Mitsubishi Delica Modifications List

Here’s a list of all the repairs I’ve made, upgrades, and accessories I’ve added to my Delica since I bought it.

I’ve also included the kilometers at which the work was done and the cost. Prices have been increased randomly and rounded in order to protect the sellers from price-matching, but it should give you an idea of the cost.

You can also click on the mods to get more details.

If you haven’t seen them already, check out my blog posts on my Delica:
