Title: New member from New Zealand
Post by: Clive on May 28, 2011, 05:07:37 AM: Hi everyone

My name is Clive,I'm a 30 yr old dad of 5 kids,welder by trade making street lighting for new zealand,Hobbies include camping,r/c model power boats & fish keeping (aquarium's),i enjoy working on car's,modifying them fixing other peoples rides,enjoy road trip's with the family.

A few years a go i owned a 79 bedford cab,chassis with a camper unit on the back,had a lot of fun in it till it got written off in a accident,since then i always wanted other one,

So I've bitten the billet & on the hunt for a cab chassis unit.i really want the facelift model but will settle for the bullnose if i have no luck,I know I'm looking for a needle in a hay stack,but not going to give up.main reason for another bedford is for our weekend business that me an the misses have started,wanting a good tow wagon,and to advertise ourselves,everyone in NZ loves the old school.I have some mean ideas on the brain for mods an can't wait.

well that's me in a nut shell.
