The portafold roof needs a bit of work as well. Im avoiding doing that tho as its still original and in its original gel coat. I love portafolds there amazing! Spent so much time in it this summer. powered by rust and brimstone !

Back on the camper for a few days before the summer holidays end. Not spent much time on it recently :-( I'm restoring the roof, chasing the cracks in the fiberglass. Not much fun and my hands are suffering. It will all be worth it, and I'm putting right a bad repair to the corner. [/URL]...

I have had the gas axe tonight. I was robbing the tow bar/back step off the parts van. Not totally sure its a Commer fitment? Was it on the Auto Sleepers extras list? The rear bar seems to have been chromed at some point :-0 very posh powered by rust and brimstone !

So come on then, who is jealous? If you are running a commer you will know how irritating it is not having a interior light that comes on when you open the doors. So as I'm at the stage of wiring my camper van I decided to fit door switches. As the A pillar is a sealed box you need to...

nice work, now your spot on but keep quiet its meant to be a secret ;-) powered by rust and brimstone !

No, try again, maybe the code will help RD 17. powered by rust and brimstone !

not quite, you need to think a little harder! powered by rust and brimstone !

This is only the first fit of the wiring. All just put in place to get the lengths right and deciding where to put everything. I have to rip it all out again and then rap it all in loom rap, to make it all nice and pretty :-). Thank you for your kind words tho! I have also put my first order of...

The wiring continues, it is one massive headache even had to drew put a wiring diagram to help me through it. I have a relay bored that is for, over drive, dip beam, main beam and a cooling fan. Also a fuse board that is split into 3 feeds, one that is ignition positive, one battery positive...

mine are wood but I don't have the canvas anymore lol [:0] powered by rust and brimstone !

It didn't sit well thats why i was keen to pull it to bits. I'm putting all the springs and latches back to there original positions and seeing is that makes it better. powered by rust and brimstone !

Yeah thats what I was thinking but it would be hard to do with the roof up in place on my van. I suppose I will never know :-) lol powered by rust and brimstone !

Been busy stripping the frame down, Looks to have been messed around with a lot in it's life. The rear locking pins have been moved up and also the front springs have been moved up and messed with. Anyone think this could have been done in the factory? Seen the same on there van? powered by...

Anyone have any tips or advice on what to do with it all? any good ideas would be nicely received. Between the 2 vans, the 71 registered van has double the amount of rivets in the end panels top and bottom hinges. the 73 registered van with less rivets seems much more flimsy when you put it up...

Today the roof came off the van. I'm not all that happy with the way it fits and the fiberglass has had a knock or two in its past. I thought the best thing to do is take it all down off the van to fix and then re sit. powered by rust and brimstone !

I have a can of it and have been using it. I do have one complaint tho(this maybe down to a falt in what I'm doing rather than the product), but I find it hard to get stuff to stick to it after I have covered it with aqua steel. The worst was a boot lid I repaired on a Stag, on the bear mettle...

My vote is COMMER - Martins pic of the coach built done with all the neon lights down the side. COMMER - Gladys, Heidi & Bernie pic of there van refection in the tanker. DODGE - Has to be the pic you posted of the green van reg ROF 820Y. Looks to me like a HD photo. powered by rust and...

As fare as I know it's the standerd Commer bell housing. Mine is a Perkins 4 108 and has a overdrive. As fare as I can tell the van came out the factory with both. I say this because the overdrive switch is in exactly the right place and is wired in properly along with the overdrive. powered by...

yeah it needs a few less, I have to put in a nice thick wire for the heater plug, also need the right ignition barrel to power that. I have run wires in for the overdrive and also a clock up buy the window wiper motor. I'm also fitting a relay bored mainly for the overdrive but I will also wire...

Oh right :-/ I new mine was a bit industrial but it beats the original by the sounds of it. I quite like it now. Or tho I may look into fitting a later system like on the dodges. One good thing about mine now is it helps to keep the heater pipes up and out the way :-) powered by rust and...
