Welp, good thing I didn't install this :) Unfortunately my Deli is dead, and I never got to install this oil-cooled turbo from Kinugawa (Here's a listing...

Well, our beloved Slowis Lane died last week. She's an '87 with a lot of life experience, shall we say. So, do we import a new Hyundai engine and bring her back, or part her out and move on? My hesitation is that if we keep her, I feel like she should get a full overhaul to complement a new...

EDIT: Figured it out. TL;DR: It was gas in the tank. Went to start her up this morning and she sputtered out. Then started again, albeit rougher than normal, and won't rev past about 1200 with more vibration than usual. First suspicions are fuel system problems, though my mind may be playing...

I'm getting antsy for projects, and figure I should replace the cracked, crusty old run channels in my sliders. Some are so bad I can barely open the windows. Has anybody done this job, and aside from the run channel rubber, should I consider or absolutely replace anything else while I'm in...

We just finished a two month road trip around the west. Our old girl - we found her name on the trip ... Slowis Lane - isn't nearly as fresh and most Delicas here (she's over 240,000km) but she was an absolute champ. We camperized her before we left, with a basic platform and side kitchen...

For a while I assumed it was just muck dripping out of the fuel filler area, but when it's been super dry I've noticed what looks like a dribble from the fuel door. Anyone else have this? Does it mean my fuel cap needs a new gasket? Something else? Example:

I was doing some routine checks and maintenance and found this wire that runs right underneath the air intake. (This view is straight down the panel behind the driver's seat.) It's unnervingly worn through from what looks like the intake hose and the edge of the body. I put a sleeve of...

Just replaced what sure looked like the original, or at least very, very old shocks on the van. All in all, pretty easy with a few caveats. I didn't go expensive because ANYTHING would be better than the dead old shocks. They compressed easily by hand and had no rebound to speak of. Before...

Under heavy load my radiator's leaking a little. With summer and a long road trip coming I'll be looking to repair or replace. First, anyone have success repairing the original radiator? Second, it's pretty hard to find an original spec radiator and I'm wary of buying a used one (what if it's...

Random question: I have an '87 Delica that was repainted at some point, and all the badges were removed. I came into some random old Mitsubishi badges from around that time, but don't know if the front diamond badge is the same size as the Delica's. The one I've got is 3 1/4 inches/8cm. I can't...

Anyone removed all the filter/blowers, A/C lines, etc to the rear HVAC system? Anything critical I need to know before doing so? We don't plan to use the rear air because we're camperizing the interior. I thought that I could remove all that stuff underneath and make a bracket to mount our...

Just saying hello to my fellow PNW Delica owners! I bought mine on eBay from a dealer in Minnesota who imported it. Only had mine a couple of months. She's an old gal who runs great but's been around the block (225k kilometers) so I'm doing lots of little things as we get acquainted. Fluids...
