wife and I just purchased a new to us '89 Mitsubishi Wagon.. LHD, 2WD, with the 4G64 2.4L petrol engine. a little over 220k on the body and around 5k on a new to it motor from japan around a decade ago (it sat on and off for a number of years from the PO) - it has some issues which I hope to work through (mostly low power, OD currently not working, and a bit of a rough idle) if you frequent other Delica forums you might have seen the van for sale in Richmond. hoping we didn't impulsively get in over our head, but the silver lining to our daily car getting totaled by idiots in a stolen SUV running a redlight and t-boning our wife is we ended up getting a 2nd vehicle along with what we replaced our previous SUV with (R.I.P. CRV).
the previous owner had put a lot of cash into getting the an running properly but with limited mechanical abilities himself - I'm a bit of a novice myself but good with my hands and a quick learner - been doing all of our other cars work myself for the past couple of years now as a "challenge" to myself (timing belt, alternators, AC fans, brakes/rotors, oil changes etc) - slowly buying tools now that we have a home we own and a secure place to keep them etc. I sent a couple private messages to members here hoping to extract and take on some more information and to maybe help with a few questions!
hopefully this week (if the biting cold wind and rain would let up! although if some of you knew the temp's I'm complaining about you'd shake your head at me) I can get out there and start on my list of things I want to update, change and replace as most of the repairs even though not driven much were done near a decade ago at this point and it did sit periodically longer than it should.
anyway hope to pick up some more info here and as we go along with repairs on ours can hopefully document and provide a bit of info that might help others like me who are ...learning as we go hah!
haven't got to take new pictures yet but here is one from the original seller:
Good Ship
