Poor old Georgy....He does get himself worked up :D :D :D ;D ;D
-
Hey Johno, mate time for me to get help, this beddy thing is out of control. If you want to see custom vans, take a look at miami vice, they use a few custom vans for UC work, plus all the customs you see in the background of shots.
george.
-
lol yep george you got it baddest of us all :D :D , keep your eyes peeled for the men in little white beddys ;D ;D Q?? where/when did the customising of the bedford origonate from ??.. ps good thread bas, love ya collection maaaate ;)
-
Hey skip, will never happen buddy, if those men in little white beddy's turn up, i am just as likely to turn them. Dont worry i will get pics of the white beddy's for you. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
george.

;D heehee,hoho,haha ;D
-
Only get in if their got good padding (they drive shit) :-\ ;D
-
Post Wed, the first pic is of this van in it's prime, a few years later in pic 2 and the last pic was recorded 2 years later again, so must be the result of a rebuild, but not sure.............
-
Awesome, i think from memory the carving on the back was done using plaster and fibreglass.
george
-
Yes George, I have received the same information from a friend in the UK, but can't confirm this for sure, but the process would work for sure, might try it on the Black Beddie. ;) I have always liked the flow of this van, even the cab side windows are curved and not straight like most.
-
Thur post. A nifty setup, David maybe good for your next project, no problems about transporting :D
-
classic, looks a bit funny with no wheel at the front - could mid mount the heater ;)
-
Amazing, the mighty beddy even looks good as a trailer. Just imagine what you could do inside one of them as a trailer.
As for the van with the cast on the back, if you did it Bas, you could do a big KIWI bird, or do the big bedford logo, now that would look good .
george.
-
Talk to Obsession/Craig he will have all of them as he was compiling a DVD and would be intrested
-
Just a recap for George today, this van was rebuilt in 1990 to 1993, the back was done in full fibreglass, back to Bedford vans tomorrow........ ;) For those that want the full size photo for closer inspection, I will put them in my Gallery tonight............
-
Sat Post, this van has got lost, should belong in Aussie, Taz is it's name....... Same van, just different paint jobs through the years, its had about 3-4 I think.
-
i dont think van it in aussie. its left hand drive for a start. and the number plate looks like uk
-
Yes Ben its from the UK, that's what I am saying SHOULD belong to Aussie with the name Taz............. ;)
-
Found one more of the rear end...........
-
Sunday Post....... nice doors, many vans in the UK have this setup
-
Awesome Bas, my ex sheetmetal guy suggested the lambo doors for my van at one stage, yes they look good but on a beddy, mmmm dose'nt appear to be to much room to get in and out, compared to other cars fitted. I can say i canned the idea, at $1,500 a door, depending on supplier. In my case they would be for show only, i would never use my drivers door.
Have to say, i love the daily post, awesome newspaper. ;) ;D ;D ;D :o ::)
george.
-
Sorry, one more of the rear end of the last van post.............
-
Monday Post, note the exhaust................
-
That exhaust is different, what about the scoop on the bonnet, now thats different. Love the van, but what about the backdrop in the first pic, awesome.
george.
-
This is a good example of how to "Lower a Beddy" with body work.
Warren

-
Hey Warren, yep this was what i was trying to say in my post [dropping a beddy] but i was about as clear as mud. ;D ;D ;D see Bas/Johnno i do need pics. hehe ;) ;D ;D ;D :D :D :o :o ::) ::)
george.
-
I just love a pink van ;)
-
Hey Bas, love the tail lights and the airbrushing at the rear. Do you have a pic of the left side, is that a GPS or antennae dome in white that i can see in 1st pink pic.
george.
-
looks like the bottom of the side door is filled in - strange
-
I just love a pink van ;)
lol you would have loved my trumphy bas..painted it purple when up in alice, n in the sun it faded to a pink sort of colour,, had to give it a quick coat of matt black for disguise :D :D ::)
-
Wed Post, thought I would go green today......... sorry George, can't find photo of other side of pink van, but will keep looking ;)
-
Stripes again, see how they set off a van, what are they, oh yeh, PINK FLOYD STRIPES - DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.. ;D ;D ;D ;D love every part of this van.
george.
-
George, you love any van as long as it is a Bedford.......... ;D
-
Thur Post 4x4
-
nice work..love dem beddy 4 x 4s ;D ;D
-
Hey Bas, now you have out done yourself, yep i love beddy's, but i go nutso for a 4x4 beddy, the more the better. My next project is a 4x4, and i have already designed it, all i have to do now is design the funding, ;D slightly harder. ;D ;D ;D ;D
george.
-
Ok George, not a Bedford, but you have to love it.................
-
without trying to take the wind out of your sail are they 4x4 or are they done that stupid english gasser style they are so fond of.
Tried to lighten under the front to see if there is a diff but the programmes here at work are not that good, will check again at home
-
Hotrod, you may be right there, I haven't had that closer look, but I'm sure there must be one amonst them, It was more about the Beddie sitting high and the look it gives it just re-enforces just how good they look if converted to a 4x4 ;)
-
Hey Hotrod, i enhanced it some more and it looks like a diff, having said that, i still would not swear to it on a beddy workshop manual. The angle just leaves room for doubt. Still looks awesome though. There was a guy at noosa, and he did up a caddy 4x4, and an jag 4x4, the pics were in the newspaper, see if i can find it and give you a looksy. You are right bas, the look of a 4x4 beddy mmmmmm its just a pity they never went into production.
george.
-
I like this idea - high and low
-
David, you are already half way there. ;)
-
Fri Post
-
OMG george!!....is that the missing green one ??? ???
-
Sorry Skip, but no, this one is worth about $20,000 more then the missing one. ;D ;D ;D
george.
-
Ah "green is nice".....
-
Sat Post, nice clean vans...............
-
Sun Post
-
Sorry don't have very clear photo's of this rig but worth the post.........
-
I wont say AWESOME, i think i am just in heaven. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS This is just getting better. HEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
george.
-
Ok , Tues post ....................the last photo is a different van ,but I like the spots, blinkers and bull bar set it off.
-
oooh i like that one
-
I brother and his wife came over the other day and I was working on the custom van, she says "oh the A team van is coming along nice" pffft
-
Had a similar thing happen to me today, one of me young blokes mates called in, known him as long as Ponting has been captain of the 1st 11, sez ... geez Ed that bedford van still in your garage? you been working on it for like 20 years .... never mind I've had three other vans since I last saw him .... pfft
-
I reckn the next person who see's my van and says 'hey...its scoby doo' is going to die a slow horrible death, man that movie has a lot to answer for!!!
-
I reckn the next person who see's my van and says 'hey...its scoby doo' is going to die a slow horrible death, man that movie has a lot to answer for!!!
same with my van people keep saying put a red strip on it and make it look like the "A TEAM"
-
Wed Post, looks like second van has had a chop?
-
I agree Bas, it looks like the swb roof has been cut even more to lower it. The doors still look original height. I love that grill, nice and neat.
george.
-
I am thinking more of a 2"- 4" chop in the front ???
-
I think it's original, the side glass is the main reason. I think it's the spoiler and side skirts that brings the top into proportion
notice no side door hinges
-
Bas I think there should be a 3 picture minimum on your daily posts :D
anymore pics of the top one?
-
Ok found another photo of the blue van, not choped, must be the angle photo taken, David should have more photo's of the top van, my filling system is not that great ;)
-
Thurs Post...
-
that purple one has gull wing front doors doesn't it?
-
Yep sure does, have a photo of it oen some where ???
-
hey Busykiwi your brown vans a legend,
a mate of mine that sand blasts was telling me about this awsome brown chopped van the other week,
i said that sounds like Busy,s van.
lol, i opened the buger site n showed marton, n gave him the web site details..
and sure enough it was your van man,:D ;D
i havent seen marton for a few days but i bet he,s enjoying the site n gallery pictures.

They're Chevy mirrors. There are heaps available on ebay.

-
:) Sorry guys, my external hard drive with all the photo's on decided not to work any more, so in the end chucked it at the wall, pluged it in again, now all works, just goes to show.
-
Now that black one is just plain TUFF . :o Right height and BIG tyres ;) ;) ;)
-
:) Sorry guys, my external hard drive with all the photo's on decided not to work any more, so in the end chucked it at the wall, pluged it in again, now all works, just goes to show.
But you have got them backed up to another drive haven't you Bas...? ;) If you haven't a really good time to do that would be now.
-
:)
-
gee thats low.. looks crazy good:)
-
:)
-
I'm all for carrying a spare but that last photo in the series is taking it to the extreme
;)
-
Interesting rear wheel offset, wouldn't last two seconds over here
-
You're right on the offset - I got pinged with my first set of deep-dishes hanging out of the flares by 2 inches.
Don't mind those rear lights though...

They're the standard facelift CF rear lights.

Guess that would be no then.
-
no wonder there so wide! bedford diff, adapter plates, huge wheels!! is that right? far out
-
I had nissan urvan tail lights on mine, closes i could find to those ones.
george
-
:)
-
I'm guessing the top photo is the later one, new rear side window, roof spoiler, roof lights, different grill, scoop ...
Not bad for a mk2
-
Correct David, yea I like it too...........
-
Looks too much like a Transit to me
-
I like it ;D
-
Looks too much like a Transit to me
Only difference between mk1 and 2 is the square front guards and bonnet so it still has the bedford lines.
I've always preferred the mk1, the rounded front guards just do it for me
-
I love the CF with it's all rounded body, no square or sharp edges. I offen wonder what a 2011 beddy would look like if they decided to bring it back as they did with the transit. I guess if the transit & monaro are any examples, beddy would look like crap. If i was asked to design the new beddy, i would maintain the cf body, but would fit it with all the latest technology, but i would do a 4x4 option, and a dual cab ute. Oh well, dream on. :o :o ;D ;D :)
george.
-
; ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
probably a big fat mini!!
-
; ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
probably a big fat mini!!
ooh yeah.. ooh yeah... that thought just got me :o a big fat mini ::) ::)
-
anyways Bas, has been 3 days since your last posting of bedford porn ...
-
Sorry David.......... had a few things go down, last photo is of our Delica, lucky it wasen't one of the Bedfords :(
Ok first 2 are Mk2 Beddies, Sorry, but look at the difference between the running boards and skirts, love the side look of the blue one...........
And a Mk 1 .............
-
ooooch
but do the middle seats in the delica swivel or have they just got armrests
if they swivel, good front seats for your beddie :)
-

Here is a photo of the truck that hit it............

Nice van Baz, i like that last van, not sure i would do it but still cool, I like what they did with that rear end, incorporating the spare. I wonder how much is steel and how much is fibreglass. Is this an older van, 70s or a recent build,
george.

All in fibreglass George, I have a mate there, he built his van all in steel, 4 years later the rust was back, rebuilt it again in fibreglass, 10 years later no sign of the rust.
All the rust work on my camper has been done in steel, but will do the repair work (rust) on the Black Beddie in fibreglass, as I only want to do it once. Photo of this van was taken at a 2002 meet if my information is right.
Photo of another spare wheel set up.............
-
:) might have posted this van before, but have received better quality photo's.........
-
not sure about the side window but the mural is good
lwb low roof
-
I love that back mural
-
I'm kinda fond of the 2 side doors, like a dodge.
-
I'm kinda fond of the 2 side doors, like a dodge.
:) yep me too!!
-
Me and some mates did that to a bedford back in the late 80's to a jumbo. The guy who owned the van got a pair of side door hinges from the UK - we kept the side doors on the left.
-
:)
-
looks weird seeing the side door on the right hand side, like the tail lights
-
looks weird seeing the side door on the right hand side, like the tail lights

looks weird seeing the filler cap on the left hand side ::) :D :D
-
They have a filler on both sides, twin tanks. But what is weird is a 5 door van, 2 front, 2 cargos, and the rear hatch. Awesome, where is this van located, hard to see the steering wheel. Nice clean van love it, good one Baz.
george.
-
it is a left hand drive, wipers give it away

george.
-
Ok as promised my van with the twin fillers.
george.
-
:)
-
:) that's almost good ;) very American influenced I like the paint layout except for the white ? maybe would have used the sunset tones instead of the white and some hurricanes.
-
:)
-
:)
-
Sorry David forgot to remove the filler cap from the left hand side - DONE :D
-
thats not to bad but I really hate sunroofs used as windows ....fussy bastard arnt I
-
Love the cab on this one, looks very durable / hard wearing, great for the kids - keeping it clean.
-
Hey Bas, i think the kids may think different about that mate. LOL ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;) They may say that dad can keep it clean easily. ;D ;D ;D
george.

