New Member with Delica van project

Postby Matjl » Sat Apr 11, 2015 11:48 am

Hi guys,

My names Matt and I've recently bought a 96 Delica van.

The main plan is to fit it out as a camper for hunting and diving adventures which I'm currently working on. Next will be a lift and larger wheels.

Made the mistake of rushing in and buying some wheels off trademe which of course are too big. Then a roof basket that doesn't fit and then a ladder yesterday that don't fit neither. Oh well.

Looking forward to picking up some tips and info from the site.

Cheers

Some pics...

Here's the van's first outing

First mod was to rip out the seats and put a floor down. A lot more carpentry to come...

On picking up the new wheels... seems the missus may have been right. Gotta hate that.

Wont take much to shift those KL71's on, pretty popular tyre before going to the simex/ silverstone route.

Have had one at work with 33 x 10.5 tyres on it. It also had dual arb lockers. The owner had fitted a front diff from a pajero as are stronger. He had made a strong simple rear bumper for it as well
