I’m going to continue watching your videos until you stop making them. Honestly, I’ve been watching your videos for over almost 2 years and this hasn’t been my favorite build. But at first I didn’t like the rally Miata then it became on of my favorites. Keep building man. Looking forward to see what’s next!!
Egoboost I mean people do not appreciate new stuff. People just wanna watch the same old things like a 240z or a rice Miata or whatnot. I like Molly and didn't like the Rallyata, but then after a while I really love it after seeing all the videos. This van is rad and I would continue to watch all the videos
I understand that it’s a shitty rust bucket but the fact that your friend had to make it worse by scratching the front fender with a key for literally no reason kind of pisses me off. Anyways still a cool and unique build, and continue working on it just scrap the apocalypse theme and just make it rally, and make it somewhat a “clean” build without intentionally breaking things just because “why not”. Hope this is helpful :)
Matthew Collins maybe, I’m not really that pissed like I said, but I’m just pointing it out. But I do love the build a lot, it is very unique and that is what I love about gingium.
If A Hard Impact Were To Happen, Via Hard Enough Jump Offroading The Roll Cage Isn’t Going Anywhere But It Will Just Rip The Rust Apart And Destroy The Frame
I don’t understand that people wouldn’t like this. This is way more cool than a Miata, it’s so unique and miatas are so common and overplayed. I think this and your adventure bus are my favorite builds.
If I were you, I wouldn’t worry too much about the views right now. I’ve never been a TH-camr, so I guess I don’t really understand how it works, but I would think that the time of year has to be somewhat responsible for the drop in views. A lot of your fan base are teenagers to college age people, and right now is honestly a very rough stretch of school. Wait until mid-June and I’m sure your views will start climbing back up. You are a fantastic content creator and I always love your videos. Keep up the good work
I love it being lifted but I don't care for the apocalypse theme. I would like to see a clean build. Your really good at clean builds. But I watch every video to support you.
Atomic Garage.. Ya but he is going to be racing it in lemons so it will probably get wrecked And waste off money. Let him have his fun with it then can always 're build it in the future when he has more funds.
I think the views will start rolling in once the Previa starts to get a few more mods. Right now I think a lot of people are turned off by it being a rusty old minivan but after it starts to look a little cooler it will all come together Caleb!
Gingium do what YOU want to do and what makes YOU happy and excited. Theres no point doing a build for someone else when it’s not what you wanted. Keep doing what you love and don’t listen too much to negative (or positive) feedback
Love the van it's one of the best builds, way more interesting then the any o'l normal sports car build, that's why I like this channel the weird crazy builds
Hey Gingium This is the first time in a build where I can't imagine what you are going for.... I would hope you show us a sketch of your thoughts and how you want the van to be. It doesn't need to be anything fancy only a simple sketch. Thanks a lot for the great content and the hard work.
Follow your instincts dude. One of the reasons I subscribed is because you try out your ideas whether you know how to do it or not and, on the odd occassion you haven't liked the result, you've come up with a fix that's worked perfectly. Don't get sucked in by the BS. Keep going strong and believe in yourself.
I don't even mind what videos you upload, ill still watch them regardless, you one of the very few non-overrated youtubers that actually put effort into your videos. Always enjoy videos from you, and i hope you dont change anything you do
Keep up the good work man! Don’t listen to the haters. I will say I’m not 100% on board with going overboard with the zombie/apocalyptic theme, but it’s your build man! Do what you like!
I appreciate your honesty... even when things dont go as planned you dont have a problem admitting it. Im referring to when you mentioned this project isnt very popular. But in my opinion i think its a cool build maybe if prefer if you put more time into it instead of it being a quick build but i still enjoy this!
Throttle Grotto he admitted in the video he’s not getting the views he wants/needs. He’s getting at least 15-20k less views on these than other videos.
I love this minivan and its my new favorite build. I've never thought of myself as an offroad guy but the rally miata and the previa have been my favorite builds I have seen period.
