    After a few weeks the timing belt, water pump and all the front end gaskets will be done. It also sounds like it needs a clutch throw out bearing, hmm.. :pop:

    Yep, it's my snotboard taxi.

    1991 I think.
    Try Dias trim so it has curtains. (VIP!)
    Dual glass sunroof
    A/C
    Captain chairs
    And everything that a sambar truck has.

    So many things so I'll post more pics !


    I'm down!

    510 club meeting at TBC on the 11th. I'm pretty sure Jason will be there with the Domingo. Maybe we can crash the datsun meet with Keis :p

    I miss my 510 :(

    Some more pictures, I changed the lighting to a colder temperature to give it a nice white look.

    Warning: Large images. :D

    Sweet, looks just like my van :D. Those look like the original JDM head lights, are you required to change/modify them to be road legal or are they fine just the way they are ?

    Honestly I think they're the original, I don't understand how it's been inspected but it's been inspected. As long as I can insure it, I'm happy so far until I start the new job and getting work done properly to poor little Kei Van. ;)

    Cool !, as long as it passed the inspection, insuring it should be no problem. Good luck with the repairs.;) I get the work done properly by doing it myself, I don't trust anybody with my Sambar :p:rolleyes:

    Ah well, I just started work so time is sort and she's my daily driver. My trusted friend has the fastest FWD in B.C so I think I should be able to trust him with my 40hp Sambar. (Haha)

    I think it's final I want my T-belt, Water bump, Front main seals, and clutch to be done. I recently started to hear the throw out bearing in the clutch so might as well do that too.

    Body work wise, I just gotta save save save and find a parts van if that's cheaper than repairing and painting. :D :pop:

    If you have trusted friend and its a daily driver then that's different. My van is my 3rd vehicle and a toy, so if it takes me a little longer to make it perfect, so be it. That way I get to know it better, and feel good knowing that I didn't pay someone $500 to to replace a $2 part.;) BTW my has 54hp (Supercharged) :p

    Yah, get it all done at the same time if you can.


    I haven't seen any part vans for sale, but my guess is that repairing and painting will be cheaper.:pop:

    quick question.
    Isn't Domingo, E12, E10 and Columbuss the same car as sambar? except for the engine..

    Kitty Member

    Essentially, yes I believe. They even some what call it a Sambar when referring it as a Domingo. :confused:

    -----------
    Oooo snap!

    Poor little start pooped out on me. It's been giving signs but I never thought this soon it would start sticking. She's at the shop right now and trying to pick up a starter or just rebuilding mine.

    I'm a member of NASIOC, the Subaru club and they always meet on Friday nights at the Byrne Road Tim Hortons. Chill, take pictures and all cuz that parking lot is very well lit. It will be cool to show them what we got aside from their STIs.

  27. Janlone

    Janlone Member

    Yeah, it's a no go for me. I know some guys from NASIOC will show up there starting 10pm rain or shine every week though. Oh well, I guess I'll wait until we have a gang before heading there. Our vans are already small enough... :)

    So you're not free on any Fridays Kitty?