george.
-
:)
-
:) :)
-
Sorry but those wheels are disgusting.
-
Yeah they would look BETTER on mine haha
-
ohhhh :o I like the wheels but they are popping out too much... I would prefer to see them tucked in.
-
I like it , cant wait to see it finished.
-
Looks like a Transhit at the moment
-
Wadda ya reckon Craig, bit of time spent on that bodywork ? :-\
-
was going to tuck them in but wanted the room inside to set it out like a limo . Was going to wait to post in my gallery when its all done but now there are some photos out there will post them by the week end and you can see how much more along i am
-
Oh yea in case you want to no the size on the back ive got 20 by 14=335/35/20 and 20 by 8,5=245/35/20
-
Fak 335's?
-
:)
-
looks like Adrian sands old van, "warlord"
-
:)
-
Now,, that white one looks the goods :o :o ::)
-
:)
-
:) Ok we have seen alot of this van, but here are some very clean shots, She's running a 3.9 fuel injected rover v8 and auto box.
-
:) and another old one............ and another
-
:) And some old scaned mags from the past.............
-
hey where can i get one of these models ???????? is it plastic or diecast. I want it ;D ;D ;D ;D :D ;) ::) :o
george
-
Ok, a treat today, this is a nice van, got my mate sending some new photo's by email to me in Germany, so will be uploading a new set of photo's each day...............
-
hey where can i get one of these models ???????? is it plastic or diecast. I want it ;D ;D ;D ;D :D ;) ::) :o
george
Sorry George, to my understanding this is scaned form a mag and is of a real van, but one below is a model, as I have one at home the same. Bas ;) Not a bedford, but I have added side window recesses and bedford grill etc, so looks like a Bedford, will upload some photo's when I get back to NZ
-
That red van looks real good coming from France.
-
Great looking van that red / maroon one, BUT whose idea was it to stick that stupid bloody tow ball on the back, come on, you would have to be blind as a bat, not to see that it is out of place. mmmmmmm
george.
-
well, its french... less sense makes that license plate holder on the door...
-
:) Ok George, no towbar on this one ?
-
Nice! 8)
-
i agree, love that chameleon paint.
george.
-
:) Pink, Pink and Pink
-
rrrrr.........no! ???
-
rrrrr.........no! Huh
ha ha agreed
-
rrrrr.........no! Huh
ha ha agreed
x3
-
Well I like pink things haha
-
Ok no more pink ones, shame I had a few ;) but I know you like GREEN ones :D No Beddies in Germany but a few Trans...t :o but wil hook up with a van club here next week, but all have vans from the States..........
-
Green....green is nice!!! ;D
-
;)
-
mmmm ok, like the airbrush work, but that exhaust system would'nt want to run over a matchstick, that is low. And not sure about one sliding door, and one hinged door, looks lopsided.
george
-
interesting place to put the side mirrors :-\
-
love the pistol grip gearstick
-
:)
-
I love how they use the whole van as their canvas
-
You dont see a full van mural these days, pity. These days it is cheaper to do a wrap rather then airbrushing. To do the paint job in a wrap, they can do it in a day. 1 day to print, 1 day to wrap, would take a couple of weeks to paint.
george
-
The problem is that there are too many maggots out there that think it's really funny to key someone's pride and joy. Either that or they just feel they are hard done by because they have never got off their lazy useless arses and created for themselves something that is truely unique.
I thought about a mural for mine but decided that it just wasn't worth the grief and expense when all it takes is a couple of seconds for some scumbag to ruin it all. Either that or I'd have to keep it locked in the garage for the rest of it's life just to keep it safe.
-
The problem is that there are too many maggots out there that think it's really funny to key someone's pride and joy.
We used to call it a "two bob" and if I had $1 for every one done around here I could retire. If you have a flash paint job don't leave it parked around here.

Yep the whole pink thing aint working for me!

Windows 7, as far as I know nothing has changed on the computer except not using it for 6 weeks while away, yes can open by clicking on it, opens in window viewer etc, but this would take for ever to see what I have aready loaded and not, should be able to click on pictures under start and see them all, not just the symbol. :-\
-
:o win 7 is the bastad offspring of vista :o
-
if you click on the "View" button W7 will switch between the different views (thumbnails, tiles, icon, list, details)
The default view setting may have been inadvertently changed.

I know what you're talking about Bas. See if either of these links below help. The second link mentions that if the 'Windows Photo Viewer' is not set as the default viewer for your image files then the thumbnails won't display the picture so have you installed any new graphics type applications recently that may have taken over your file associations?
Have a look through these links anyway because it's a lot quicker than me typing it out.

Any way, Farther inlaw has posted it off, should have by Monday and start posting again

The yellow one (abbreavation) was built in the UK but was brought to NZ back in the late 80's or early 90's, as far as I know it's still here, or died here. Had the side door in the back

Yeah they look to be the same spoiler.
Thanks Bas.
Garry I always thought, that where your stop light is in the rear of the roof, this area from side to side should be recessed to form a spoiler that is within the roof itself, I was, still am to make up a fibreglass recess, I think David may have done something like this? Bas

Yep sounds like the one, still looking; might be able to post pictures of my van here soon, goes into the shop to get the panel work done / mods, just don't get the time myself to do it ??? ??? ???

make sure they take lots of pics Bas. ;D ;D ;D
george

:)
-
this is the van but can't find any reference to arabian nights
cv&t just call it french bedford and Vans (customised vans in colour) show a close up of the face stating"the face of a french woman painted by Cordebar" and refer to the van later as "Moustache"
"a thirty year old with a french face,"
hope this helps
BTW love the paint scheme on the van above the face

what's the story with this one Bas ?
-
Out of South Africa, details are:
Bedford Van with V8 and 18 inch wheels. A lot of custom work done on the body. BMW Disk brakes, Painted Metallic Black, V8 engine(308) with 3 speed auto box, 18 Inch wheels with new Bridgestone tires. Custom windows. Interior need to be completed and some odds and ends
I guess those things you are talking about are the odds and ends....... :D
-
A new front for the Bedford ???
-
Dura flex? what's it made by a condom company?
-
gee surely the tailights would have been going in before it was painted not after??? hmmm

Americans never had the pleasures of a CF.
It is probably an Opal Blitz in Europe.

Love checking out all the Beddys posted on the Daily Post.
Would like to know if it would be possible to make a Bedford book ( NOt sure if any copyright issues will apply )

Going by the shape of the flares I "wood" say SLR Torana flares glassed on

This is the best bedy going around in my eyes! Every time I see it I just think how many hours and effort went into it. And believe it or not this van is driven every day as his work car, no bs he really does and look how hot the thing is. Could only ever dream to have one that comes close to this one and keep it in as clean condition

1976 CF Bedford Van
Whilst the PMG, and later Australia Post, has generally standardised on the Ford Transit van for mail delivery since the late 1960s, this vehicle was part of a small batch of Bedford vans ordered during the mid-seventies. It sports the first version of the Australia Post logo, introduced in 1975 when Australia Post was established to replace the Postmaster forgot to add
General's Department (PMG). This van saw a relatively short service life, after which it was used by Australia Post as a promotional vehicle. It has 69,800 km recorded on the odometer, and remains in close to new condition.
This vehicle is one of the later batch of CF Bedford vans, which were fitted with Holden engines of either 173 or 202 cubic inch capacity.
The van was part of the Australia Post heritage collection, which was donated to the Sydney Bus Museum in 2005.
Engine: Holden 173 cubic inch (2850 cc) low-compression.
Transmission: Holden 3-speed Trimatic.

