G'day
I have been on the road all week and saw this on ebay:
1979 CF BEDFORD CAMPER VAN, LPG / PETROL, ANNEXE UHF CB
Item number: 250445520590
I rang him and he said that he sold it to the first offer over $3000.
I was too late.
Looks like a bargain to me.
So who got it?
-
looked like a good setup, had everything you would ever need to go away in
-
that would be me ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
G'day
Good to hear.
It sounds like you got a bargain.
I found a CFL that has been stripped of good bits and needs a LOT of work. He wants $1200 for it.
-
yeah, iḿ rapt.
iĺl let you know more once i´ve got to know her
(you know what a new relationship is like)

You mean you're going to bang it several times a day for the first 2 weeks and then start eyeing off another?
-
:D :D :o

hey guys
i have a 1977 Bedford cf lwb for sale
So are you going to buy this one as well?
-
no. i just want one.....
just got back si i'll post some picks soon.
i hate it when people say 'no rust' or 'almost no rust' >:(
bought time i bought a mig
Will be selling the cute little SAAS sports wheel -bronze colour on ebay soon, and the 'custom dash', and the anex, and........
-
Worzel, I'll take the sports wheel off you.
-
itś up on ebay,
make me an offer if you want, or make a bid....
itś hard to know which is better for you, sometimes no-one bids,
personally, i can see the point of that tiny little wheel, check out the XF falcon wheel ( i think itś XF, might not be ???)
-
and the good news is i found $1.20 under the seat.
Will that buy me a mig?

the seats,sink,table,bed,cupboards are on their way to the tip.
the jerry cans are on ebay, the CB next
-
yikes :o ..... at least the steps are good
-
lol, the steps have been repaired.
I'm just glad that i didn't know that the seatbelt anchor and seat bolts had rusted out while i was driving home.
I have a freind who is gonna get me welding (as opposed to 'blobbing' which is what i usually do),
just gonna take a while.
Really do wish someone had replaced the windscreen rubber about 8 years ago :D
-
G'day
So is it still a bargain or what?
-
hmmmmmmmmmm
No, not a bargain, but i'm not totally gutted.
i doubt i've found it all , but i hope i've found the worst.
Around the windscreen is gonna be interesting, i'm starting to notice the lack of grace as it curves around the window
I've seen much worse, but the respray was definitely on the dodgy side (paint over silicone in the rust holes)
All the camping stuff is pretty average.....
the drive home (900km) was good
All in all, it will be a while before it is back on the road, and i'm sure my mood will swing wildly as it goes on (and on)
-
Best of luck to you Worzel. I certainly wouldn't take it on. It's when I see that that I'm really glad I've hung on to mine. Bought mine almost 20 years ago now when I was still looking at moving out of home. Started off with a hiss and a roar and then kind of spluttered as I was flatting and it made it really hard to take a van apart as you didn't know if you were going to be out on your ear the following week. Still languished after I bought my house and it's only been within the last couple of years I've got the bug back.
Sometimes it's been like a noose around my neck but I'm really glad now I kept it all those years. My little repair spots are nothing compared to that. Learning to weld is the best thing you can do I reckon and that's what has rekindled my interest.
You go Worzel!!!
-
Any beddie that will travel 900km to get home has got to have something going for it !!! Start welding Worzel :D It will only improve with practice and why not use this camper as a starting point? ;) Go for it!!!!! ;D
-
hey worzel, sorry to hear about your troubles. I just got your PM sorry for the late reply mate Ive been away a lot this last month or so
im home now for 2 weeks and then on the road again.
parking it on the lawn would have been no problem
sorry mate
-
thanks mate,
ah well, i did walk straight into this one,
and it does have a few things going for it.
-
im feeling bloody lucky picking mine up for $800 after viewing those pics!
i have a bit or rust where the seat box sat on the passenger side but nothing like that....
really speaking though its a straight cut and patch job by the look of it with no bends so even with my limited skills i would no be to scared to take it on.
one thing i learned from this site is anything can be fixed and made to look better then original with the right attitude and the right advice.
now if anyone can do something about the two months rain in geelong so i can bog and spray again im listening ;D im getting a guilt complex.
-
yeah, i paid way too much for what it turned out to be, but i can't wait to get started.
i just hope i don't find too much more
