Hi guys,

Has had quite a few mods, Hilman Hunter GT engine, Twin carbs, extractors, hummer Snipe diff centre etc etc.

Cheers

Hi Steve and welcome to the Madhouse
That is one clean looking van, gorgeous Nice sounding mods, what ratio is the Humber diff? did you have to swap the axle or did id go straight into the Commer housing.

Thanks, I bought the van with the existing mods. Not planning on doing much to it as I'm not sure I could improve on it. Airbags would be nice and some old school sign writing to promote my business.

Hi Steve,
I see that you are actually in Perth, a lot closer only half a thousand miles from me I assumed you were in NSW from the plates. You will get all the advice you need on mods/maint here. Dont think anyone has put airbags in yet though. Keep us posted

One of the NZ lads has lowered and put air bags on his Commer.

Are we/Steve talking suspension air bags or safety/crash airbags?

Or mother in law airbags? Ive had one of those in my Commer!

 

[slugger95]

Suspension airbags to slam it into the weeds so to speak..

, to be fair to slugger 95 it might of been an unusual name.
