- Bought on the 20th July 2020 and finished on 17th July 2021. Lots of hard work but really enjoyed the whole project. A real sense of achievement at the end. So happy with it.
I hope you enjoy - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Good job! Really impressive. These light trucks or 'kei-tora (軽トラ)' as they are fondly called here in Japan, are a really good size for going places that you wouldn't want to go with a caravan. Almost every farmer owns one here as well as fishermen and other small businesses. They were designed to be able to handle the very narrow roads and sharp corners that separate the paddy fields and the tiny twisty roads in the coastal towns and villages. In recent years, there has been a small boom amongst young people who have been converting the pickup bed into campers and giving them a styish off-road look. They were almost only available in white, but now come in some really nice colours. The Bedford Rascal is really a Suzuki Carry (there is also a Super Carry with a slightly larger cab). If you Google 'Kei-tora customise' or copy and paste the Japanese equivalent of '軽トラ カスタマイズ', you should get some interesting photos. If you are worried about what the Japanese will bring up before Googling, use Google translate to confirm. I assure you that nothing untoward will appear - at least it shouldn't!!
Love this guy and the tiny mobile. He's like Fred Dibnah on speed. Enthusiasm contagious. Thanks dude and your family ( 4 million cups of tea later) Dave
Thank you for saving another classic from destruction. I hope you inspire others to bring life to gems like this. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video.
Perhaps people will understand why I never watch TV, when people like yourself offer better content ❤️😊☀️🌻

No wonder you are smiling all the time. Suzie is gorgeous, friendly, and happy.
Oh thanks, she is 😀
@@tkbikes1 I just subscribed your brilliant really enjoyable 👍👍
@@tkbikes1 you probably know this but make sure your wheel nuts are for alloy wheels and don't use the steel wheel ones. The wheels will fall off. Don't want you getting hurt 👍
Thanks for the ride & the tea! Seattle, Washington, USA.
Great job. Love your enthusiasm. Possibly one or two too many stripes 🤣
Ahh cheers yeah I did get a bit stripe happy!
What an achievement - you've done an amazing job. Suzie sounds very happy and chuffed :)
Ahh thank you and yes she is 😄
I love this video! It reminds me of my first ever vehicle 'Roger' who was a red Hijet Daihatsu van that I used to go wild camping in everywhere. I lost him in a tragic crash and he had to be wrote off with driver wing damage, but I bet you could of fixed him. His engine was still excellent, I was so sad to lose him and still have dreams about my travels of over 20 years ago. I love your restoration, wish it was mine! I hope you have many happy times in her, lovely van! ❤👍 You are a true inspiration! 😁
Thanks a lot. Love the Hijets. Great Vans.
Just finished watching your wonderful video….but, tea. Tea! It should have been a Champagne 🍾🥂 CHEERS! Well done! 🤩😍🔥👏❤️
Ha ha Suzi said that…. I would of but had to drive legally 😂😂
I wonder who gave us a thumbs down 👎🤦🏻♀️ 🤔🤔 🤣🤣
