Model: Toyota Hiace Year: 1983 Mileage: 114000 Tax: N/A MOT: 6mths Location: Cornwall Price: SOLD Additional Information: really don't want to sell her.. but needs must!! change of plans, means I can't keep using the van every day for work.. and there's no room home here for her, so I'm thinking the right thing to do is move her on!! I have done loads to this in the 3 years I have owned it.. turned it from a rotten old carpet fitters van in to the cracking Ride she is today.. the list of mods is massive.. so for anyone that doesn't no the van.. take 1/2 hour out, and have a good read.. retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=readersrides&action=display&thread=50319&page=1I have fitted one window in the side door, and have the other window ready to fit in the drivers side rear.. just not got round to fitting it.. this will come in the sale.. as will the spare set of wheels I have for it.(photo of them fitted to the van somewhere in the link to my build tread) if anyone has any question.. please feel free to ask.. p.s.. I would really like to see this going to a good home.. NOT for export!!

Any interior shots?I've read the thread but not sure what path you went down in the end regarding the interior as i think you were considering perhaps splitting it into storage/living space.
I'm after something that I can sleep in if needs be due to a possible new job bloody miles away!!!!

yeah.. I have.. I just upload them and update this post EDIT: I have now been out and taken some photos of the inside.. so heres how she stands at the mo.. and then the inside. as you can see, IMO its 90% finished.. all the door shuts needed to be painted.. the inside of the sliding door needed painting to.. pulls the hard board panel on it need trimming to.. I DO have both the paint and black trim to finish this.. just never got round to doing it.. same as the other side window.. got this ready to go in.. just never found to time to fit it!!! its done 118116 miles and i serviced it last year.. starts first time/ every time(after you have pulled the choke out! ) and as i have said i have used it every day for the 2 years i have had it on the road... i also fitted a second tempeture gauage only because the one in the dash has a mind of its own.. it works. but it will drop down to read nothing from time to time??!!(never had the time to find out what the fault was.. bad earth maybe?) the the second gauage works fine.. couple of little rust bubbles popping up here and there again.. but nothing to really shout about! can't really say much more than that... think if you were to read through my build tread.. most questions could be answered there?? but if not.. just ask going to leave it here for a bit longer.. then she goes on the bay
