Hiya

How is your renovation project going?

I have decided to have a go at one of these myself, but, here in the UK getting parts for an old 1977 Hiace is pretty damn difficult!

Whats it like "down-under" finding parts for the Hiace?

I was wondering if you have plenty of them, if it would be possible to ship a few spares here!

Welcome to the forum. I wonder if the hiace has lasted longer in countries where the climate is kinder than that in the UK? Africa ???
