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
It's a auto all the running gear is original engine rebuilt for unleaded and all new brakes.Full rego.
Before it was painted it was in a aussie movie called '' Drift '' small drive on role where it delivered surf boards full of drugs.

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.

All rubbers replaced(thanks Commer spares england)unable to source 1/4 window rubbers though.
Windows will be tinted but not too dark
Pictures were taken on our block and the kangaroo's seen to like the commer hope you guys like it as well?
I was on this forum some years back but was unable to find my detail i think because our email has changed?
So my daughter opened this one hope this doesn't bugger any thing up.
