Well from what I hear on here about all the over heating problems there in Oz I guess you should all change to TABU'S Holden Statesman type gril, I guess it would be problem sold. I like the standard type van wide feet and a 8 under the hood!. And it helps if its a Mk 1 Beddie, O yes must not forget the sunroof and lake pipes......................

hey bro, you are a gem ..... what I am interested in is where the majority of votes are going cause that is an indication of what is ultimately desirable in customizing the beddie van, I note that they are all swb and are dark coloured and have wide wheels and the diamond tuck panelling seems to win votes, I also note that none have over the top radical customizing and maintain the basic beddie look incluisve of course, bumperettes, flares and air dams, the Ford square headlight modification is as popular as the original chromed grill,  looks like barn doors are as popular as one piece lift up rear and every van has kept the side door   hmmmm ..... food for thought, haven't voted yet I have to meet with my beddie design team before making a preference .... ooohh you are so naughty

I cant go past an original front end, the Bedford designers got it perfect, I can see a front scoop looking good on the right van but dont need any more front mods.  so it is Saturn Brown or Red for me.  I also prefer the original barn and side doors
But I like the flares and wider wheels on the others

For many years in the 80's I customized Bedfords and dare I say Transits, in NZ for Germini Plastics, The body moods where getting wild back then, some got it right and some, well some really got things wrong. But been around all these vans day in day out, as soon a a beddie rolled in colse to standard with a nice wide set of fllares and wide feet that just rolled out past the flares would make my ticker miss a beat The Bedford is great in design it would be hard to beat but they tapper in a little to much at the bottom, make this area wider as stated above and in my eyes it's unbeatable. O' yes I like the one peace back door it moulds in with the side panels of the van.
