commer 95% done

[Mark O'Dea]

Hi every one, Have almost finished my 1967 commer pa van. Just head lining and roof lights to go. It's not original so won't be everyones cup of tea but my family love it


The sliding windows where removed fixed glass installed. Perspex windows fitted to roof in insects six off.
Have not seen this done much! Allows more light in and looks cool.

The van was pretty rust free how did find rust in roof gutters and the bottom of the B pillar was replaced. All dents repaired mirror and all other holes filled.the paint colour chosen is Carribean Blue Pearl.(nissan cube 2010 colour) Roof Gloss White. All chrome and side window sections semi gloss black.

All bumpers removed.

Original rims widen 2"

Park and indictor lights changed to Lucas clear dome

Amber globes

Rear just carpet and peg board panels.

White vinyl seats .Dash ,steering wheel and column paint gloss white

Made up a metal esky to use as a battery box.

One of those Retro radios fitted has push buttons but with all the modern features.
