Mmmm, lowered Commer. I was looking for lowered Commer pics the other day and ran into a real horror story - the guy had bondo'ed away a number of holes, had the frame resting on the suspension arms, and some other absolutely terrible ideas. Apparently this can be done, but you have to do it right.

Oh yeah, that's how it is with pretty much all cars, there's a right way and a wrong way.

I mean, I bet it'd be pretty stiff. Probably fit a fair amount of shit.

For some interesting reason those Commer vans were sold also as Dodges and Fargos in Finland. Here's a restored Fargo that was originally used as a school (mini)bus:

In heavier vehicles Commer also used the weirdest diesel engine ever used in a vehicle. (Rootes-Lister) TS3 was a two stroke three cylinder opposed piston engine with a single crankshaft. I'm not sure if they they sold them here but I have seen one loose cylinder liner in my university's engine part collection.

If you go to Youtube for TS3 sounds the fate of your money will be sealed.
