I finally got the wife on board, she has hated all my vehicles for years and refuses to drive them. This time i want something we can both drive. we had driven one a few weeks back, low roof, we went down the wrong road for a test drive, very twisty and she got car sick. She gets car sick easily and thought it was the Deli. We went for another drive in a Super Exceed and things went good. It is green and has all the options. Very low km's, only 26 k. I wanted a metal roof due to concerns with the glass but she really likes the glass so I caved on that one. my wife and I are enjoying our last tent camping trip in Pemberton, we are here for the music festival. I have a sore back already and am day dreaming about my camperization. I am an RV technician and have lots of ideas for the van, plan to keep my captains chairs and have an extending bed from the rear, I hope to install a fridge and a small sink too. any ways, if you get waved at by a guy in a Honda civic or toyota 4 runner its me. I wil have my Deli soon, already trying to find a name, so far its "Binky" or "Walter" I have a sign making bussines on the side cutting vinyl graphics, she will have all new graphics too, will post pics when I have something to show. We have bought from J auto imports in Courtenay, both them and 5 star seem to be lowering prices a bit, now is a good time to buy!

Thanks for this site, has helped me tremendously. see you all soon!

its in the driveway now! YAY! rear seat has been yanked in prep for camper interior. rear hatch opens higher now thanks to mod found on this site. I plan to convert to Montero front brakes soon and perhaps relocate the coolers down in the front to a less vulnerable spot. Windows wil be tinted soon too. Crank the torrsion bars up a bit as it sits low in the front a bit. The camper interior will be fun to do as I am an RV tech, awning will be ordered this week.

So I am ready to find out about the seceret hand shake now!

Also plan to do some custom decals as I have my own vinyl cutting machine and have a side bussines doing decals and signs.