Craig did you catch up with Phil Nutter at the Pinjarra show? He told me he has heaps of 70's Van runs on Super 8 film might be worth borrowing and getting converted, I'd pay to watch them

Here is the information I have.. Just did a bit of research, this is a interesting way to go....... This is the process from the van above he used.
First step was to sort out some bigger wheels to fit bigger brakes, now you simply can NOT buy bigger wheels for CF Bedfords any more, the stud pattern is essentially a pain in the ass & extremely hard to deal with.
Studs removed, hubs drilled to six stud on the same PCD, then adaptors used to convert to the typical Jap 4wd/commercial stud pattern.
Now that we had some room for bigger brakes (stock wheels were 14") we could go on the hunt for something that would work.
After a HUGE amount of time was wasted on people that simply didn't respond to emails or return ph calls etc (because it just got too hard for them) we purchased a set of brake rotors.
They are the 13" two piece units, this allowed me to design custom hats to suit the Bedford hubs & have these & the caliper mounts machined just around the corner.
Z32 300ZX TT front brake calipers were overhauled & painted then the whole lot was slapped on:
-
that looks so good baz
-
Murray (McQuoid Engineering) who does the HQ disc brake conversion is now working on another (bigger) kit. I think the HQ are 9 or 10" with single pot callipers but is making up a bigger set using commodore discs with twin pot callipers .
He's going to be using my old front of the van (my trailer van) to set up a display with the HQ and bigger set up and the power steering kit he has designed. I have photo of the power steering kit am just waiting on a price before i post anymore details

The answer to that is simple, if you have ever lived in Europe, when you open your door to get out amounst heavy trafic the door does not get in the way of any trafic comming from behind. ;D

george
Hey george, any chance of getting a copy of that video (can you put it online) ?
Someone pointed that van out to me not long after I started my website about my custom van, have heard many rumours about that yellow van since, like its got airbags etc but it looks like he is using leaf springs and diff, I believe he is running the rover v8 which is a lot shorter than the chevy v8
-
Hey busy, not a problem, i will dig it up, and if you have a suggestion on how to get it from disc to pc that would be great, not to savy on those things. YET ;) it only goes for about 5mins, and i have it on DVD+RW.

George if it is a avi, mp4 or wvm you should be able to put it in your album and link to it.

Ok, this is what i know, i saw a story on foxtel, hit record, then copied to my hard drive recorder, did some editing, and copied it to a DVD+RW dvd. So are you saying i can play it on my laptop, save it to say pictures then post it on here. ;D :o :o :o :o ???
george
-
Hey George, it will probably be in normal DVD format in which you will need DVD to avi/mp4 etc type of software. Maybe youtube it or even better get someone in the know

george
George what file extension did the editing software save it as ? if is one of the formats I qouted above then you should be able to just upload it, but if it is in a video format then as atk1 says you will have to decript it and then convert it.
Warren
-
If you've saved it on your DVD recorder and then have written it to a DVD then I highly doubt it is encrypted. It'll be saved as a VOB file which most media players worth their salt can play. Using your computer have a look at the DVD file structure. There will probably be a folder called VIDEO_TS on the DVD. Have a look in there and you should see a bunch of files and at least one of them should have the extension VOB on the end.
Look at the file sizes to the right hand side if you have 'detailed' view selected for your files and pick the largest one which should be the main video file. If you double-click on it, it will probably play in Windows Media Player so you can then confirm that it's the right one. Depending how large it is you could copy it somewhere one of us could grab and then it could be encoded to a different format and smaller file size.
-
Hey Rogue, i had a look at it last night, it goes for about 2 half mins, not long. I have a pioneer dvd/hdd recorder that connects like a normal pvr to the tv, but the genuis of it is i can go into an editing window and cut out all the commercials and crap, so that you are left with just the footage you want. When i put the DVD+RW discs into my laptop and play all is good, so will try and look for vob, worse case i send a copy to shane or someone and you guys can sort it out.

it's actually blues on silver
copied the paint scheme from a ute (pickup) in a USA hot rod mag
was a nice van that, 350 chev, 9in diff, full custom interior.
I tried to find it before i started my current custom van, records show it was deregistered and someone told me it was rusted out in some back yard out south
There was another one similar paint (poor copy of it) not long after i sold this one, when i was young and cruised town I used to get a lot of people saying they had seen my old van but was the other one.

busy .. were did you get the wing from .. i bought one, like it off trademe for $40

bas .. how have you got on with the a team sun visor ?
Yep sunvisor all preped and ready to lay, just waiting for the garage to empty, a mates car in in there, half in metal, should be shifted in a week. Have the old sunvisor on a mates van, he says it makes a sound while driving, may need to change the air flow a little, as it was imported form the states from a Chev van, he will be up on the weekend so will test drive and see, may need to make a little change to the mould before I lay....... ???

tiwaz, i can't remember where i got it from, that van is probably 15-20 years old

may need to make a little change to the mould before I lay.......

great effort anyway... ;D
-
A duel wheel diff, Gee they are Heavy Duty, well on the outside anyway...........
-
that looks like a ford centre
-
Ok, didn't look that close.......
-
so it could have just failed where the welds were. how is the diff conversion done? just but welded? could be a problem.
ben
-
If it was converted it should of been joined further out. The old axle tubes are usually turned down and pressed into the head tube and welded.
from factory the tubes are plug and seam welded. without knowing the full story it looks like the factory weld broke at the bottom causing the case to split. thats a lot of pressure to do that though.
A diff under pressure usually goes out of alignment and snaps the axles at the spline
-
I would suggest bracing it like they do for competition 4x4s

That's a clever mod to the front of the green one!
Gives the later model better curves.....I like it..........might even use it.

Craig and I went and had a look at the orange one years ago, it was at the car yard next to the subway in MT Lawley/East Perth, I reckon it was around 1991.... real nice van,It had a moss green shag carpet interior that was very wet and smelt it..... we bailed pretty quick after opening the rear doors. think they were asking 10k back then.

I hadn't seen this one before, the paint looks sick!
And that rear window is original.
-
Hey...Check out the pair on that Dodge!! :-* :)
-
This French Bedford -"Titanic" got lots of views, so here's a couple more pics.
-
Further research on this wild Euro custom van, suggests it is actually Italian.
-
Probably why it looks like a Fiat.
-
Thought more like an Alfa
-
It,s interesting how far some people go, when customizing.

I owned this van for a while. It was a truly amazing vehicle.
-
WOW!! Zeeman, I'm sorry I didn't realize it was an Aussie van. It's a seriously radical build.
Who did all the panel work? Is it featured anywhere else on this site? Any more info?
-
Hobbit zeeman owned it in the UK.
ben
-
yep definately uk rego plate...
-
It's a UK van, built there in the early 80's.
Been meaning to do a thread about it, will get around to it soon.

