Back in the 90′s it seems everyone was modifying their cars and I will
always remember the words of a blog that is no longer available for
linking to, but the words went something like this: “These people are
not just modifying their cars, this is a stand against society, they use
ordinary family cars that their mums use to do the shopping and make
thing into their own works of art! Their own little stand against the
World around them.” And it seems over in Japan a new stage in this art
form is starting to materialise…
The World’s Top 10 Most Amazing Modified Japanese Vans
..
10 – Batman
With over the top fiberglass wings and body kit this Batman inspired van
is a great example of things to come. None of these top 10 are
photoshopped, they are all real and all very fast, being often used for
street racing.
9 –Donald Duck
With a striking orange colour, detail cartoon scene and a large Donald
Duck on the rear end this is one stand out van! But it is the extreme
body modifications that make it cool.
8 – Bonby Nuts
With this one you start to get the whole idea behind them, these are not
just extremely modified vans, more expressions on their owners
personality, a drivable personality.
7 – Plain White
Even the plain white styled work vans are not safe from the
modifications, all of these remind me of a manga cartoon, or maybe the
Power Rangers over the top style.
6 – Orange GMC with wing doors
This one is believe it or not in California, USA! It goes to show that
these extreme van modifications have indeed been around in some shape of
form for a while now. With a microwave, refrigerator, TV, and bed, this
is one tripped out van.
5 – Star Wars
Seen at truck shows all over USA is this rather impressive Starwars
themed van, originally it was inspired by the Japanese modified vans,
but it is a true winner in it’s own right.
4 – The Black Pearl
Owned by Master of the Seas (Around Kent anyway) Capt nuttynik Lawson is
the simple amazing custom designed van, with Pirate themed style both
inside and out it is rather impressive indeed and often seen around the
custom car and van shows.
3 – Pokémon
Ever wondered how much Pikachus van insurance is? Well I have no idea,
but I would image it is a fair bit because this custom built van looks
like one very cool pimped out van!
2 – Disney
Very much the same style as the Pikachu one in number 3, as with most of
these vans they are all “Bosozoku” inspired custom vans that were
popular in the USA in the 70′s.
