My new 1980 Hiace Camperized by Syro

[manuel_errazuriz]

Hi guys, how are you? I'm Manuel from Chile. Thanks for accepting me in this nice and interesting forum.

I've recently bought a 1980 Hiace that has been highly modified, but it still has some stock features. My first question is regarding the Syro Company, haven´t heard about them and I will love to know if they could have an history of this car and when they did this job.

It was imported to Chile in the earlys 90's but I do not know from which country (probably Japan?). I think it was originally right handed.

Some mayors modifications are the TD27 engine and the 4x4 convertion. I'm blind about anything else.

Should be a good proyect? Any comments or suggestions are wecome!

 

Best regards!

Manuel

Hi Manuel,

Welcome....sadly I think you might find that here in the UK we are pretty much as blind as you.!...never heard of "Syro" I'm afraid

Hope you enjoy your Hiace.

A bit of googling
