Hi Team
I am happy to report I will be making fiberglass CF body parts here in Northland NZ very shortly.
After discussions with Barry, I have secured the ability to manufacture from his moulds and I will also be making a modifed version of his Mk1 nose for MK2 CF's.
I will also be doing flairs, side skirts, aerofoils and overtime developing some new items.
I have spoken with Ben in Ausi and in the near future I may be doing some reciprocal trading with Ben, which will allow us both to expand our product range.
I will also make one off items on a per job basis and for those of you who require it, I am able and happy to fit moulding's and finnish to any stage, basic fit and blended to painted turn key finnish.
I can also modify or repair any components you may already have.
If you have any questions, just shoot me a PM
Cheers
Rusty
As soon as I am able I will post photos
-
got any pics of the side skirts yet bro?
cheers
ben

No Sorry Ben I know they are in Hamilton, Im waiting for the guy to come back to me with pic's etc.
Im pushing him as hard as I dare too, but im looking at designing some of my own also, im just sussing out a workshop to lease right now.
As an aside, would S13 nissan Silvia drift style moulds be of interest to you, full body kit ??
I will keep you posted though.

along that lines...
has anyone ever measured or used another type of cars side skirt?? i notice that BMW's have the style im after, and im sure i saw a Commodore also with one...i thought maybe the distance between wheel arches might match another type of vehicle preferably sports...??
-

yeh id be interested in full body kit.
cheers

Hi Kirk
I hear what your saying about a more sporty side skirt, take some pics of the ones you like and send them to me, if im going to make side skirt moulds, we may as well make stuff people like and want.
As for using something designed for another vehicle, it does'nt usually work, for a start they wont be deep enough from top to bottom, you will likely have to alter the length and so on.
It is normally faster and cheaper to build a mould from scratch, and if you want to copy the styling you can just add that in as you build.
I will take another look at the black van in the nats pics, to see what your on about, id like to do some really funky flairs as well, but i have to make real life mock ups, as i suck as an artist when it comes to drawing.
If you want to get a look at the basic nose shape we are starting off with take a look at Bas's beddy, he has the nose.
I will be doing an altered version of this and a Mk2 version which im intending will sweep down from just below the Mk2 grill.
If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know it would be cool to have beddy owners have some input in to the body stylings.
If you want to do something radical and very secret squirrell, drop me a PM and we'll keep it hush hush.
Cheers
Rusty

