Nice workhorse  I personally would keep the awesome 70's paint and maybe think about having a tongue-in-cheek sign writing done  and rotary power whilst looking like that will take plenty by surprise. its proper cool either way,  D |

Nice to have another van on here, welcome aboard. ;D
Are you planning transferring the windows over from your spare or are you leaving it as it is?

Now, I know as well as the next man just how abundant old tin is over in NZ, but to rat that would be sacrilege! I like the other ideas though, rotary power and signwriting would be ace. ;D

Comma vans are so cool! my parents had a camper one when i was younger and i thought it was the nuts where the front wheels were inside the bodywork like a spaceship!

Such a cool van, defo keep that original colour - needs a black stripe with some tasty 70's writing in the stripe ala Mustang Mach 1, and some Astro Supremes wrapped in thin whitewalls. And tint the windows red. Actually, just give it to me and i'll do it

Retro indeed, like our old BT vans Rotary bit sounds fun but it look pretty jolly already and neat. |
| |
 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |
