I have owned this van since mid 2006 & have used it mainly for transporting music gear back & forth from gigs. When not in use, it has been living in the shed, safe from the weather. I've completely redone the interior + some minor work on the body. Every sign of rust has been rust-converted & should no longer be a problem. But to be expected, there's the odd small rust spot under the car which can easily be treated further, if need be. There's no Major dents, or scratches. All the doors are nice & snug, no rattles. I've also built in a rear storage space (with 2 rising doors). The next best thing would be the megaphone someone concealed underneath the front end, which is connected to a amp & mic inside. Has always been a bit of fun & the van's highlight for my mates! =P
Just had a mechanic look over the van and he confirmed it's in good working order. He also mentioned that it wasn't the standard motor (which was a 4 cylinder) but has been replaced with the 6 cylinder Holden Red which he confirmed is a great engine (a lot better than the standard)!
In regards to price, it's valued at around $3500

Hi everyone,
I didn't realize the ol' Beddy would get this much interest on it's first day in cyberspace!
As you may have noticed; she's just found a new home though ebay, earlier on today.
Sure will be missed!
Thanks for checking out the post!
Cheers, Josh

Hey Hoppie....Is she gonna stay in W.A or is she going east? :)
-
or is it going west.. into the ocean..
-
Go easy Ben, it looks a lot better than mine even with the pop rivets.
-
sorry was just being silly.. didnt mean anything by that..
-
whoa !!!!!!! now just you hold your steeple jumping horses !!!!!!!!
Ben my liddle beddie bro used to refer to me as being the king of pop rivets so it is a personal interest of mine (and a favour) that another beddie brother takes the pop rivet mantle from me !!!!! ;D ;D ... don't be insulted by the term used ... into the ocean .... coz i can vouch that all the vans I have owned excepting the camper appear to have spent some time IN the ocean given the amount of rust I have found over the years ...... cheer up boyz, lifes too short to bicker over our shared passion ..... stay cool ,,,, love life and your mum coz you only get one ;D
-
Words of wisdom there! :D ;D
-
Gee, my van is full of pot rivets, the only difference being you can't see them. What better way to hold those fibreglass parts on before you glass them on for good.
-
I wish my van had enough steel to put pop rivets in to.
I just screwed the lower door frames at the side and rear to the floor with shelving brackets, so she wont rattle to bits on the trip back up north to Kerikeri and maybe the rear doors will stay shut lol ::) :P
Oh its going to be a fun trip, thank goodness it has a CD player eh

Ben
You can now critisize the van as much as you like, I believe it is leaving WA and is on its way to Vic.
It was a crap van anyway so I dont mind. (no sour grapes here)

Why is it a crap van? My mate builds comp 4wds for a living and will be able to fix any issues. Already got plans for the pop riveted ex windows.
-
he said it was a crap van because it was leaving his state.. and he was cut as!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dont worry it is a lot better than a lot of bedfords on the road. inc mine lol

Thanks Ben! ;D
Oh and soon as the beddy gets here ill be ordering some fibreglass bits and peices from you! :)
-

Ben was right it was a joke, the van it fine it is much better than mine, I was just joking because I was dissapointed it is leaving WA, and my joke was probably in poor taste, I reckon you got a bargain.
There should be a law to stop people east of the border removing our vans or at least charge an expot tax, I am sure the state government will introduce it soon but I am still waiting. By the way I am happy for vans to come west as mine did.
cheers Dave
