Old member new Delica 'Turtle'

[jessef]

The VW westfalia top is not the same width/length/shape as the Delica roofline.

I have a complete westy top sitting here at the shop and did a dry test fit. It would need a major hack/glass job to fit.

The Reimo top looks to be tailored for the Delica low roof contour.

Reimo made these fiberglass tops specifically for Delica's.

I have no idea how many or if they still make them.

Just know that they converted 500 Delica's.

I'd like to get more info on them but they're so rare that it's hard to figure out when/why/where/cost/etc.... between Reimo and Mitsubishi.

It came.

After the inspection, I expect to make many changes.

Sorry for the bad pic. Cell phone + dark = not so good quality.

No-name yet on the left and Granola on the right.

Alright it's here!!! The Reimo top looks pretty darn tall next to granola, can't wait for the build pics but she'll be overheight on BC Ferries for sure. Minor though.

Nothing like that fresh off the dock Delica feeling?

[jessef]

FOTB ?

It's a few inches higher than a stock high roof Delica. Not by much which is nice.

It's a PW25 low roof Chamonix base with the Reimo top on it.

Love the work you did on Granola - so can only imagine how good "insert name here" is going to be.
Good luck Jesse!

Awesome ride. Can't wait to see Granola's new sibling in person.

Not gonna lie. Really, kinda, just little bit jealous. That thing is awesome. Congrats!

Niiiiice! like most of the others, can't wait to see what you do... going to swap parts over to the delicamp?

No.

Selling Granola all-in with everything we've done to it.

I tallied up all the hrs/$'s we put in. Was kind of a shock

Going to copy everything we did to Granola and do the same on the camper Delica.

Yeah, I bet it was! Funny how these things creep along but add up really fast! I bet you'll have fun outfitting that camper too Very cool set-up; I'm really surprised they aren't waaaay more popular. Looking forward to following your progress - hope you'll be as generous with the posts as you were when doing Granola. Gotta name beyond "The Camper" yet?

Yep. Lots of posts to come.

delicamp

No name yet, although Delicamp sounds about right

[jessef]

I wanted to stick with Granola camper.

Maryna didn't. A compromise was in order.

We semi-agreed on

Me: Turtle (tough as nails, dark chocolate top/caramel bottom)

Maryna: Tortoise (tough as nails, dark chocolate top/caramel bottom but elegant)

So, Turtle he is.

Can't wait to meet Mr. Turtle. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

So I'm thinking about the interior now. Have lots of time to mod things.

Thinking of putting in a shower/toilet stall shell that is the height of the interior Delica but when the pop top goes up, the a short curtain slides around (like a free standing shower stall) and you can shower/nature calls inside the Delica.

Opinions on this one ?

Maryna is loving the idea.

WOW! This interior looks amazing. I'm wondering if there is enough space to store all the stuff you need for a 1 month+ trip?
Do you have to have the shower IN the Delica? How about having a round shower curtain hanging from the open trunk door and use the shower head from inside. Use a rubber rug on the floor. As for toilet I would go with this portable small toilets, which works quite well. With this setup you could save a lot of space inside.
