Hi what started as a search for an old 50's era bedford bus has lead me to buy this great little bus a Commer 2500, only plate to find so far is the assembly plate from chyrsler south australia.
The age look's to be 68-70's she needs work the motor has a very bad
knock (bottom end)brakes pump up after 5-8 go's clutch soft but work's
Thinking of fitting a holden(G.M.H)V6 .
She's got two singles up front which extend under the seat's to give length frige and stove on right sink and full cupboard on left .
last rego 1989.

What's happening I've just spoke to another guy and bought a van with holden inline 6cyl (202) tran's(unknown) holden diff(unknown) he said it went well but got put aside and not touched since.
She's covered in moss he has shelving for the rear I've only seen it from 50m away thought it would make for great spare parts,he mentioned that he got the shelves from another commer were we live will ask if he remembers where.
cost $50 plus trailer hire $65.
The truck wrecker next door who gave me his name said they
had just crushed a pickup, Bummer.
P.S. the missus does'nt know yet.
Better go find some mental HELP Someone HELP Please.
