Hi all! I'm glad to be able to say I am finally a Delica Owner! A beautiful '94 L400 Super Exceed. Thanks so much to Clarke and Julie! I'll update this post with some pics once it gets a bit warmer :-D Happy to meet everyone!

Yes, its gas and runs great! No name yet... gotta think of a good one.

A quick question... I see that the holes for the license plates are in the wrong spots. Do I drill a new hole in the plate or is there some other trick that I'm missing? I've rigged up a temporary solution for now.

Also, my insurance company wants me to do an out-of-province. Any spots where I can get it cheap an not get ripped off?? I had two cars done earlier this year when I moved to Alberta and I think I got screwed...

Nope, you figured it out: Japanese plates are a different size and shape, and the holes are in a different location. Grab your drill and put some more holes in that new plate of yours.

Welcome to the group.

I drilled a new hole. Lined it up so it was semi-close and it works just fine. Just one more thing that makes my van different.

I drilled two new holes, for aesthetics sake to keep things balanced. Quarter inch bit and yer good to go.

I finally came up with a name. The Beast. That's what it is... a beast!