Throwback 40 years for me! I had a 71 chevy van that was done up in the 70's van craze. Like you, the sliding door did not clear the tires and fender flares, so there were extended links for the slider. That slider would come off the track often and was not fun. Hang in there with the build. Gambler 500 will prove you right. #ABG Always be gamblin'
It might be not getting views because "apocalypse" sounds childish. I think it would be cool to make it armored so it could basically go through a wall like a tank. Also can you remove part of the rear badge so it says rev.
The thing that gets me excited about the video is the fact it's built for the gambler 500, i'm Looking forward to that aspect. The whole appcolype theme... not so much, I think the more the build comes along the more views you'll gather.. mayby 'hire' somebody else so the builds go a little bit faster & smoother. It's a little boring watching three videos related to suspension.
Right before you'd asked about how viewers felt about this build, I'd thought to myself, it's hard to get into this one because you're not putting much care into it... NEVER thought I'd dig the bus build, but that one quickly became one of my favorite youtube builds because of the amount of thought, and care you put into it... it was art. Even if this is an apocalypse theme, a hack-job is hard to get into. I think your viewers care about what you really care for.
I built a lifted Miata for our Gambler and got a lot of static and criticism/jokes, etc. during the build process... the major turning points in the process regarding the critics were A: the day I mounted my Super Swampers on the car, and B: the day I called it "done enough" and loaded it on the trailer. Now everyone loves the car, I've had offers to buy it, it gets waves, questions, horn honks and thumbs up everywhere it goes. I have a feeling your process will be similar... once people can start to see your vision as you have it in your head, they'll come around. Of course there will always be a percentage that hate you 'cause they ain't you, but it's the internet, its part of life; like mosquitos- a little annoying but they really don't matter in the long run. Carry on man, I'm looking forward to the end result. #ABG. (P.S. I second the commenter who suggested a net door, only I'd try to find some heavier cargo net; or... gullwing door!)
Screw what people think man. If you're doing things JUST for your viewers, then that defeats the point man. Do what YOU want, and the people will watch, because you'll be having fun and that's fun to watch!
holy shit back in highschool we used to joke that our friend who was the first to get his license, and therefor drove us all around, should get a tricked out liftedminivan to fit more people, and this looks just as ridiculous as we all imagined. awesome work dude
TBH, I'm watching this because I like your other content and want to see you succeed. I'd rather see more of the FC and the Rally Miata. Edited to add: Sorry to hear you might be selling the FC. That's my favorite car of yours by far.
Personally I haven’t followed the build bc I really don’t like half-assed builds. I think it’s kinda stupid that money is going into something that’s going to be driven once, break, and then scrapped. Doesn’t help that the “apocalypse theme” is basically code for a slapdash pile. Part of the beauty of building a car is the meticulous attention to detail you put into restoring and modding it. I’d be interested in a build of a car that is properly rebuilt, and than driven so we can see how it holds up long term. Or if it’s a money issue, make the series about how much you could profit from the labour and parts you put into it. For all I care make a civic time attack car, just do it right.
TimboStrong no need for that kinda stuff man, people just have different opinions, I don't think that Caleb wants to read through his comments and find this kind of stuff
well, he has a point, Caleb got this car specifically to be as unique as he can be, and a lot of people would rather go the traditional way of cleaning and modding a car to look clean. This is quite a refresher. But then the OP also has a point. While I personally believe this minivan would be sick, just going at it super carelessly and slapping shit on like you don't give a fuck is quite disappointing. Especially with such a hard car to find in the states.
- KoreanJoker - he hasn’t even really started the build, when have you ever seen him just slap bits on carelessly? Be patient and let him do what he enjoys! No point him doing a build he’s not really interested in just to satisfy what someone else wants. The build would feel heartless
He said himself this is just a build he can profit off of for YT money so he can build the rally Miata (which I like). The original reason I posted the comment was bc he legit asked in the video why he wasn’t getting views on the series, and as someone who doesn’t watch the series I’m just telling him why.
car if you watched the adventure bus build vids, then you'd see that when they were carrying a dresser, the drawers slid out onto the left pop up headlight, that's what I assume you're talking about.
