Old member new Delica 'Turtle'

Post by jessef »

Since owning my first JDM back in 05, I was always attracted by the Delica's.

In the past 4 years I've been trying to source a camperized Delica with a Reimo pop top.

Apparently there's only 500 made on this planet and a few of them are in Canada.

Finally I've found one and it's on a boat heading over.

Will receive the works. WVO tank, lockers, hubs, big brakes, rack, westy interior.

I have to say I feel like a little kid waiting for christmas. :-D

Only downside is that we'll have to sell Granola. :-(

I'm stoked. :M

92 Chamonix low roof converted by german company Reimo. They did 500 of these Delica's. Some fully camperized inside and some like this weekender edition.

The westy interior can fit but I will probably make the cabinets/bed myself to suit us.

Yeah, wow! Pretty nice alright. I'm sure you'll have a blast doing the mechanical and the interior refit. I'm looking forward to watching your posts - good going! :M :-D

Neat thing is that the height difference between a stock high roof and a low roof with the reimo pop top is negligible. Although with the lift/tires getting underheight in the ferry is not going to happen. :-D

Wow! That is a nice looking ride. Is that top specifically tailored for the Delica, or is it Westie re-badge? Green with envy. :mrgreen:

Looking forward to your future posts regarding the refit - expect they will be very informative.
