Delica in Coquitlam!

Post by Schwa »

Hi everyone,

Just got a white 1992 Delica Exceed from Silk Road in Surrey. My previous vehicle was a 1991 Mitsubishi Colt but it can't tow a boat (even though it does have a hitch), so the Delica seems like the best balance between functionality and fuel economy. Looking forward to some awesome camping adventures!

Howdy neighbour,

I'll keep my eye out for you, I'm driving a white '92 with dark tinted windows here in Poco. I got mine from Karim also.

It's a 17 foot fiberglass boat, I think it was made in 1981... Grandfather finally decided he's not gonna use it any more. Getting the hitch done on tuesday at the local Delica hitch experts: E & H in Burnaby.

It's a low roof, automatic; mostly for safety concerns when my parents use it, but also for the lower RPMs on the highway... Karim did well, no pressure whatsoever, but he's really disorganized, ended up putting in the E coded headlights and DRLs at the last minute.

monkeyman: I think my parents have seen yours, right after we got ours, they thought it might have been me since I work in PoCo but they didn't see the driver.

I've already smashed the passenger side step so bad that it was rubbing the tire, had to do an emergency removal to get 'er home, so if anyone has an extra step I'd be interested in buying. I like it without the steps, but I'm thinking the radiators should have a bit of protection from future smashing.

I've re-done the front seam seal and modded the turn signal to be a side marker light (after photo was taken) and I'm currently painting the bullbars black so they stand out a bit better and won't look as bad when it rusts.