Hello fellow Bedfordians, sorry to crash your thread again, Bas.
Found another pic of 'Titanic' from an old post, which shows the rear quarter.
Between this and Zeeman's U.K. van, there's some really trick panelwork.
Back to you Bas...........................
-
I like it

Man that last vid was an inspiration. Talk about resurrecting an almost basket case. :o Fantastic to see ;D

I love the stretch beddy, red one. BUT where he went wrong in my opinion is when he chopped up the front, me i would of given him 10 outa 10 if he had of kept the beddy front, bonnet so on. He could of done what we do here with mesh in the grill or a ford grill, but to totally destroy it, that is a crime against beddies. I give it 7 outa 10, because i love the interior, cab and back.

I agree the front is just wrong and I think the third stage of the roof just doesn't flow right

The stretch Beddy was certainly something different.....in a good way. The recording of Get Back was also something different.......in a really REALLY bad way..........you can always chop, shape and change a Beddy - but you just cannot attempt the same with a classic beatles song! my ears are still bleeding!
-
How about this idea for a Beddy?

would the cowling be a pain when changing the windscreen ?

Who cares :D but it looks good, just pay some one else to do it, but looks like a good gap has been left, and if you remove the bonnent not much left.

How do you reckon that bonnet opens anyway ???

How do you reckon that bonnet opens anyway ???
Guess the only option is for it to flip forward..
-
would still be able to open normally, either standard hinge which may limit it's lifting height or new hinges at the top which would allow a lot of room.
I'm doing a flip forward bonnet on my custom, is proving to be a real pain in the butt cause the bonnet points inthe middle, it doesn't seem much until you try tilting forward
-
David, why not do a split open from each side.?
-
I was going to but the guards aren't strong enough to hold the weight, they would at first but a few wind gusts and the guards would bend

great! you found more photos of that CF! It doesnt have the white racing stripes anymore-
-
The red van is nice but that black van with the blue flames at the top is sweeeeet.
-
yeah , black one with blue flames is my fav as well.
i like how its got no rear window recesses on the sides as well...
it sort of makes it look shorter.......
-
No way MTY, my favorite has to be the 4x4 lookalike, the silver one, and then the black one with flames and then the black ute.
george
-
The black van with blue flames ROCKS. I like my Marshall amps as much as anybody else, but I wouldn't
put their badge on a Beddy. ??? At least they're both British brands.
-
Panneling out the window recesses makes a huge difference to the looks so who on ther will be the first to do it?

The flames on the Marshall van are a bit sub-par. Spoils it really. :'(
-
Na, recesses look cool, not a Beddie without them.. Just go buy a Chevy then.
-
Chev,s are too big and over weight.
beddy with no recesses get my vote.
-
Been there, done that. 'She's pretty big job' but well worth doing. Kinda had to really as I needed to remove the recess for the back bay windows so couldn't leave recesses in the other panels as it wouldn't have looked right.
-
Yes if you are putting Bay windows in etc, but no if leaving window-less
-
looks heaps better without recesses, perfect clean sides for murals, as well.
should have got rid of the roof channels as well.
but each to their own, hey......
-
Here's a famous Beddie with flat side panels, which certainly are better for artwork.
-
Yes, that one I kind of like as they have left the line through the body, level with the front window.
-
I removed the recess on my custom, and have thought about putting them back in, but I think it suits it with no recess.
I know what you mean Bas about it being a bedford thing thou
-
Yeah i guess there is merrit in it, as sometimes the only thing left standard on some vans are the recesses.
-
We had a van here many years ago (pre '80) where they had reversed the recesses so that instead of recessing inwards, they came outwards. It was a big job and looked really different once you figured out what was going on. You had to do a double take to realise that the usual recess lines you saw had been reversed. Only saw it on the one van though.

wow that woul;d have been a big job,

Thank's for the input guys I suppose the Torana would be the easyest to get do you think it would be the easyest to adapt I just want to get rid of the handbrake & the shifter from between the seats so it's easier to swivel around to get into the back of the camper Cheers Reid

German web site:
Even so, a rare classic on German roads: The Bedford Blitz. And even if the Bedford Blitz in Germany has always been a niche has led - in the UK was this truck a long time often seen vehicle and for many non-British is the Bedford Blitz a "typical British" car dar. This was mainly because, that this transporter was with artisans and small companies because of its functionality and reliability very popular, but was used very frequently by the British Post Office. And of course, very much as a milk transport vehicle. His "good-natured" appearance caused because additional sympathy.

The name was the Bedford commercial vehicle brand of Vauxhall Motors, so that the name actually Bedford only small trucks and buses were built. The bus division was also one of the main reasons why Bedford came into financial difficulties in the mid 1980s, as the early 80s known as the Transport Act 1980 was introduced in the UK, which broke the state bus monopoly and should deregulate bus services. Then the need for large coaches jumped and Bedford had in this area due to its focus on small buses in the cold.

Rob, Debbie and family who own it are great folks, I had the honour of parking up next to them at the Kumeu rod show a couple years back, well thats after they stopped to see if I was ok. My standard bedford died outside the show and they stopped to help, was a maiden voyage and problem was only a loose computer connection.
After the show we sat and had a chat

Agreed. Awesome couple and a verrrry cool Dodge.

This guy brought my CF ute. He's in the van club and has his own business restoring cars etc he's in Henderson if anyone needs some body work done, think he's a coach builder by trade
-
That sign should say VANDALISAM
-
Vanadium is owner by another of our club members and was beyond repair. He now has a MK2 CF being rebuilt. This one is being stripped down and some parts being used to repair a couple more CF's in Reagans shop. The rest on offer on trademe. As busy said, he's a trained coachbuilder and does great work and is a really nice guy, so if you need any custom work done, he's your man.

I take it, this is some of his work...

Hey Bas, yeah was sitting in the sun with dogs this morning and thinking about that. I really do want to get it finished, i was so close when the metal guy pulled out. My daughter is getting married next year, so i want to finish a few things up this year and i will just hit it full hrottle after xmas. We only had a few bits of body work to do and it was into paint. Being it has been 2yrs since we last worked on it, i am going to see if he wants to finish it for me. I have'nt given up on it, it will get done and it will blow your mind when its done.