I love the van dude. Keep the rust, all of the chop on everything. If it gets the jobs done and it's not costing you anything, all of the props to you bro
Just keep doing what you're doing man. I think it's cool and unique which is what your entire channel is about. But bottom line it's your channel, and it's your build. Do what YOU want to do. And your fans will follow what you enjoy doing
maybe if u built like a 90s expedition or a suburban or eep wagoneer or somethin, itd be more popular. most ppl, from my opinion, ust dont like the actual van itself. still good luck gingium!!!!!!!! i always watch ur vids even if i dont like the car!
I think it's awesome turning this odd ball van into a crazy offroader. People are just so use to seeing the regular on TH-cam that they get scared when seeing something uncommon to them. Keep it up gingium!
I love everything about it. But I love almost anything apocalypse themed. The amount of rust is a bit much for me but I think it will be interesting to see if it actually holds up. I guess most people don't know the potential that previas have. There's a few guys that successfully drift previas and have some pretty cool builds. I'm stoked on yours, It's one of my favorite current builds to watch. Some suggestions; A) turn your rear lower shock mounts 90 degrees so that bolt doesn't bind and snap (or realistically the super rusty mount will break off). B)The rod on your sliding door can be cut and welded longer to clear the bigger tire. 80's van guys do it all the time to clear their crazy fiberglass flares. Keep up the good work man!
The van looks absolutely awesome, its fricken mental!!! We will always support you, and we all love you and your content that brings a smile to our faces every single time. Keep at the amazing work Caleb.
I like the Mad Max feel you're going for, it was just like the hate MCM got for the Mad Max s15 but it turned out amazing. So just keep doing you and don't let the haters of the van get you done and make it how you want, your van = you do what you want us to see.
I don’t know why nobody else likes it, but i think the apocalypse style is really cool! Also you should call it the rusty egg. rusty because well, its rusty. And egg because daddy Doug says the previa looks like an egg
Gingium, my dude. Don't worry about what other people think about YOUR project. Dude, I love the build! #apocalypse #madmax I fully support this 1000%!
I love the lifted minivan thing especially the fact its a bit of a dog but the whole zombie apocalypse thing is kinda cringe. But bash bar winch, roof rack and stuff sounds awesome!
I hope you do what makes you happy im sure there are people who support you no matter what! I personally love watching these videos. Hope my opinion helps!
the kids on youtube dont like it because they think money grow on trees and every project have to be 100% clean like molly, but on my book every car that is "zero fucks given" is fun... just because
Gingium my man. I FOCKING LOVE this build. Keep makin it how you originally intended it to be. This thing will be awesome. Keep it up man. Go full mad max on this beast!
If that was me I would either just remove the passenger seat for entrance to the rear or just stick a big hinge on the sliding door so that it's like a normal door. BTW love the build when it's done you should take the rally miata and apocalypse previa mudding.
I came for the game videos. I stayed for the car content. Keep doing your thing Caleb. I’ll keep watching. I hope you do more with the bus such as a battery bank,solar panels and a decent inverter.
My favorite part of this series has literally become watching all the rust getting knocked off of it lmao Seeing those tires on it though really brought the picture together for me. Looks great, and I can't wait to see the personal flare you put into this!
Offroad conversion vans solved the sliding door with a slightly longer linkage. You might have to change the track or the bracket that slides in it, but you can make the door swing out more as it slides. I originally found your channel because of the Rally Miata. I love that project and I love this one too, I always wanted to do something fun with a Previa. I'm not so interested in the "normal" car stuff (not saying I dislike them, just not as into it). The Previa project is when I started watching your videos on a regular basis. So not everyone dislikes it. Anyways, I say do what you like to do and forget about whether its going to get views or not. Worst thing you can do is start changing the channel in an attempt to attract more people.
If you're worried about not making a whole lot of money from this build. I think the first video with the awd swap Miata will bring in a bunch more views to make up for the views you didn't get with the minivan. People like me are extremely excited to see the awd Miata. I love your videos I've been watching for about 2 years now.
