Thanks Eddy have spent a lot of the last 4 years rebuilding/ recustomising the the old beddy, thought about buying another stock beddy and starting again but thought why not re customise the one I built back in 1990, I already know the history of the running gear. I assume you have checked out the pics I have posted on the gallery section of this site, will add more when I get time to scan them from the photos in my album.

 Mike would be cool to make your aquantence, because no doubt you also love crusing around with with local van nuts creating a visual spectacle where ever we go. Always looks good when you get a set of customised beddys crusing around together.

 And Kirk yes you should move to NZ as there is a growing resurgence of bedfords over here, lol

 Cheers Jeff