Yeow that looks cool Now whoes gona be the 1st to build one

Bas, there is an interesting story behind that orange CF2 that is for sale in South Africa. In the early '80s when vanning was at its peak a South African caravan manufacturer called Jurgens imported 200 brand new plain old CF2 panel vans from the UK. They pulled out the original engines and transplanted Ford V6 3 liter motors with manual gearboxes and then proceeded to fit out the interiors with 4 swivel captain's chairs, and fold down couch. The four seats swiveled to face a round removable cocktail table. The vans featured the windows as shown on the orange van and they were fitted with air-conditioning. The vans were re-badged as a Jurgens Cruise' o Van and were offered in light metallic blue paint or flat beige with brown stripes. I bought one of these vans in 1999 and rebuilt it with a 350 small block. There aren't many survivors of the original 200.
-
Sounds like a good buy then, yes in the ad it was called (Jurgens Cruise' o Van ) so this is one of those for sure then. Thanks for the info, interesting, take it this is the blue one in your gallery / below...
And you brought the Porsche over with you and not the Bedford???? :D
(http://www.buga.com.au/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=17031&g2_serialNumber=2)
-
Yep, bad call in hindsight. I sold that van for ZAR 28,000 which works out to about $4K kiwi and there wasn't a spot of rust in it. In my photo that you posted you will see the light blue nose of an interesting looking car pointing out of the garage. That is a 1964 GSM Flamingo. Only about 120 ever made and I rebuilt that one from a bare shell that we found lying under a tree in the bush. Although not a Bedford I'll attach a before and after shot just for fun. Also sold that before we moved. Another of my big regrets.
-
Yes, I guess if we could see into the future, we would all make different calls, but for most of as that is not the case, when I was around 23yrs I had a chance to buy a Bedford that was owned and built by Mike Ironside, a well known self taught customizer here, but I didn't, I regret that choice so much, even today. ;) A lady brought it and the real pain was that she lived local, so used to see it on the street a lot, didn't help things...
But Gordon, nice find and job done on the 1964 GSM Flamingo, had seen photo's of this type of car before, but was not sure of its name.. Well the good news is you are now back on track now with the rebuild of your van, that I'm sure will bring may years of joy, after all the pain they give us in the process... ;)
-
Yep, at the time you make a decision based on the knowledge at hand. With the extra knowledge gained later come the regrets. Thought I would post a more appropriate Bedford picture that includes my old Flamingo.
-
Thanks for the pics, do you have any of the interior, was it set up as you said before, van looks real clean and tidy.. also looks like it is sitting very low..
-
Hi Bas, when I bought the van it was in pretty poor condition. I've got a few pictures of the van when I first bought it, but they aren't in soft format so I'll scan a few and upload them to my gallery. It was beige with the brown stripe when I bought it and the standard Cruise o Van interior . I managed to get the van lower by fitting shorter front springs and I had the rear leaf springs reset. I'll load up some pics shortly.
-

Posted on this before, but info this time around.
Well on paper the CBS Supervan was a promotional vehicle but that doesn’t mean it shares any similarities with other promotional vehicles like say the Oscar Meyer Weiner mobile.
Alan Arnon, the marketing manager of CBS automotive parts built this as a promotional one off sometime in the 80s. (CBS made brake pads, clutches, belts etc)
Starting as a standard Bedford CF the most noticeable modification done to this Van at first glance is the wide body but beneath all of that custom bodywork lies the real craziness.
This van is powered by a 4.4 Rover v8 motor, has a Jaguar XJ12 front and rear suspension (that’s the one with inboard brakes), air shocks, Recaro seats with speakers in the headrests… the list goes on and on.
Basically the CBS Supervan is a super awesome van that once roamed the uk but seems to have have vanished over the years.
Apparently it is being mothballed so really someone needs to find it and bring it back out.

Hi Fellas
The blue van on pg113 with the vertical twin headlights, can someone tell me what vehicle those lights would have come from. I would really like to have stacked headlights or do you guys have any other ideas for headlights, want the twin vertical headlight look. Would LEDs work, if so what type. they seem to come in driving lights only so far as the rectangle ones are concerned.
Thanks, Brendon
-
Looks like Mazda 929, could bring in some Dodge or Chev van ones (early model) a few outfits online that sell them and ship to NZ..
-
Hey Brendon,
Check out the lights in the blue van further up this page in-front of the caravan. Those are available as single lights from Hella. Buy 4 of them and make up your own vertical mounting plate to fit them into, then make up a light surround to suit, job done. Those lights are a generic one, fitted to all sorts of vehicles. The 4 in the front of my van are the same fitted into a Daihatsu Delta truck mounting plate. I'll see if I still have the Hella part number at home and if so I'll post it here.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Garry.
-
Hi,
I spotted this blue van in 1990 in germany. Sorry but I do not know from which car the lights come. Conversions with Chevy Van parts were popular at that time. Hella would also be possible.
Peter
-
Hey Brendon,
Those Hella part numbers are as follows:
#1041 165 x 100 Quartz Halogen - high beam
#1042 165 x 100 Quartz Halogen - high/low beam
Garry.

Well came across these while cleaning up, a bit water damaged but ok
Red one is UFO, Green back one is Joint effort ran a 4.1 Falcon motor, Silver one has a chev front and the other a Holden grill by the looks of it.
From the 80's, Auckland Custom Van Show.

Shame these vans have a horrible end, even that "mirror image" was last heard of was up on blocks rusting away out south Auckland somewhere.
I've got some photos of a custom bedford with full murals that was hit in the front, this was back in the 80's, think it was called barbarian. Was the first and last time I ever saw it but I remember running home to grab my hanamax 500 camera and taking lots of photos of the interior. I'll try dig them out
-
Gee, hate to think how old I was when I took these, just a little nipper ;)
-
you in the pram while ya folks push you around you reckon? lol
I think we're showing our age
-
Na, around 18 or so I guess, and now I start all over again with another one, but only difference is it takes a lot longer now, and I might not get to see this one finished ;)
also a inside shot, someone loved purple..

Grant, who owned it was a boat builder (is now drag racing in the states), fibre glass (and ply) side skirts and flares, 350 chev ..., they put a commodore front suspension in it to get it real low but because it was so low it always looked top heavy - needed a roof chop
-
Ah good memories.
The front end on UFO was the second it had after the first one met a sad end with a stone wall. Owned/builder Graham Hill founded Parlour Vans here in Auckland and is still around travelling the country in a big black Hino bus with cowboy murals on it. The silver van was owned by Jim & Bernie Bainbridge and was running a 350 chev and were members of Auckland Custom Vans. Joint Effort was also a Parlour Vans vehicle.
Mirror Image was with West City Custom Vans and although it looked the part, didn't drive too well with the commodore suspension and used to bump steer a bit. Would have looked awesome with a roof chop as it was pretty low already.
I'll see if I can dig some old pics out.
Cheers,
Garry.
-
Yes Gary, please take the time to post some photo's as you must have more than us all put together ;)

Hey Busy,
They must be awesome. I'd like to see them get a 2 tonne CF Bedford up to 255 km/h and 0 to 60 in 6.8 secs with just 170 HP. Doesn't compute to me.
Garry.

if the 170hp is at the wheels maybe!

