2000 Toyota Sienna

Parked seven years — and there was still a MacBook and an iPad inside.

The story so far

This $100 Sienna spent about seven years sitting on a farm, surrounded by chickens and loose animals. When I got it home and opened it up, it looked as though someone might have been living inside. The real surprise was what had been left behind: MacBooks, iPads and a whole box of phones buried in the clutter. Where any of it came from is still unclear. The 1MZ-FE V6 and automatic have ≈230,000 km on them, and everything a seven-year sit does to a van is still ahead. The complete story of the $100 van goes up on the channel once the edit is finished.

What comes next

Build updates, the video episodes, and the parts and tools that go into this car will be posted here as the work happens. Nothing is padded out with guesswork in the meantime.
