;)
I'm sure it will be, that engine is about as unstressed as me:)

Testers comments

"i.m scared"

"How long does he think the luggage is going to stay on that roof rack"

"Really nice job"

We struggled to get it in over the pit as it got stuck in the rollers spinning the wheels, so the brake testing was done the old fashioned way with an accelerometer and road test.

"Knowing what Commers were like i was a bit worried about getting in that, but it drives really well, i,m impressed"

:D

Well it would have done if it was further than across the road :D

Couple of usual Commer advisories, slight play in kingpins/steering box and a tiny little hole i missed near the axle mounting [8]

I have to agree with you there Paul it is a true work of art and shows the skill and hard work he has put into my van.I know it seems a long time since the thread was first started but Tim has had to do 99% of the work single handed which as everyone knows can take 3-4 times longer . The next plan is to make a portfolio with all the stages of the build and parts made by hand to help people understand how good this guy really is at what he does .... So I'd like to say a BIG THANKS to Tim (commeracer) for everything you've done so far I'm well chuffed
