Jasmine Green 1991 Toyota HiLux

Jasmine “wasn’t a car person” until she bought her first one – a 1991 Toyota HiLux, dubbed “Khaos”. A barista with a passion for dirt biking, she was looking for a mini truck that could haul her bikes to the tracks, but couldn’t afford a suitable one. So, she decided that the most logical solution was to build one! A decision she made despite having no experience in building cars, nor any background in cars.

Working as a barista for the majority of the HiLux build time, Jas spent many long nights and weekends learning what she needed to know from YouTube, her fiancé Michael, and friends in the car community — setting out on a journey that would change her life trajectory forever. In 2020, eight years after deciding to undertake this huge side project, Jas found herself with a one-of-a-kind mini truck, a new passion and a new career as a motor trimmer. We think it's safe to say that Jas is now a fully fledged car enthusiast!
