new but not really

Post by vernacular »

hello i was called pinkiep but created a new user because i couldn't be bothered asking a mod for a new name and only did a few posts before

rebuilt the van over a period of a year, between 10 and 30 hrs each week

for reference: LWB low roof 5-door L300 4x4 non turbo diesel

hah thanks all yes persevered with the rebuild because the body style is unusual. they are a trades vehicle setup I've only seen one other LWB for sale in NZ. heaps of room in the back, fits a queen mattress with still about 700mm space.

yeah i found it , pics in a thread from January http://www.delica.ca/forum/viewtopic.ph ... 09#p120109

i know it says one thread per vehicle sorry it's the name change

got bigger wheels since.

i documented the whole rebuild and I think by now I would have some useful info for people maybe on aspects of the undercarriage and problem solving.

It starts here with picking up the van and then driving it about a thousand kilometers home
