That’s a thought, although my wife probably won’t like the looks of it :? , she has been super supportive of me starting this project so I want to make it look as good as possible.

It's funny last year when we bought our new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid and I posted it on facebook everyone commented on it....but when I posted the Delica on facebook not much was said...well at least not on Facebook! :-) I could hear them saying "what he bought a minivan".

I call it a Delica Van much cooler! than minivan 8-), But I have learned that you must do what makes you happy in life and not worry about what others think, as hard as that is to do...

Oh my youngest stepdaughter doesnt mind being dropped off at school in the invisible bmw, but in the delica, she likes to be dropped off around the corner trollololololol.

I remind her when she has the big round thing in front of her, she is allowed to decide which way it goes :D

Ok so close to pulling the engine out, probably this weekend!. And definitely need new shocks and sway bar bushings and now a rear drive shaft as the previous owners let the u-joint get so bad that it was hitting on the drive shaft, anyone have one for sale???

And the engine is out! only forgot on wire and that was for the oil pressure sensor so I will have to fix that.... :? but other than that it went well but the engine hoist has to be really close to the engine as it just fits out the door.
