Les, i think you need to re-phrase that to modified. I am quite sure that Mark will be modifying some of the Commer,s original bodge,s.

yes i think the hornets nest is really gettin poked alot at this point, when people have a go at stuff and it dont really work then thats genuinely called a bodge ! but when someone has drawings with spec sheets/dimentions and such like, its not really a bodge is it ? this commer came as a pickup, then it had a rear caravan styled body built on to it, so what if im makin the rear longer, wider and using a far superior power plant, electrics, drive train along with power steering, aircon, cruise control, electric windows and central locking ...... is this really so wrong ? ? ? yes we all like to go camping but aint it great to stay in a 5 star hotel ! ! ! 4,5 ltr V8 engine, if you can do your sums or if not buy a calculator, work out LPG against petrol or diesel, the larger the engine the better mpg you get on gas, it far outways cost wise the other fuel types, but you go and try to buy a donor car with all these requirements ? or is it just the "PORSCHE" word that gets up peoples noses ? i came from a cosworth into a 911, ive never had such ignorant drivers on the roads, cut me up, block me in and generally harsh behavour towards me ! and i get all the chat saying its only a VW with 2 extra cylinders, aint people are ignorant .... dont they know that hitler commendered Mr Porsche to design and build the VW beetle (VW means peoples car) or is it just the fact i bought a commer van for £450 from the scrapyard yes the scrapyard and then bought a 928 at £3000 to use as the donor car ? ? ? hmmmmm the mind does wonder sometimes, but tell me is the commer engine/electrics/gearbox/axle/steering cutting edge ? or is 60's engineering far superior to nowadays ? remember this 928 is only 6 years younger than the commer, i guess i am a really a bad boy by running an engine on gas, or my work van on bio diesel ? (oh yeah rudolf diesel was a german who invented an internal combustion engine to run on pea nut oil before the purests hang me, by running on used cooking oil ! also what about if i converted the back of the commer into a hearse, would you not like your last drive in a beloved commer or would you state in your will "ITS NOT ORIGINAL" RIP
 
Well said!

1960`s engineering?? More like late 40`s early 50`s:D:D

I like to see things as they left the factory and in standard trim but that`s just me, originality is for other people to comment on at car shows! Its your vehicle and your free to do with it as you please, it would be a sad old world if we all liked and wanted the same things would`nt it!
As for the Porsche haters... how right you are! I have owned a Boxster and a 911 and peoples attitude to them sucks, I have also owned a couple of Rolls Royce Silver Shadow`s and you should have seen the stick they attracted from mindless morons.

Good luck with your project[8D]
 
well said Mr beachboy ! im glad its not just me ? its the same as my new van which is white, but my old van was blue, same make of van, never a problem in the blue van but now i got a white van "what the F**k wrong with people towards the white van ? its that bad im due to have it painted soon, im having it lambretta turquous blue, hopefully that will stop the ignorance ? i love concorse motors even down to having the correct spare and tyre, but i also love modded motors too and my fav are "sleepers" (wolf in sheeps clothing for the purests) i think i better keep my commers location secret just incase i get visited by the "hit" sqad lol
 
panky i hope its an original part and made in the year your commer was, because if its repo one thats been made in korea or sommet, you maybe branded as a bodger and condemed to eternal damnation in hell ! ps i hope you used the correct sealent of the day and none of that modern stuff !

You will have the Commer Police round in the morning and likely as not you will be shot there and then and you`ll get no sympathy from anyone on here:D:D
 
Luckily the lekky fan and SU conversion bolted onto the Rapier engine deflect the gaze away from the pump:)
