Hi There all Bedford Van Fans!!

Though we would never own another van due to finding one without rust .....untill we found one on ebay that had spent all its life out in tamworth. The guy said it had no rust ! yeah right! Hey!! We hit jack pot it had virtaully no rust!?!? ..yet there is always goon n bad news..... we found damage to th front left hand chasis ...Rays been a mechanic all his working life, with welding a handy skill, we decided we could take on this van for a full resto ! were not doing it to show stardard just everyday work horse...n the budget wont allow it either...were trying to keeping the van as standard as we can yet modifying brakes, gear box, diff,back door, seats & belts etc so its very practicle....so A BIG thanxgoes to the guys who runthis site! Its great to have such a pool of beddy knowledge here...love checkin out all the pics too!. So anyone in the Lake Macquarie, Newcastle area love to hear from you...maybe should organise a get together sometime...any takers out thr?
