Hi Jeremy I hope you do get yours finished, as it looks like it's going to be a cracking interior and it could give me some inspiration for mine as the Dormobile commers with the side door are quite rare.

No the motor came with the van but had never been refitted or ran. The van was originally pale blue but the colour I've gone for in volvo rebel blue and I'm thinking about cream for the top half.

Yeah these old commers certainly keep you busy..!

I've never heard of Calgon been used as a engine flush but I'm sure it wouldn't harm it. At the truck dealership where I work we often use washing powder to flush oil out of the cooling system out after oil cooler failures as its excellent at breaking down the oil. After a couple of they are as...

Here's an update on my slow progress with the Dormobile project. Subframe and all the front suspension painted and refitted, brakes refitted with new wheel cylinders and brake pipes. New monroe d5464 adventure shockers fitted to the front. Engine refitted and eventually got it running after...

Stunning job mate..!

If it sells for that it's cheap as well

Hi guys while looking for bits the other day on ebay I noticed this, looks like a commer jack to me but I could be wrong?? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264651493468

If the commer has as much energy and go in it as the dog they'll be no stopping it :D

Yes it would be great if you could find out more about which one would fit as it sounds like a very good option to make them more usable

Great conversion. What do you need to do one?

Looks like you've had a epic adventure...! It fills us all with hope of what trips are possible with these old commers. Mine has a window sticker from a campsite on the Belgium border from many years ago so I'm hoping to take it there one day for a road trip.

Hi here's a few more photos of my slow progress. Engine bay now painted and the front half unsealed with Buzzweld War, now ready for the subframe and engine to be refitted before then sending the van away for prep and painting.

Looks cool mate..! Its good to see what setup you can have with a side door. I've been trying to get ideas of what to do with mine..!

Cheers mate..! Looks cool mate and a lot of room inside. Looks spot on mate and a lot of room inside

Cheers mate it's much appreciated. I've looked on the Internet before but the ones I've found aren't that clear.

That's a good point mate.. At the most 3 people plus a dog. It has a middle front seat as well it also came with the 2 hammocks in the roof. I suppose I'd only need a double seat down the left side which could also be a bed and another seat at the front possibly. Yes more pictures would be good...

Cheers... looks cool mate, mines got a side door as well so that layout wouldn't work for me as I think I'd have to put the seating in rows to the left.

Looks spot on mate. Have you any pictures of the interior as mine came without any so its a blank canvas.
