Hello I am brand new to JDM cars. Took a big gamble and bought a 1990 Liteace campmate (CM65). It needs some TLC. I join this forum hoping to find a mentor. Someone who has already restored a liteace of similar year. Someone who is willing to share what they have learned. If there are any really common problems with the 2C diesel or Liteace, share some details with me.
So far I have found a hole in front exhaust pipe and missing battery compartment cover. Those two team up to make the car dangerous to drive as fumes come right into the cab from battery compartment hole. New pipe is on the way. Other pressing issue I have is speedometer is not working.

I anyone has a compartment cover to sell or knows of a great used liteace parts source please let me know. I need to locate a Front Right turn signal lens as well.

Stay safe and healthy!

Best Regards,
Mark