I'm a big fan of this build, I also dont know why people are not into it. Normal car builds are getting done everywhere. This is different and fun. There is also something fun about messing with a car thats rusted out so you dont have to care about keeping it pretty.
I’m going to continue watching your videos until you stop making them.
Honestly, I’ve been watching your videos for over almost 2 years and this hasn’t been my favorite build. But at first I didn’t like the rally Miata then it became on of my favorites.
Keep building man. Looking forward to see what’s next!!
Egoboost I mean people do not appreciate new stuff. People just wanna watch the same old things like a 240z or a rice Miata or whatnot.

Artiem P.Gxnxsxs I’m pretty sure his sister did the scratching she hasn’t been on the channel much lately
Matthew Collins maybe, I’m not really that pissed like I said, but I’m just pointing it out. But I do love the build a lot, it is very unique and that is what I love about gingium.
th-cam.com/video/Uc0uY3Mtws8/w-d-xo.html
09:42 you’re welcome lol
When I saw that I couldn't finish the video. The scraping made my skin crawl even if it's on a previa
It is his car he can do whatever he want to the previa
I love the van and all content related to it. Keep at it!
i agree
Keep at it man
I also agree! keep up the good hard work
I think more people will view these minivan videos when the van looks more complete.
CCJ VIDEOS couldn’t agree more. He’s gotta just keep doing him
Possible they then would go back and watch the old ones
CCJ VIDEOS yeah same
I enjoy watching the whole build from start to finish. It just sucks when people don't have a good upload schedule
No More Gravity yeah
with the rust im seeing, i feel a rollcage is needed, not for rollingover but to keep the body together.
if there is even enough metal to weld to lmao
Hesayad ya for real
An exo skeleton would be pretty bada*s
If A Hard Impact Were To Happen, Via Hard Enough Jump Offroading The Roll Cage Isn’t Going Anywhere But It Will Just Rip The Rust Apart And Destroy The Frame
Change the door to a Jeep net door
TheDeDecker naah
Nets not very useful with zombies!
JustStuff. He was talking about changing the theme. But it was just a though, there aren’t many options
Good idea actully
It really good
I don’t understand that people wouldn’t like this. This is way more cool than a Miata, it’s so unique and miatas are so common and overplayed. I think this and your adventure bus are my favorite builds.
ford expedition I agree
I started watching the channel when i saw the adventure bus videos and now i'm subscribed because of these kinds of builds.
If I were you, I wouldn’t worry too much about the views right now. I’ve never been a TH-camr, so I guess I don’t really understand how it works, but I would think that the time of year has to be somewhat responsible for the drop in views. A lot of your fan base are teenagers to college age people, and right now is honestly a very rough stretch of school. Wait until mid-June and I’m sure your views will start climbing back up. You are a fantastic content creator and I always love your videos. Keep up the good work
This looks awesome!! But the amount of rust on this boy is insane😂👌🏻🔥
Exhausted weight reduction bruh
Carlos Rivera gains 😂
Exhausted hello brotha
T. St Hello pal!
Exhausted he needs to get all the rust off with the hammer of justice
Rename it tetanus van
I love it being lifted but I don't care for the apocalypse theme. I would like to see a clean build. Your really good at clean builds. But I watch every video to support you.
Atomic Garage.. Ya but he is going to be racing it in lemons so it will probably get wrecked And waste off money. Let him have his fun with it then can always 're build it in the future when he has more funds.
J R yeah I guess I like clean builds gingium over crappy looks gingium
I think he should lean more towards the term "mad max" lol
Atomic Garage no point making this one a clean build if it's so rusty...
Clean? Have you seen how rusted it is lol
I fucking love it man it's Rusty it's death it's dangerous it's awesome
I think the views will start rolling in once the Previa starts to get a few more mods. Right now I think a lot of people are turned off by it being a rusty old minivan but after it starts to look a little cooler it will all come together Caleb!
Gingium do what YOU want to do and what makes YOU happy and excited.
Theres no point doing a build for someone else when it’s not what you wanted.
Keep doing what you love and don’t listen too much to negative (or positive) feedback
Gullwing side door? 🤔🤔
Divergence Crew of course
Yyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
lmao
Or like the Tesla X doors that fold in the middle, that would be nice and more practical to open, but sadly that would beimpossible to build
Love the van it's one of the best builds, way more interesting then the any o'l normal sports car build, that's why I like this channel the weird crazy builds
My question is how to hell did you find a lift kit for a Previa?
I am baffled😂😂🤣🤣🤣
K.C.'s RC But WHO the hell thought people would buy Previa lift kits?
K.C.'s RC If you want you can lift anything in Murica
If i search for a lift kit for my dream car i cant find anything
Karolis rum my friend has been trying to lift his 2006 Nissan Sentra and can’t find anything
I love the content with the van in it please dont stop doing it
im not sure why the series is doing so badly... i love it :) keep it up soccermomium
I am 57 years old mechanic But I think You amazing Young teacher and motivator God bless You! That Previa looks great
That is one crusty boi
Divergence Crew hehe xd
Not that bad I'd like to see one from michigan
Yea, Ging looks crusty AF
I think it would look mad if it was clean built like the rest
The crustiest mustiest boi
Make the sliding doors lambo doors, so they can open and make your van a plane too!
Hey Gingium
This is the first time in a build where I can't imagine what you are going for....
I would hope you show us a sketch of your thoughts and how you want the van to be. It doesn't need to be anything fancy only a simple sketch.
Thanks a lot for the great content and the hard work.
Follow your instincts dude. One of the reasons I subscribed is because you try out your ideas whether you know how to do it or not and, on the odd occassion you haven't liked the result, you've come up with a fix that's worked perfectly.
Don't get sucked in by the BS. Keep going strong and believe in yourself.
The rust gets me everytime
how rusty came out of the van today
half of a bucket
420sx tetanus for life
420sx time to measure the rust on a scale
I don't even mind what videos you upload, ill still watch them regardless, you one of the very few non-overrated youtubers that actually put effort into your videos. Always enjoy videos from you, and i hope you dont change anything you do
Caleb, please get some gloves before you get tetanus or something, Homedepot gloves are like $10 and work like a charm
Harrison Remedios you mean Bitch Mittens?
LittleHearseman _ call’em what you want but gloves have saved me from multiple guaranteed hospital visits lol
Been wrenchin for almost 20 years. Never worn gloves. Gotta keep them vaccines up tho
Boyd Forbes how are them hands looking
Harrison Remedios you have tetanus shots and like the cut free cloves
Keep up the good work man! Don’t listen to the haters. I will say I’m not 100% on board with going overboard with the zombie/apocalyptic theme, but it’s your build man! Do what you like!
I appreciate your honesty... even when things dont go as planned you dont have a problem admitting it. Im referring to when you mentioned this project isnt very popular. But in my opinion i think its a cool build maybe if prefer if you put more time into it instead of it being a quick build but i still enjoy this!
Maarten Van brakel do not stretch this out anyhow
not popular? Are you watching that view counter?
Throttle Grotto he admitted in the video he’s not getting the views he wants/needs. He’s getting at least 15-20k less views on these than other videos.
I guess that's pretty significant. 15-20k is llifetime views for me, so I guess it's all perspective. Plus, he probably relies on the adsense $.
Ya but the hole off youtube views are down for everyone.. it's youtube itself that is the problem not the build
I love this minivan and its my new favorite build. I've never thought of myself as an offroad guy but the rally miata and the previa have been my favorite builds I have seen period.
Who else is waiting for the off road tieres for the bus?
Throwback 40 years for me! I had a 71 chevy van that was done up in the 70's van craze.

XxAdyxX98 yes?
Hows the 350 coming along! Looks really nice btw
CRAP FORGOT YOU SOLD IT...
you will be missed #GreatlyLovedGreatlyMissed
Saj Plays12 had to sell it... new project car soon. Not too soon though
Just Pasha we are all excited, hope everything is fine!
Honestly, people who can't see how awsome this is are just blind. KEEP IT UP GINGIUM!!
