I love these little Japanese 4×4 trucks that are so efficient. I absolutely loved watching this video! It has to be one of my top 10 videos of all time.
I'm a week away from becoming a Sambar owner. Your time-lapse has given me the ambition to restore it. Thanks for all the ideas! I can't wait to get started!
I lived in Okinawa for 3 years while in the Marines. I had a Daihatsu Atrai and really miss it. I love the tiny vehicles from Japan. You did an awesome job on this. Its beautiful.
Love it! Im building my minicab in a similar way right now. Interior is fully stripped, and im sanding everything down for paint and collecting parts and making the undercarriage perfect. reupholstery is getting done in the fall, so excited.
I was so moved to see a japanese popular pickup truck is going to reget a role in agriculture in very far away country,THE U.S.A.. The coin called "JUHEN" is a symbol of our being in the same world.This is so romantic! Imagine how spectacul the tiny truck and the coin's life are!
Man, this mini truck is simply perfect. There is nothing that was done differently than what I would do! Congratulations!!! And without a doubt one of the cars that I would love to have, but here in Brazil there is practically nothing like it. Great video!
1992 Acty, I doubt there are any such good condition units in Japan. The other day, my niece who lives in Salt Lake came to Japan for a funeral, so I took her for a ride on my light truck and she was delighted.It looked small, though.
It was a fun project but I have to say I had more fun driving it when it wasn’t so nice because I didn’t worry about scratching it or messing something up! I would suggest doing the maintenance stuff like steering bushings, shifter bushings, replace the seats and audio and then just enjoy the heck out of it!
Great build! Just bought a 97 Subaru classic but I let someone else do the work as I am not prolific in this world but this made it seem not as overwhelming to tackle.
someone sprayed my dash and plastics like that in my VW, i'm guessing years ago, as that pain is peeling off the plastics so it have patches of 2 shades of gray. i have to think that paint doesn't last or stay on the plastic forever. That fabric idea, is baller.
You have done well young man. Very impressive putting this all together. I have one in transit right now. should be here in a couple weeks. I know I'll be using as much as I can to help you also. God Bless. ALOHA. I live on the Garden Isle! aka: Kauai Hi. Our county color is Purple, and I've been thinking Plymouth " PLUM CRAZY " of the 70's.

If you search Honda Acty fluid change there is already videos out there for this. The engine is located in the rear of the truck between the back tires. It can be accessed from the underneath and the top side of the bed for maintenance.
Amazing job! Hopefully one day I can have enough time and money to restore my 1996 Daihatsu atrai to that level. It’s a daily currently so is a bit worse for wear but I still love it

Damn you make it look easy! What paint did you use on the rear undercarriage/fuel tank?
Yuo can liftup the spring and use 13" inch mags and 165 tire or log tire.
you should have put a hayabusa engine
like they do in Japan
How much was it total?
@@Cnzcia yes
As a Japanese, I am glad to see such high grade restoration of the used car, and also decorating the car with a 10 JPY coin😊
Thank you for saying that!
@@BayCityRestorations fr that coin is such a nice touch
I’d have put the coin in a custom gear knob
日本で役目を終えた軽トラをこのように大切に乗ってもらえて感謝しています
It will have many good years! Thanks for watching.

9:55 That was the perfect fabric for the door cards. Fits right in with the era.
I thought it was the perfect match for a 90s truck!
素晴らしい所有者に出会えた車はとっても幸せです☺
Do you import kei trucks?
@NanNanDayo
I love these little Japanese 4×4 trucks that are so efficient. I absolutely loved watching this video! It has to be one of my top 10 videos of all time.
I really appreciate that! These trucks really are super capable!
I sell these trucks, i have 1 available right now let me know if you are interested in buying 😁
Yeah it's such a shame they can't be sold new in the US I'd much rather have one of these than the regular pickups on the road, much more practical
I wish I had the time, money, and space for a project like this. Until I get there, I’ll just dream and watch videos like this one
Nicer Than New!
The rejuvenation of your Honda Acty is elegantly simple and simply elegant!
Thank you!!
One of the best videos out there. best definition of show don't tell. no talking just good music and talent
Appreciate you watching!
Can tell the effort and love given to the truck in the finished work. Great build
I appreciate it!! As always I underestimated the length of time it would take to totally repaint a vehicle even if it’s mini sized!
I have wanted an Acty ever since my wife and I went to Japan. This color suits it so well!
Amazing content, Great Kei Truck!
Thank you! They are a blast to drive around in the states
I'm a week away from becoming a Sambar owner. Your time-lapse has given me the ambition to restore it. Thanks for all the ideas! I can't wait to get started!
Awesome, have fun! Great little trucks to work on.
You and UA-cam read my mind. I was thinking a kei truck in midnight purple would look amazing and here it is. Great job! Now I need to build one.
Absolutely crushed it. The paint job is my favorite.
First comment!? You the best! 😁
I lived in Okinawa for 3 years while in the Marines. I had a Daihatsu Atrai and really miss it. I love the tiny vehicles from Japan. You did an awesome job on this. Its beautiful.
I appreciate it! I love these little trucks. They are useful in so many ways.
US needs not only smaller cars but also more compact and dense living (SFH is a drug) and streets-driving in JP style -- slow safe and respectful :))
I turned out SO COOL... the painted steelies looks 100x better than those weird after market ones it had at the beginning.
What a beautiful job!! Interior is great, nice job on all the small touches.
Appreciate you watching!!
Love it! Im building my minicab in a similar way right now. Interior is fully stripped, and im sanding everything down for paint and collecting parts and making the undercarriage perfect. reupholstery is getting done in the fall, so excited.
What is not to love with these little trucks! Really enjoyable to work on. Good luck with the rest of your project!
I saw this truck at harbor freight with your bike on the back! Took many pictures...now i see it on youtube! Awesome build man
Haha that is awesome! I am at harbor freight often 😂
Turning a $5,000 truck into a $15,000 truck I love it
This is the cleanest Kei I've ever seen. Looks awesome!
I appreciate it!
Chef's kiss right here. Tasteful choices all around, this thing is beautiful. Well done!
Thank you very much!
wow that is literally the cleanest kei truck ive ever seen. great job on everything!
Thanks so much! 🙌🏻💜