This is a good thread for you David, you will have to do one of your chopped van before you sell it... ;) as long as it dosen't take the same amount of time. :D

I've actually started doing one, started out with the hotwheels A team van, so far have just filed the body lines to that of a CF. Took a bit to much off the front corners so need to find my old body lead.
Have a few 1/24 plastic vans, was thinking of doing one of my custom CF but would probably be easier to scratch build it instead of using an existing kit as the chevy and dodge vans differ to much from the CF

(Good joke i heard today, )
Little Joey goes to confess,=
"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl."
The priest asks, "Is that you, little Joey Pagano?"
"Yes, Father, it is."
"And who was the girl you were with?"
"I can't tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation."
"Well, Joey, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?"
"I cannot say."
"Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?"
"I'll never tell."
"Was it Nina Capelli?"
"I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."
"Was it Cathy Piriano?"
"My lips are sealed."
"Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?"
"Please, Father! I cannot tell you."
The priest sighs in frustration. "You're very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself."
Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers, "What'd you get?"
"Four months vacation and five good leads..."

Nebs.
You need to wake the van culture up in SA, they don't know how easy they have it when it comes to road worth certificates and the law, no excuses for everyone not to have a van. - having just gone through the nightmare of getting my lorry on the road I can see why the van population in Australia is so small.
You can't make a plan over here, a case of Castle on the back seat just doesn't cut it - its the book or nothing and no matter what you try it gets blocked .
Luckily its all over now so we've started on the road of making her look the part, so far so good.
-
Hi Bean,
I am trying to get in touch with some of the owners, but very few are actually on the road. The best way is to attend few of car shows with a nice van to inspire the other guys to bring theirs out again.
This is a nice one in the Cape.
The white one was for sale or swop on gumtree a few months ago.

You guys are fortunate to have this site and to be able to get together at times. I also have lots of pics of British and French vans, but would not be sure if these has been on the Buga site before. Anyway, here is another SA van to view. This one has a really neat spoiler and wheel arch setup with gullwing back door..

Nebs .
My first love for Bedfords came when I saw a van in Durban in a shop window at the bottom end of West Street back in '76 called "L'il Blue Mule" I think the price was R12000.00 at the time ,for me it would have been 3 years salary so it put it out of reach back then - Any idea of what happened to it or do you have pics of this van?
-
Hi Bean,
I remember the van. Unfortunately I lost pics of it.
I drooled over Lil Blue Mule. I was for sale at "Love Motors" in Smith street.
John Love had it built for himself.
He sold Escort and Combi Panelvans semi customised from this shop. (Durban Surfers transport)
This was Lil Blue Mule, but was dark Royal Blue where yellow on pic and light metallic blue with airbrushwork on back where tan on pic.
I was driving this Transit (daily transport) with Frazetta airbrushings at the time, while I was building my first CF (this blue and white van)
This green Bedford used to park at bottom end of West street (close to Point road) Was my main inspiration to finish my Beddy.

Hi Wendy,
Have you looked into seeing if you can make a sliding door track out of Teflon? When I was working in Indo we skid 400ton generators round using Teflon and Stainless Steel strips as there was very little resistance. When we needed to help slide the Indo crew used grease but it was messy and made Teflon soften so I converted them to use Morning Fresh detergent and the result was awesome and didn't affect Teflon. Two big advantages was due to heat grease would melt and make a huge mess and catch dust making a gritty paste. Whereas the detergent would not melt and even when dried would go wax like and when it came to mess ya just hit it with pressure cleaner and any grit or dirt would be washed clean.
With Teflon it comes in different colours for the different densities. We used white and red as these were the hardest and would not crush under 400ton ( 4 x pcs 200mm x 400mm x 25mm thick ). You can buy in sheets or square lengths an trim easily using circular saw.
Just a thought and may eliminate the grease issue.
Over an out.
Truck
-
Kool Idea will run it past Ray as he will be doing the refit i guess...yes greasy grit is what you get after a while...especially after dirt road adventures :(
Ray just loves working on the beddie..... ::)
Thanx heaps for the input Truck :D

That ambo looks like the one that was/is down here in Hamilton, was a sounds shop promo van but was a different colour. The dash makes me think it's the one, was talking to the guy about it when he was thinking of selling it, the dash is joined in the middle between the vents and if memory serves it was running a 350chev
-
Different, runs 202, the Guy had 2 for sale on TM a little while ago the other ran a 350, this seller is different from the other seller I think.

-
love the last two pics!
-
well have been thinking on what to do with the old Girl (bedford) as i have taken the camper off and put the tray back on as i use / need it more often now, (doing scrap steel runs). But i'm looking at making the camper a slide on slide off, just drop the 2 sides and back off slide on ontop of the deck fix down and off we go..
what thinks you all??
-
Mate i recon that is an awesome idea. You get 2 beddies for the price of one.
george.
-
The light blue one is one of the W.A boys van (Truck) ;)
-
yeah thats what my thinking was George. but i'm stuck with the jacking off and on at the moment?? just not sure how to go about it...
any ideas??
-
Mate that is simple, you can buy the jacks from a few different places, and just mount them in all 4 corners, and when you are ready to park the camper you just wind down the legs or ( electric ) the legs drop down, camper lifts enough to clear the chassis and you drive out. You have locking pins that clamp the camper to the tray when in use. How much a set up would be for manual or electric i'm not sure. But try some of the trailer places they carry different height legs, maybe some of the truck companies. But i would be interested in watching the progress if you go ahead with it. The other benefit is it gives your suspension a break when the camper is off the bedford.
george
-
good point.. i had heave duty shocks from pedders put in a few years ago & also had the rear springs re-set 3" higher for the weight.
the prob at the moment is cash flow... so need to look at something not too costly and easy to do.
David

Ok Ok enough chit chating here guys...more pics are the go ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
GUESS WHAT ??? ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
Another beddy turned up at the Rickshaw motor apprieation day on the foreshaw of lake Macquarie Swansea today ...yaaaahhh ! so good to meet a new van and its owners!
Who have also never heard of w.buga.com.au :o
Its was very interesting to find out Lee & Roberts, 1979 van, was originally owned by a plumber in tamworth , ours was from tamworth too , owned by an electritian. They had found a few small areas of rust, that Robert was able to sort out. They have not long came back from a trip to Perth with their car club! The van is pretty well stock too! So hopefull we will have another member for this page soon! Enjoy Lee's Pimped out interior! the little bottles of alcohol are sitting in a manifold with holes drilled in it..boy it got some comments today!

Hey David, have a look on ebay for your legs, depending on height, length and weight you can fit out your camper for under $400. Prices range from $35 each and up.