You should do a clean build
Just wash the car BOOM clean build
I built a lifted Miata for our Gambler and got a lot of static and criticism/jokes, etc. during the build process... the major turning points in the process regarding the critics were A: the day I mounted my Super Swampers on the car, and B: the day I called it "done enough" and loaded it on the trailer.

Screw what people think man. If you're doing things JUST for your viewers, then that defeats the point man. Do what YOU want, and the people will watch, because you'll be having fun and that's fun to watch!
KEEP THE RX-7!!!!!
Rex Nihof rx7 is clean af Def keep it 👍
Yeah
holy shit back in highschool we used to joke that our friend who was the first to get his license, and therefor drove us all around, should get a tricked out liftedminivan to fit more people, and this looks just as ridiculous as we all imagined. awesome work dude
when i first saw this car i wasnt very happy but now im so hyped for the battle van :D keep up the work man, best youtuber
If nobody else says this, your Previa build is FRICKING AWESOME. Keep up the good work!
TBH, I'm watching this because I like your other content and want to see you succeed. I'd rather see more of the FC and the Rally Miata. Edited to add: Sorry to hear you might be selling the FC. That's my favorite car of yours by far.

Did you notice your RX7 got some dents?
car if you watched the adventure bus build vids, then you'd see that when they were carrying a dresser, the drawers slid out onto the left pop up headlight, that's what I assume you're talking about.
No I think he's talking about the right rear quarter panel.
Make that door like trunk from hatch cars (open upwards), with some neumatic pistons. Greetings from Argentina!
for the door look for where the rails go and maybe make it like only where half of the door rolls back? so the bottom half gets welded in place.
The bottom underside of the door has rails too. He'd have the doors collapse in his hands if he did that.
I love the van dude. Keep the rust, all of the chop on everything. If it gets the jobs done and it's not costing you anything, all of the props to you bro
sick van, but i guess some people dont dig the shitbox/madmax theme
Look at the rust holy crap thats crazy
I like it but it has way too much rust To be honest.
Just keep doing what you're doing man. I think it's cool and unique which is what your entire channel is about. But bottom line it's your channel, and it's your build. Do what YOU want to do. And your fans will follow what you enjoy doing
i bet the first time he goes offroad the frame rails will just snap in half
weld plates to the frame idk, im dumb
Yeah, I'm not too thrilled with the apocalypse theme, but hey man, it's your car, not ours.
maybe if u built like a 90s expedition or a suburban or eep wagoneer or somethin, itd be more popular. most ppl, from my opinion, ust dont like the actual van itself. still good luck gingium!!!!!!!! i always watch ur vids even if i dont like the car!
I think it's awesome turning this odd ball van into a crazy offroader. People are just so use to seeing the regular on TH-cam that they get scared when seeing something uncommon to them. Keep it up gingium!
This is an awesome build! Keep it up!
I love everything about it. But I love almost anything apocalypse themed. The amount of rust is a bit much for me but I think it will be interesting to see if it actually holds up.
I guess most people don't know the potential that previas have. There's a few guys that successfully drift previas and have some pretty cool builds.
I'm stoked on yours, It's one of my favorite current builds to watch.
Some suggestions;
A) turn your rear lower shock mounts 90 degrees so that bolt doesn't bind and snap (or realistically the super rusty mount will break off).
B)The rod on your sliding door can be cut and welded longer to clear the bigger tire. 80's van guys do it all the time to clear their crazy fiberglass flares.
Keep up the good work man!
Previa is my favourite build so far!
The van looks absolutely awesome, its fricken mental!!! We will always support you, and we all love you and your content that brings a smile to our faces every single time. Keep at the amazing work Caleb.
I’m disappointed in the lack of Caillou jokes
Honestly I wasn't to excited for this build, but after seeing it lifted it just made me excited. This is gonna be epic! Keep it up man
I like the Mad Max feel you're going for, it was just like the hate MCM got for the Mad Max s15 but it turned out amazing. So just keep doing you and don't let the haters of the van get you done and make it how you want, your van = you do what you want us to see.
Okay now seeing the sliding door hit where it is... have you considered making it a gullwing door >.>?