Work of art. Truck has such a great history. Great to see one brought back to life.
Was a lot of fun to work on. I will definitely get more of these trucks in the future!
The colour of the truck is really nice. Goes well with the rims and their colour. Sweet!
Thank you!!
Bro! Thank you for this beautiful restoration without words
Appreciate you watching! 🙏🏻
Man, this mini truck is simply perfect. There is nothing that was done differently than what I would do! Congratulations!!! And without a doubt one of the cars that I would love to have, but here in Brazil there is practically nothing like it. Great video!
Appreciate you watching all the way from Brazil! 🇧🇷
What a great restoration. That was a good watch 🙌🏼
Thanks for watching! 🤘🏻
damn... the combination of the paints and old part are so insaneeee
Starting off by cleaning the engine, that's a big win in my book. Great job on the Acty!
Thank you! Starting with a clean slate is the way to go.
You really did it justice! Impressive restraint with the sound deadener, I went all out and overboard on my Honda build lol 🤣
Can’t hurt anything! I’m sure you have a nice and quiet cabin 😁
Such a beautiful and satisfying rebuild. Wish it was a left hand drive
A kei truck filled with the Yamato spirit! 🇯🇵
Great job. Love the Mini Trucks, should be legal to drive on most surface streets in all states.
I agree, very useful vehicles
I love the look of the mini truck. The colour makes it really pop. Great work!
I appreciate it!
1992 Acty, I doubt there are any such good condition units in Japan.

Love the recaro confetti fabric on the door cards. I was just thinking about how those would look, as well as matching seat covers!
Would have been awesome to have some confetti seats too!
couldnt be more satisfied with this transformation
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it
What a beautiful transformation….well done sir!
Thank you! Cheers!
That shit is so clean, literally and figuratively. She's beautiful!
I appreciate it!
I loved watching this rebuild, it's so satisfying! Thanks for sharing.
oooooOooOoOh baby that paint color is gorgeous 😍
Thank you! 💜
Literally the coolest build I've seen in a while! I NEED one of these!! haha
You can’t drive one without a big smile on your face! 😎
OMG so much love put into this little kei. Makes me think about whether I should have a go at rejuvenating my Hijet.
It was a fun project but I have to say I had more fun driving it when it wasn’t so nice because I didn’t worry about scratching it or messing something up!
I would suggest doing the maintenance stuff like steering bushings, shifter bushings, replace the seats and audio and then just enjoy the heck out of it!
@@BayCityRestorations I hear you. I actually do “truck stuff” with my Hijet from time to time and it’s nice to not worry about scratches and dings.
A perfect putting around town vehicle. I'd drive it to work every day.
The way the sun's reflection rolls along the tail sides is just perfection. 12:11
dream truck. very nice. i wonder how much fun it is to roll around with that
It such a fun truck to drive to events. Everyone loves it!
Great build! Just bought a 97 Subaru classic but I let someone else do the work as I am not prolific in this world but this made it seem not as overwhelming to tackle.
Appreciate it! I have to admit it does look easier when it’s all put together in a video like this but I did have a ton of hours in this truck.
That paint is outstanding
Thank you! 🙌🏻
This thing looks so sick. You did an amazing job
I appreciate it!
what did you use to line the fabric on the door cards? looks amazing and like a factory finish
It is screen spline like you would use for screened in patios. You can find it at hardware stores like Home Depot or Lowe’s
@ and what did you use to stick it on there, how does it hold up?
That build is so sick, thats what I'm hoping to do when I get mine!
Awesome man! I plan on getting another truck as well. They are too much fun.
Excellent! Amazing to see such a dirty car come back to life like a brilliantly different car! 🇯🇵
Great job! People don't really know what goes into a re build? It's hard work and time😢
Tell me about it!
the arcade carpet pattern on the inner door is such a nice touch
Perfect fit for a 90’s truck 😏
What an absolute gem.
🙏🏻
That looks awesome!!! really love the colour....and always enjoy watching your build!! 😍😍
Appreciate the kind words as always Bruce!

Incredible redo bro! Looks amazing!!!

Plastics have to be painted in a certain way for longevity. If you don’t use an adhesion promoter the paint it will definitely peel over time.
Phenomenal job! The coin was a nice touch too👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Man I want one of these so bad!
Great Job, you should have a Honda motorcycle riding in the back...

Crazy idea. Do you think it would be possible to fit a engine from a Chevy Figaro on the deck, but kinda submerged? Let me know . Thanks
A lot of people have done engine swaps in these trucks. I guess with the right amount of modifications anything is possible.
@@BayCityRestorations
I know, but would that sound too outlandish? Like too much power for such a small frame? Like would it be a death mobile?

You should have done the seats in the same color and pattern as the door cards. That would have been cool as hell

Cool little 4x4 restoration 👍

probably a dumb question but did you ever look into switching the steering wheel to the left side? I wonder if its worth the trouble
I have not done any research into that. Right hand drive doesn’t take long to get used to.
