Hi All While this is strictly not van related, there is a chance one of these engines might end up in one. I got my first TS3 knocker running. 3 more to go ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz-Rc-5wCg4 The great Australian Outback

Hi, I have finally got something i have been chasing for ages. How could you not love that face !!! Needs a little work no doubt, but as i already have a total of 3 knocker engines, not including the one in the truck, i should be able to get at least one running. The joke is of course...

no, cant find any bus seats, i have 3 busses and all dont have the rear seating... The great Australian Outback

The com-ron !!! and the com-di !!! looks quite good actually, just needs a good black paint job wiht the Audi grill and.....lots of cooling for that big ....er ..... fill in on the dotted line. now its really time for bed... The great Australian Outback

bazateer, you must have been reading my mind about the grill, an Audi o !! The Audi or older subaru inverted V gril is what i though when i first noticed this, non OEM vent. But it will take away the smiley face and turn it into a grump like gordon (i think he is the grumpy one, my daughter...

Hi Commer-Pete, Yes the rear has had a bump.. as well as the front, but they are easy repairs. I am waiting to be in Melbourne long enough to have my camper painted like yours. Love your color scheme... The great Australian Outback

well i took some pictures of the bus from queensland this afternoon. had a chance to look around it. Not too bad, but i think its done its fair share of actual use. Love the air intake tunnel in the middle, ducts air straigh to the radiator. Queensland does get much hotter than melbourne...

now this is getting bad.. I had a look at my photos and found i have 3 bus's !!! The red one is also a bus, with curved rear windows, but its the later front with the dual front lights. The great Australian Outback

Hi All, I am in Sydney now, just got delivery of my 2nd commer bus. Its an early one with the single front blinkers. Its quite rust free for an original, last used in the 80's. I spoke to the lady who used to drive it to pick up school kids. The only thing missing is the seats, i must...

Hi Aussiecommer, What i missed one ? dam....must have been working again. No i did not get one for $950. Commer treck across to WA !! interesting thought, but perhaps only with it on a car trailer !! I want to cut the "face" out of this chassis, i will looking at it this morning to...

Hi, Unfortunately i am about 4 - 5 hours (by plane) from WA, i am in Melbourne, about 7kms from the GPO. Actually the rust is not too bad close up. The roof is great.. i wish he did not go nuts with the angle grinder. He just wanted the side pannels to fill in his windows !! and the doors...

Its quite funny, before i started to fill the back, front and sides of the house, i could drive around the house !!! Well see the big front fence in primer ? That was built to keep prying eyes out.. next a huge gate and its done. I am lucky to live in a dead end with about 5 houses in a row...

Well, i have to move the 4 off the front into the side to create "commer-valley". There is actually 4 in a row here. Just so i can free up the front for 11.1, the commer-vertible !! There is even petrol in the carby, but apparently it has not run for 15 year, so someone is telling fibs...

Hi All, As i have 11 commers, i am having some covers made for them in china, using the best quality material i can find directly from a factory. Its supposed to be the same green stuff used by the army. I have also added some plastic zips on each side of the rear to allow it to be opened...
