Dawg Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Guess I better get a thread going on my Hiace. Not sure what I'm going to do with the engine yet. I like what other members have done with their Hiace's to get more power but then again prefer to keep things original. She's pretty grunty already. Maybe find another 18R I can modify, so I can use the van in the mean time. Anyone got a spare one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EURON8 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 i started a thread, prob chilling on page 2 now. Mods can delete it. with a little adjustment and the right tools u can actually get a few decent motors in there. v8s would be a challenge id say. We'll need a van meet/roadie in january if they are all goin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 Looking at a few more months work on mine, so prob March for a burn up to Auckland I can weld OK so some engine mounts for a different engine isn't out of the question. Anyone want to help me sand? After a few weeks I haven't got many fingers left. No takers eh... Oh well. Only ever seen one old school Hiace truck, had a little crane on it for lifting up engines etc onto its deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level7 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 You don't know any part cars around north island at the moment? 77-82? My passenger window wiper alloy housing thingy finally self destructed when I drove it out for a surf Saturday Looks like you are doing a mint job on the Hiace, body looks very rust free too!

Dawg Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 I have at least one rear light housing somewhere you're welcome to, not the coloured covers though, which is probably what you're after. Looks like these guys might have the front lenses: http://becarparts.co.nz/?action=show_pa ... code=CLAMP You might be interested in this guys Hiace: http://www.oldjapanesecar.proboards.com ... 114&page=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 good going man - keen to see some progress shots of the whole van.. What motor you planning on running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 I've taken all the front off again so that the doors are a bit easier to install, so will get some shots of the whole thing when the doors are finished. I like what Euron8 has done with his GEU, so might go down the same road. The old donk will do for now, seems to be running pretty good after a basic overhaul.
