Description
The Honda Acty mini truck—an unmistakable icon of Japanese simplicity and utility—deserved more than just dusting off. At Oiwa Garage, restoring these kei-class gems has become a labor of love, transforming tired old trucks into refreshed, road-worthy companions without losing their character.
💡 Why the Acty Matters
Since its introduction in 1977, the Acty has served as a nimble delivery vehicle, agricultural aide, and DIY canvas. But after decades of service, many have lost their sparkle—or even their structure. Oiwa Garage embraces the challenge, recognizing the Acty as more than a vehicle
🔍 The Restoration Process
The journey starts with a detailed teardown: bodywork, engine, chassis, and interior. Hidden rust, suspension wear, and engine inefficiencies all get cataloged in a customized restoration playbook.
Once complete, the revitalized Acty roars to life—its engine humming quietly, the body crisp and vibrant, and handling that feels sharp and confident.
