One of my mates is an engineer and owns his own workshop specialising in automotive modifications. I was thinking about asking him if he would mind opening up one Saturday so us Bedford owners could meet up there. People could use the opportunity to ask questions about modifications they want done.
Would anyone be interested?
-
Shane, Kath and I live in Deception Bay, and we see on the Dual Battery post that there are a number of other Brisbane beddie owners, so we put a reply on there as well. I know of another beddie owner up this way that would probably also be interested in a get together.
So probably catch up soon.

hi julian.. arron here i could get a few guys together it would be a great idea if we could get the numbers up there has to be alot more vans in brisbane come on people.......
-
Hey Arron, We are always up for a cruise and grog (oops) meet up ;D Thats the only time Julian gets to drive my van ;) as he doesnt do the drink bit :( We know another Beddie owner in Sunstate that would also be interested in coming along.
-
Sounds good. Hopefully a few more people reply here and I'll speak to my engineering mate.
-
i wouldnt mind meeting up with you all. My bedford isnt on the road yet, just some bits to be fixed first.
ShaneJ can your mate make body parts and do welding as i need all the area replaced above the windshield and gutters
-
Yes mate he can do metal fabrication and repairs. My van is currently at the workshop getting some body work done as we speak. I'll be heading over there tomorrow to do some sanding on it so I'll get some pictures of before and after.
-
Some picture would be great ShaneJ. We definately have some body mods that we want done, so meeting somebody in the know would be a great help. As well as meeting up with some other Beddies.
We'll be up for it, it's only a few hours away for us.
-
No worries mate. I did a bit of work on the old girl today removing a lot of bog so I'll get them busy soon shaping the metal again.
-
when is it a good time to get together, i'd like to meet your mate shaneJ, cause i've got some work needs doing soon :)

Hi Brissy people, Just a start, what about the weekend of 11 and 12th October, Pelican park at Clontarf, Hornybrook Esplanard. Pick a day, what suits most. There are BBQ facilities, fish and chip shop across the road. No guarantee of the weather at this stage. Open to suggestions.
Julian
-
Sounds good to me mate. I'm not busy that weekend which is a bonus ;D
-
Hi Shane, now that we have 2 people interested I had better mark that weekend on the calender ::) ;D. Wait for some more replies and work out a time, might work on the Sunday for lunch time, see what the responce is.
Julian
-
cool guys, i think i can make it :)
-
yeah guys ill mark that on the calender.......
-
I am up for a get together but I will be in WA on holidays until the 22 Oct which is a shame as I live about 400m from Pelican park see you at the next get together
Joe
-
Hi Joe, Sorry about the date for 1st meet up. There was a bit of talk about a meet up, so i thought I would get the ball rolling and as we had that weekend free, I made the suggestion. Now having said that , make another suggestion start at 11am on Sunday 11th October,
if thats ok with everyone see you all then. :) If not let me know or put ideas on here.
Julian
-
Ok everyone, CHANGE OF DATE Brissy meetup. As Joe will be on holiday in WA on the 11th October. Will 2 weeks later make any difference to the meetup. ??? I made the date I guess I can change it. ;D Do we have any problems with changing it to the 26th October, same time same place. That way we also have an extra member to talk too. If thats no good for anyone, say so and give some alternatives, otherwise see you all on the 26th October.
Julian
-
I'll be out of town from the 18th of October till the 2nd of November.
Also away from the 15th till the 26th of November.

gday guys hows it? so we rocked up to brissy, or just north to deception bay to a friends house. as you do a jumped on her computer and straight onto the buga site, and i was just browsing checking out the latest posts, and i saw the brissy get together post saying they were going to meet on sunday the 26th. i had no idea what the date was but soon found out that it was that day!! so off jules and i went, it was just 20 mins down the road, and met the crew. it was great to meet Kath and Julian, phil and bullstik, (sorry dude forgot your name was it shane?!) i loved the interiors of these vans they were soo cool, and they were all saying how easy all their mods were!! yeah right! definitely gives you the inspiration to do a bit more on your own thats for sure.. so anyway thanks heaps to you guys for your hospitality and hopefully see yous again at geelong next easter...
take it easy. westy

Hi guys sorry to be the last to put something on about the first run. New video/stills camera still trying to work out how to get the pics off it. But you have the pics on here already. Anyway, rock up to Pelican Park with Phil and his beddie , just to find out that the vw club is having a hugh combi van meeting, had trouble finding a parking space. Found a spot, had some people looking at our vans, some telling the usual stories I used to own one of these had it all decked out. Shane and Shobna arrived,(bullstik) and then Luke and Julie (westy12) rocked up on their way around the country. In between having some lunch we had a look at each others vans and had a good chat about what you can do to your van and how to do it. (easy just need the confidence to have a go). The girls also got invovled in the conversations about the vans. A good time was had by all, and hopefully we might see Luke and Julie at the Van Nats in Geelong next Easter.