hey man. not sure if you know or not but we dont have any cf2's over here..
cheers
ben
-
Aye, say what no CF2's, that cant be right, no 84 onward with the square front ?? :o :o
Similar to the 1980 facelift. :-\
Surley not, you must have some over there ?? ::)
-
No way Ben, no Mk2, well maybe we can export some to you guys.
-
Hey Bas we could send them all the MK2 rust, we'll be able to get more of that in the box.
The Ausi's are pretty sharp I recon they could build a few Mk2's out of it, no worries. ::) ::)
What do you think eh ;)
-
Na, just send them the ones we don't want. But I must say its good to have something they don't have, AND IT'S A BEDFORD ... MK2 ;D
-
course we got Mk 2s or a Mk 2 at least, take a look in Craigs gallery theres a beeeeuuuutee in Perth with a chev and very clean, I think it belongs to the guy who owned and built 'After 6' ... am I right Wombat?
-
Hay Eddie, that ones a import, the Guy that owns it might even be from New Zealand, so that doesen't count.
-
sorry kowo cuzin .... but all the beddies in NZ are all imports as well so it does count :P
-
woops that should read kiwi cuzin ... maybe I shuld turn the lites on in the sturdy ;D ;D
-
Na ,if you have more than one it does count, as you only have one it doesen't, after all they grow old here, rust out and die.
-
Nah Eddy they have to be sold NEW in the country to count, bloody Ausi, pinch our race horses, Pavlova, Crowded house, Russell Crow and goodness knows what else, hell's bells now ya want our Beddy's ::) ::) :o :D
Oh ok, well you can have one, but you have to promise to be a good boy and share it with the others ok...
-
Yep fair call ;D however .... DO ANY OZZIE VANNERS HAVE OR KNOW OF OR CAN PROVIDE A PICTURE OF ANOTHER MK 2 BEDDIE IN OZ? NO CHEATING BROTHERS IT MUST HAVE OZ REGO. WE CAN'T LET THESE KIWI CUZINS INTIMIDATE US WITH SUMTHING THEY RECKON WE DON'T HAVE MORE THAN ONE OF .......... oh by the way Baz, beddies grow old, rust out and die here as well just ask Ben and Chris they have graveyards filled with beddies in varying degrees of departure ;D ;D so if we get more than ONE Mk 2 in Oz does that make it even stevens?
-
hey silverado bro ....... what u talkin about :P .... ya only got to visit the Gold Coast to see its a CROWDED HOUSE full of Kiwi cuzins eating PAVLOVAS and CROWING about the RACE HORSES and goodness knows what else !!!!!! ;D
-
Anyway theres not enough beddies here to go around coz all the kiwis keep buying them ;D
-
this was the other dash that you used to be able to buy here with out any instruments
(http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z241/raisje/Image5.jpg)
-
Thats not too ugly eh, umm mazda steering wheel on what looks like the beddy shaft, interesting !!
I think one of the hardest things to scratch build and have it look really nice is a dash, thats why so many folks graft something from another vehicle in.
A dash has to flow, be functional and its also a major focal point, whats more it gets close scrutinty from the front seats.
It almost has to Asymetrical, yet not, as most of the time you dont want the left being a direct mirror of the right, its a tough one.
I like that dash using commodore components in the van show pics, he did a great job and its nicely proportioned, very snappy.
Well Eddy could be worse, could be all the Kiwis in Ausi buying up all the beddy's and taking them to the gold coast.
You come up with a second MK2 and il see if I can talk Bas around to calling it done eh.
-
flippen heck Rusty ... okay you guys win, I must be humble and accept defeat :'( I can't come up with another Mk 2. Im onto van number 13 and they've all been the very desirablke Mk 1's., my missus will have a hissy fit if I bought another one home, especially just to entertain myself on the net ::).
Lol ..... Of course not all the beddies that Kiwis buy here end up at the Gold Coast coz the Kiwis living up there will feel too much at home ;)
I'm a Kiwi too and all my vans started off in Melbourne to pastures greener across Oz but none to the Gold Coast. Now if I can get the tow van finished I'll drive the beddie up past the Gold Coast and wave out to all the Kiwi cuzins as we pass thru ......... :P ;D
-
Rusty, can you get a price list for all your parts please, have a few parts people are wanting and figured might be able to help you sell some bits.
Parts so far I am looking out for people are: swb body, bonnet (no scoop), rear doors, petrol tank and r/f sliding door
-
Hello Sunshine
Im still in Aucks so will drop a price list out to you, I have a spare gas tank, looks to be in good nick, but il chuck some meths in it and check it for leaks , to be sure.
$50 buck for the tank if it comes up ok, does that sound reasonable ??
The tanks still up in Keri so would have to bring it down next time i come which will be in around two weeks, from the end of this week, so that makes three weeks lol
Cheers
Rusty
-
3 weeks should be fine, I'll have to track him down again anyways
-

David
-
Rusty is selling fibreglass bits on there and I have a few bedford bits
-
hay Busy, What u got to get rid of in the way of parts?
-
just little stuff now, door catches, bonnet hinges, sunvisors, head light bezels, rear door windows, window regs, headlights, indcators, door handles, ign. cables - gas, choke and i think there might be a clutch cable there.
I've also got 3 steel mk 1 bonnets there but I haven't repaired them yet, all 3 need new front edges.
-
Hey Dave,
Drop me a PM with your contact details. I'd be keen to come over and have a look at the bits you have. I could be keen to increase my spares a bit and it's about time we caught up again.
Cheers,
Garry.
