New Delica owner from New Zealand
Posted: Thu May 14, 2009 1:17 am
hey guys and gals!
there isn't really a dedicated forum for Delicas on our side of the world so thought I'ld come invade yours!
My name's Phil and I'm from Hamilton in New Zealand. I'm a bit Mitsubishi fan and also own a multitude of other Mitsubishis including an original stock standard 1991 Galant VR-4 Evolution, a '93 Galant with V6 MIVEC power, and a 1980 Galant-Eterna coupe currently undergoing a 3L V6 MIVEC Twin turbo conversion.
I've picked up a 1991 Mitsubishi Delica 4WD van, pretty rough around the edges but it will do. Powered by a 2.5 diesel turbo 4D56, thankfully it looks to have been cared for enough by previous owner. Was used as a tradesman's van so is missing most the rear seats, many broken plastic trim bits inside etc. Exhaust is broken, has a bit of a scrape/dent on one side but for $750 it was a bargain.
unsure what my plans are for it yet, pretty much just need to get it a WOF and roll it as is for a while, then perhaps a lift kit, some wider alloys with mud grip tyres, a ladder on the tail gate, epic roof rack and roof box with floodlights, big spotties on the front etc
Let me know what you guys think.
