Title: Missing Hot Bedford Van
Post by: Dazz on January 15, 2015, 09:51:59 PM

Hi All,
Trying to find my old van that I sold 7 years ago to a Michael Troeth from Brunswick I think. I had 3/4 finished it from a bomb of a starter but had to get a wheelchair for our disabled daughter. I just want to see how it is now. It was a SWB Metalic Blue Green CF Beddie with a mild 351 Ford Windsor in it. Everything was either chromed or painted and needed full inside done. Was set up for a XC GT dash. Had a tricked FMX auto & chromed 9"diff. 12 slotter wheels with big Mickey Thompsons on the rear. Flush door handles, trick bonnet scoop,full skin rear door, teardrop bubble side windows, sunroof,WB Tailights & XC grille,XC Headlights, braided piping, hidden wiring, BM Shifter and single 2.5" exhaust. Ph Dazz on 0400 955 919 or post message.
I was hoping to see it at a van show but havent yet?

Hi Frank,
Out of all the things I modified, I cannot remember what the heater fan was off??. I remember finding it on a car at Pick aPart for $5, painted it and made the plate and chromed it. The wiring harness for the whole van was XC and I cut a hole in the heater box and mounted the heater fan resistor. Worked great. It might of even been a Morris or something??