I don’t know why nobody else likes it, but i think the apocalypse style is really cool! Also you should call it the rusty egg. rusty because well, its rusty. And egg because daddy Doug says the previa looks like an egg
Do not sell rx7
I love the van build! No one on TH-cam lifts mini vans. It’s unique.
Seeing it on the ground looks amazing. Maybe make it a clean swagon type thing and keep it?
I seriously don't get how he dosent have more subs. Seriously good content. Good editing. Like how can you not enjoy him
just...just buy rust-eze
ARSYA justrandompeople dead
Gingium, my dude. Don't worry about what other people think about YOUR project. Dude, I love the build! #apocalypse #madmax I fully support this 1000%!
I love the lifted minivan thing especially the fact its a bit of a dog but the whole zombie apocalypse thing is kinda cringe. But bash bar winch, roof rack and stuff sounds awesome!
Blugsie I agree, he should just say like "mad max" or something, cause zombie is pretty cringey, and I think I can speak for most people on that
I love all of the builds you've done so far! They are entertaining regardless of the topic (battle van, bus RV, etc.)
Gingium only do what you want to do these people who don’t like it don’t see it’s full potential I’m hyped for sure
I hope you do what makes you happy im sure there are people who support you no matter what! I personally love watching these videos. Hope my opinion helps!
the kids on youtube dont like it because they think money grow on trees and every project have to be 100% clean like molly, but on my book every car that is "zero fucks given" is fun... just because
Gingium my man. I FOCKING LOVE this build. Keep makin it how you originally intended it to be. This thing will be awesome. Keep it up man. Go full mad max on this beast!
If that was me I would either just remove the passenger seat for entrance to the rear or just stick a big hinge on the sliding door so that it's like a normal door. BTW love the build when it's done you should take the rally miata and apocalypse previa mudding.
I love this build. I think people are going to start liking it more as the project moves along so keep up the good work.
CHOP THE ROOF OFF PLEASE MAKE IT OPEN AIR
I came for the game videos. I stayed for the car content. Keep doing your thing Caleb. I’ll keep watching. I hope you do more with the bus such as a battery bank,solar panels and a decent inverter.
Please don't sell the FC RX7
My favorite part of this series has literally become watching all the rust getting knocked off of it lmao
Seeing those tires on it though really brought the picture together for me. Looks great, and I can't wait to see the personal flare you put into this!
BATTLE VANIUM 😂
Offroad conversion vans solved the sliding door with a slightly longer linkage. You might have to change the track or the bracket that slides in it, but you can make the door swing out more as it slides.
I originally found your channel because of the Rally Miata. I love that project and I love this one too, I always wanted to do something fun with a Previa. I'm not so interested in the "normal" car stuff (not saying I dislike them, just not as into it). The Previa project is when I started watching your videos on a regular basis. So not everyone dislikes it.
Anyways, I say do what you like to do and forget about whether its going to get views or not. Worst thing you can do is start changing the channel in an attempt to attract more people.
Hinge the doors at the top and make them gullwing like a Model X
I'm with you. I like the idea.
The van looks bad ass man!!! love the look, very original. Be proud of that.
Take off the door - put a cage... just a suggestion lol
If you're worried about not making a whole lot of money from this build. I think the first video with the awd swap Miata will bring in a bunch more views to make up for the views you didn't get with the minivan. People like me are extremely excited to see the awd Miata. I love your videos I've been watching for about 2 years now.
Sick rammer!
You are a mad scientist my friend. Love it and it inspired the big tire application on my Previa. Thank You!!
Liftium battle vanium
I'm a big fan of this build, I also dont know why people are not into it. Normal car builds are getting done everywhere. This is different and fun. There is also something fun about messing with a car thats rusted out so you dont have to care about keeping it pretty.
Lifted vanium
I love a decked out van! Don't give up on it! We want to see it finished!
Rip the sliding doors off and put some sheet metal over the doorway. Rear passengers can just hop in through the trunk
fuukginger57 It has got only 1 😂
people will start liking it when the lift is done and they see the big tires on it. Keep it up!
