Been pineing for vanlyfe again because such practicality for all aspects of everything so been keeping an eye out for something suitable when this POS popped up. Cheers to BLIZZO for giving it a quick once over and a seal of approval before I placed a couple of bids and won it. Took the train down from Hamilton on Saturday to Palmy and drove it back that evening. Its a 1989 Hi-Ace Custom so its got some good supercustom bits like a coil sprung rear end and a column shift G55 gearbox but a gross 3Y-U with a billion vacuum lines on the carb that other than using all of the fuels it runs lush as fuck for 318thou kms. Spent all last Sunday arvo in the rain at PAP pulling this pile of yuck off a 3Y-EU Townace, at some point I will try fit it to the Hi-Ace. Will it make an improvement to anything? Maybe a bit better economy power but who knows. Got it home and tried to fit the supercustom big brakes I had lying round but thats a fail so while it was on the axle stands I swapped on the wheels of the Hilux Its got a heap of bog hiding in it and its filthy as builder spec inside(nails and screws in the bottom roller door channel). Needs a good clean up and my panel beater Barry to give it a once over. Plans are to take seats out of the rear and build a plywood base for camping/utilitarian duties. Maybe flip the ball joints and adjust the rear springs to get it tucking then see if I get a green sticker
