Level7 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 viewtopic.php?f=18&t=26147 Few pics of the random Toyota Hiace Camper I picked up a couple years ago. Wanted to rent one for a mission around the country over new years, were pretty expensive as to rent for the amount of time we wanted, so ended up just buying this. Its the First Camper vans Maui ever built! As purchased off an old couple from Palmy (well there daughter was selling it, didn't know anything about it), wheels were wrong offset and drove like a pig. Found out it had an awning with full sides, bonus! Wanted to get some standard wheels, found this on trademe, 1978 model cheap cheap and pretty rusty! Had a tidy chrome bumper, but unfortunately no rear one.. and finally some standard wheels and hubcaps, van drove million times better just changing the wheels! Suspension was crap, so brand new everything, starting to drive a bit more like it did in 1982 Ready and rolling for new years 08! Unfortunately some dip shit broke into it while it was being stored and smashed the whole interior to get the $120 head unit out.. sigh. They even managed to damage the steering column+ smash the whole column shift unit.. so that needed replacing also. So months of searching for parts, managed to get it all running again before xmas, so loaded the boards, bikes and went for another southisland mish for a few weeks. 18r's starting to hit full speed..
