mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I bet they dont have the regulations for roadworthy's that we have. You could'nt drive them on the road, other motorists around you would be crashing while rubber neck'in  ;) Not for me, but i applaud the designers/builders for their imagination, and empty bank accounts.   ;D ;D ;D

I remember a while ago while searching the net for bedford pics, I found some build up pictures of this style done to a bedford van. sorry didnt save the pictures nor remember where it was, just remember it was blue before they started.

I love the gull-wing doors on this van, straight from the delorean, great replicas, a lot of work to build the doors, and then to get them to fit like factory ones is awesome. Love the color and graffics, nicely done. Are there any pics of the interior, i hope they went to the same efford. The one let down on the whole van is the front, and grill, so plain, and something i have seen on a few vans, must of run out of steam and ideas.

Post by: Bas NZ on March 11, 2011, 12:39:51 PM
Sorry don't have any of the inside at the moment, but a couple more of the panel work, and a close up of the door for George:  ;)

Remember the van started out as blue, look at the last photo, how much of the side is still BLUE...............
Title: Re: Say "WHAT"
Post by: Bas NZ on March 11, 2011, 12:59:01 PM
Ok George, just for you, as you like gullwing Girls, sorry doors so much..............
Title: Re: Say "WHAT"
Post by: Bedfordcrazy on March 11, 2011, 02:07:21 PM
Hey Bas, it is a nice van, a massive amount of work gone into it, is this a current van that is running round, or is it an old van.
Correct me if i am wrong, but the amount of work gone into this van, sort of reminds me of another that is being built as we speak, MMMM now who was it, mmmm oh yeh, that busy little kiwi, i recon the custom work comes close to what busy is doing on his. Actually bas i dont mind a gull-winged girl.  ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

george. ;D
Title: Re: Say "WHAT"
Post by: Bas NZ on March 11, 2011, 08:54:18 PM

Not as radical, but still nice, i like what looks like the grill going down to the spoiler, paint sets it off.

Post by: hotrod on March 12, 2011, 05:22:32 PM

I applaude them in their imagination, and skill, but i would'nt do it, for me they are boardering on not being reconisable as a beddy. I agree they would suite the new mad max 4 movie. hint hint.  ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

David, there is a toyota van that runs around Henderson for a couple of years now, full kit like in these photos, the body has remained purrrrrrrrrrrrfect, no cracks rust etc, like new, so they seem to do a good job...........

Suppose it depends on whether they are done in fibreglass or steel, fully welded steel would last forever.
