At this point I would just like to say hi to all our new members and also to the longer standing ones that drift in and out occasionally hoping to glean some precious gem of information on our beloved vans. We do quite often discuss things Commer and regularly help fellow enthusiasts, but not on this thread [}]. If you where hoping for some serious mechanical help and advise, unlucky - maybe tomorrow
have you ever seen that company who is normally at the big classic car shows,they take the front end or rear end of any kind of classic car you desire ,so it would be for arguments sake, a mini front wings and slam panel, and where the engine would normally be they turn it into a settee, they look cool as f--k still have their lights and indicators in and bumper round the bottom. very expensive aswell though £1000.00 plus.
i have a mate who has got an old red telephone box in his bathroom as a shower cubeicle well smart ,he bought it when they first started to get rid of them £25.00 he paid for it back then, they are fetching nearly a grand now days.
ive also seen somewhere else in a mag this old fella turned one into a tropical gold fish tank,loads of rockery sceenery built up at the back of it ,with loads of those living plant creatures and tiny octopuss things in there.
remember seeing that and the shower cubicle. One thing I wish we could have gone for on ebay was a jukebox made from back end of a mini, had a visible mechanism though back window and records loaded through boot lid, was made so it looked like it was driving through wall - really well done[8D]
