it seems CA is the only place they sold well. here even the toyota is seldom seen.
i found a CA registration from 1989 inside the service manual so my assumption is this one is from CA. and i decoded the VIN, it's not a LS just a optioned up base model

it seems most of the parts interchange with some other mitsu, toyota or isuzu, i may have to source some things from canada(JDM delia)

didn't do much today other than inspect the plugs(very bad) and think about the plan, i'm thinking i want to stay with a 12v/8v because of the cruise control. but there is more then enough room for a turbo so i just need to run some tests and get it started to see if/how i want to rebuild it.
inside i'm going a side folding bed, 110v inverter, my boston g5, SE60's, kenwood KDC-X993 and an aux battery. plus whatever i feel like belongs, the plan is a camper style van that can double as a cargo van.


and since there's little info on the internet. it uses a group 51 battery. and this example came with 205/75r14 tires from the factory compared to tire racks claimed 205/70r14
