Hello from Vancouver Island, everyone!

I've been admiring the growing Delica community here on the island since we moved here 3 years ago, and had my eye on a particular V6 L400 LWB Delica that needed rescuing from CCA for some time... it required some work that they were unable to do (welding), or didn't have time to hire someone ... nevertheless, it sat on their lot for a year. It was overall quite beautiful, and since I do a lot of custom work (I build MR2's and forced induction for performance cars) I picked it up a few months ago. I actually bought 20 x 8.5 VW 750 Velocity's (+30 offset wrapped with 255 45 20 Duelers) for it before I got the van itself lol... priorities...

The main plan for it is to build a lifted cruiser/hauler that will handle well on the smooth, curvy and higher-speed island highways. It will not get much off-road abuse.

There are lots of plans for it in the works, including:
-3-4" of lift, longer shocks etc
-dual exhaust
-trailer hitch
-supercharging/tuning/intercooling
-music

Anyways, I will launch a build thread soon. Here is the starting point:

Neat! I like the LWBs, can't wait to see it getting the CyKlops treatment :-)
