.) I'll blast out a link tomorrow for you. Stay cool
Wow that Cobra is well done, seems to be scaled just right👍

RR Holden?.Now this is being an absolute madlad
@@wasabicars do you like russian hummer "tiger GAZ"?
that mr2 spyder whit 86 bodykit looks amazing
Big improvement over the original fascias!
There is a legend that the Suzuki Lapin had a conversion on its front similar to the Renault 4. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
Creo que lo he visto en algún sitio de Internet,pero sí,lo conozco

Good, thanks :) I appreciate those words. And, you've been subbed for 6 years?! Awesome. Thank you again
@@wasabicars yes daniel! i have been a subscriber for your channel for that long :) keep up the good work!
3:03 Yeah,that Cappuchino Cobra,I know it,it's a cool miniature

All those micro vans with the body kits - such the coolness 😎
I haven’t seen anything Dan but I think we need a video of all those crazy conversions especially the one with the 57 chev front 👍👍
Cool Cappuchino,it looks cute and well done with that Yota-Hachi face
where can i find the yotacino body kit?
yotaccino
Sorry, I don't know the shop. You'll have to do it the hard way; Google and Yahoo Auction Japan, then some export company
thank you
I learn so much from you man!!!! Thank you.
There was some info in this? Hahaha. Hey, my pleasure :)

Loving the creativity behind those kei-customs, BTW!
I thoroughly enjoy this about Japan. Especially love all the different kei van fronts. Spotted some beauties over there!
Lol! Yes. Some are truly inspired
Dan, do you know in North Sydney, as I remember 1 Pacific Hwy North Sydney, a car shop in the 90’s, called, “The Toy Shop”? I saw one of those cappuccino’s there in maybe 1993.
Daniel, you've got to look up the Folden..... An old Holden with a mustang face.
cool :). unusual to see a cappuccino with white plates, hahaha
Grown up Cappu?
Back in the day there was an really weird Aussie custom, a hg Holden with a 65 Ford Mustang front!
A... H... G!??!?! Wow. The NZ HQ I've certainly seen. Not the HG. Sounds intruiging

thats a big ol bowl of interesting. first glance you see something looking like a 2000gt but hey, wait a minute, thats too small to be real. i like it
Where can i get a body kit like that?
Boy am I lucky to find you, instant subscribe
Hi, Gabriel. So glad to hear that. Welcome :)
that's a sweet ride right at the start and I really like the color
For sure. The extra level of visual tune the first one got was probably needed.
Wow, the Duck is looking good !
AU falcon front end on an S13 and R33!
they all look good,
We have at least 1 cappuccino in holland. Cheers mate.
I remember seeing this front end on yahoo auctions about a year ago.
Was it on a candy apple red cappuccino?
@@wasabicars it was. I actually have the picture.
Next time you're in Canberra Dan, you can drive mine
ooooh... that baby Cobra!!! WOW
r there baby Corvettes too?!? :)))
Looking forward to a feature on that baby Cobra, certainly not something you see every day.
Not something I see everyday, for sure. Have seen twice. 2nd time, I hung around like a hardcore stalker hoping the owner would turn up. Fingers crossed for next time
Cappuccino Perfect coffee and cars vehicle
Hahaha! Yes. The only way you could top it would be to put a Cappuccino face on a coffee van and serve drinks ;-)
@@wasabicars truuuu
L O V E the Cobra-chino!
Looks like a Toyota 2000 in the front kinda
Same manufacturer, same era... same cool factor ;-)
Damn no kazoo music : (
yotachino interesting
💗❤💗❤💗
Thank you :)
AU front the world (lol!)
Gday Dan

It's cool. I'm hoping somebody does it for the ugly new BMWs.
New, you say? Then I may even have seen one, but not noticed. Lol