Mark Fishpool posted these pics of his awsome van!
I built this van in 1983. It has been stored away for nearly 20 years. I got it out of storage and checked it all over ready to put back on the road.
It needed the carburettors stripping and cleaning, new oil and filter. The brakes needed adjusting, but were not seized.
Now has an MOT and on the road again.

Prince Philip once used a green 1980 CF Electric van for transport around London and trips between Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. It was retired because of the inconvenience of charging, and it's quietness meant other drivers couldn't hear it come up behind them.
The Royal Bedford Van is currently garaged at their Sandringham estate.

The EV CF isn't as quiet as you imagine... you hear the whine of the electric motor, and the noise of the tires, wind, suspension rattles and brake squeaks...
-
Yep definitely a Bedford :)
-
Apparently the Royal Beddie is fitted out as a seven seater limousine and was in regular use for six years. Another article said the royals had two Lucas CF-E vans.

Sorry David, came up on Trade me, but only one picture, guy is selling parts off a Mk 1 Ambo, not this van, Car Jam say last reg a few years ago with standard motor?
Could ask on his auction if he has any, if it was his van, if he does, don't forget to post, as nice body work, you have to look twice to see it all.

Hey Bas, The trailer is very economical as there is no fuel. Hows your van coming along ? Hope you can make it next sunday.
-
Yea, just a joke Ray, as the fuel cap is still there, Yep see you and your van next Sunday. mines on hold for now, except for the odd drive around the block, as I have had to much work on, the good thing being is that I have all I need to finish it, so when the time comes it will be a quick job, hope to put October / November away for it and off to Germany mid December to mid January but back on it when I get Home, hope to have all mods done this summer and on the road....... :-\
Cheers Bas

One day maybe David, have 4 weeks in Germany at Christmas, so will edit them all to HD quality as some need a lot of noise reduction applied... and upload to www.customvangallery.com as there is only about 6000 Bedford photos at the moment
Any more work on your van? Bas
-
No van on the van yet, as soon as I got it down here I got some bug that's kept me out of action, will be 4 weeks on Monday.
I'm meant to be going to Auckland for a week on Sunday but at the moment can't even stand for 5 mins.
Hopefully soon can do some.
How's yours going ?

Not cool.
There are some pretty scary bugs out there.... and I am not talking about those German pollution cheats. (attempted humor)

Does anybody else watch Shaun the sheep? the ice cream van in the episode the other night looked like a Beddie
-
:D
-
....very similar to this one.
-
I found a couple of Shaun the Sheep episodes with the ice-cream van.
It certainly resembles a Beddie, dunno about the badge though.

My Beddy in its prime. She was rust free and my daily driver. One day the beddy fairy will drop in, CHIP FOOSE maybe, and get it back on the road.

John Evans posted this on facebook, had to share some history with you.
Picked this poster up at the van nats at Bathurst last year this was the first major air brush job that i did in 1973 i was still learning the craft at the time but i had no record of it other than a yellowed dog eard photograph .this beastie had a mid mounted big block and a tailshaft about 10 " long and went like buggery in a straight line but not to good around corners
It was owned by my boss and good mate Alan Hempel when i worked for Graf X international in Dandenong where i Built a car for the first Mad Max movie.

This ambulance would have been the most accessorised. It was based in Helensville back in its day and was always kept in pristine condition by the 2 x paramedics based there in the early 1980's.
Interestingly this Bedford is still registered and getting around today.

A very interesting collection and a great observation quoted by Dash Laver on these beloved bedfords.....
"Great thing about the Beddys is the variety of designs and individuality owners express. It clearly isnt like say kombis and peeps are too scared to play with their "investment," the Bedfords almost make you flick your creative on to GO :) "

Yeah there are so many different combinations on vans etc nowdays Wendy.
There isn't many stock vans at all left.
Most are modified in some way.
Be interesting to see how many stock ones are left?
Might be a good thread to start?
How many stock vans out there?
Members post up pictures of your stock van only.
-
And maybe another thread
Post up pictures of your modified vans?
-
Yeah sounds ok but there won't be many in the standard line up...as is totally stock standard, with no changes what so ever...with maybe exception to paint?....
-
Yeah its prob a waste of time as I recon they'd be lucky to be 2.
Haha

This is a sad post today....quoted from Dale Gordon Taylor on facebook...
The death of my first Bedford. At least it was sudden not a drawn out slow demise. Guy chose to ignore a stop sign and hit me square on at the back axle. She flipped straight onto the roof when the opposite side wheels dug into the road and spun like a top up the street. Didn't even break the side mirrors! No seatbelt on at the time but not a scratch on me. Surfboards had a couple of dings though. Insurance company wrote it off. Wondering if anyone here ever scored some parts off the old girl?
Nice to see the strength in all the a,b,c &d pillars , still holding strong :o
-
Sad Bedford pic . But those boots landed perfectly 10 out 10 ;D
As for a stock original Beddy , back in 2008 when l bought my van . I got some repairs from a
bloke in Brisbane , named Paul who fixed up vans, sold parts & was a certified Beddy Nut . He told me a
story about purchasing an original unmolested van off an old lady . So surprised to see one in
that condition , he had it vacuum sealed and placed in an undisclosed location for prosperity.
I believe him , I still have his contact details on my receipt . So if true . We have one , just need to
find the other .. Cheers Frank
-
Sounds like Paul Cahill. Mr. Bedford, top bloke! He built the LHD Scooby Doo Mystery Machine Beddie van for the first movie, and a second one for Movie World promotional work. (pic.) He said Warner Bros. shipped the movie van to the U.S. following filming and that it only had a Holden red 6 and drum brakes.
-
Your right Hobbit . It was Mr Paul Cahill , what a character . Let you wonder round
his property checking out his Beddy stockpiles , while he fixed your van . Out in the
boondocks forget the suburbs name , south of Brisbane city . He was a hero to many
Beddy owners in that city . As his prices were fair his work was good and best of all
always a laugh .........Cheers Frank
-
This van is up for sale in vic....
Found on a post in facebook..
This was quoted
" The van was built in Campbelltown NSW, Danny from Dannys fibreglass fabricated the whole van, i think he sold up after he sold the van and was told the Guy who owned Innocents grabbed all his moulds."

I made the cut :)
The red one you posted up further Wendy is he bought it when he was 15 (so probaby 20 plus years ago) he is very keen to get back into the scene after being dormant for a few year.
Its still pretty much the same now but the interior will be taken out and put in storage to make room for a back seat for family duties.

Hey Outriding, the post "Bedford CF factory photos - Australia 1971", those vans aren't "in" the production line as such, they are in the repair shed. Look at the second photo and you'll see the imperfections marked out, and they still do that today, but usually after.

Hey Wendy & Ray, I love that Jumbo. What a sensational idea.
Great pics too.
I dont want to sound insensitive, but that cream one looks like it might be for an amputee???? Not much room there for the left leg.
