Very nice restoration, the van looks beautiful. I only would put the transfers on bevor the final assembley to give the hole van 1 or 2 layers of clearcoar for protection.
Well done, I really enjoy your commentary which includes a lot of historical info of both the casting and the original vehicle. Thanks for that. Take good care, be well and stay safe.
now this poor bottle float surely got slammed good... looking good again, ready to deliver more milk. :) great work! did I catch that right, the engine is removed through the passenger door along with the front suspension, after removing the windshield? no wonder fleet managers wouldn't touch this van with a ten-foot pole... surely a lot of them went to the scrap yard because of some minor repair that woulkd escalate quickly. side note: I remember a photo that was from way back when, probably another Commer milk float, with the line, "Drinka Pinta Milka Day" on the side. :)
Yep the design meant that most engine work would require complete removal via those means, in days where reliability wasn’t quite what it is today! You can see why fleet operators steered well clear
It looks fantastic! The history of these vehicles is always interesting and is one of the many things I like about your channel.
Totally agree. 👍
Nicely done, sir. Enjoyed the history of the vehicle.
I had one of these in the early 60s'. Lovely to see it had an interest elsewhere. They were simple toys, but well-loved.
Nice restoration and paint job 👌
Your knowledge of this van in quite impressive!!
Looking excellent Jason! Congrats

Looks really nice Jason!
Love the color, the chrome and white really make it pop.
Decals look good too.

Fantastic Jason, I’m just wondering what types of vehicles you will do when you’ve finished all the regular wheel Lesney
Oh I’m a long way off that point my friend!
💘 your puns!!
