Hi Guys,
Thought I would start a new thread under my new username. (Previously Bazil)
I have a 1972 Commer PB that over the last couple of years has sat on my drive doing nothing as other things have happened etc and interest was lost..... attempts to sell failed etc etc.
To get up to date:
I received a knock on the door over a week ago and I was asked if I wanted to sell the van, I said yes, agreed a price which I was happy with, agreed to sort out some works on the van to have it ready, works which I needed to carry out for selling ideally, and then I received no response whatsoever. After carrying out the few little jobs I have got a bit of mojo back and am going to go for the MOT in a couple of weeks time so we can use and enjoy the van.
Jobs carried out were, refitted all the loose electrics back into the dash.
Removing the crap Paris Beetles canvas roof and refitted the Autosleeper poptop.
Charged up, ran engine and freed off brakes
Cleared all the rubbish stored in the back of the van.
For those that remember or are not familiar with the van, here is the original thread http://oldforum.commervanfan.co.uk/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3555&whichpage=1
New tyres have been ordered so this weekend I will be cleaning off a couple of wheels, or all of them if I find some bricks to sit the van on!
I have some exhaust mounts to fit as some are a bit dodgy.
Wiring to tidy up.
Jobs for the near future:
Tidy and repaint sections of bodywork where rust is showing through
New cab carpet to cut and fit
Bench seat mounts to order and fit
Clean rear floor, patch and paint.
Fit new fuel pump and water pump
Order and build a custom mount for the Double Din cd player
If funds allow..... lowering kit!
