	After a string of differant retro rides this is my current project its a 1978 commer dodge cross over coachbuilt . Its had the engine tuned and a lexus 6 speed box fitted . After buying it i was going to do it as a rolling project but soon found that a lot of water damage has happened to the coachbuilt and so its been stripped down inside to repair all the damage and i got stuck into customising it stright away The wheels are ac schnitzer 17" painted grey on adapters . Ive lowered the front and fitted states plates I was building a drag beach buggy before this van so I'm currently fitting all the guages and having some orange flake painted to my binikle and custom gear stick . Ill get some better pics up when i get time .

	Yes, caravans do rot in special ways that cars don't. Good luck with the caravan part, the rest looks great already and it will be amazing when finished.

	This is awesome! Love it! Is the lexus box attached to the original 4 banger? Like the wheel choice. Hope sorting out the living quarters doesnt take too long

	As it has a Lexus box I'm guessing it was fitted by Tim? Presumably you are also on the CVF forum?
