Restoration pictures of the Canadian "Reactine" van.

The "Reactine" van in cartoon form taken from their web site. It tells you about the vans purchase in Mexico and transported to Canada for customisation.

I'm not sure why they wanted a J van, they did approach at least one J type owner in Britain to see if his van was suitable. They then did a bit of a world wide search and found this one. If any body can shed light on its history or even it chassis number I would be interested to know the details.


Non standard front and rear axles, the engine that was removed was an American unit with auto box, so this vehicle had already been updated before they got their hands on it.
A real "good job" being done.
Overhead pockets for the P.A. system.
Work has started and you can see it did have the correct original axle at least.

As found, correct wheels,axles,steering wheel etc the only main parts missing are the sliding doors, who needs them in Mexico? You need all the fresh air you can get.
