Hi there.....my name is Kim McCutcheon and was a member of the Sunrunners Van Club in the late Eighties. I have had 3 Bedfords vans in total including the one in the recent
post called [related].....I sold my last bedford in 2005 but still look at EBay quite often spying for a potential project. [I am really keen to find a CF truck] I now live in Albany and
race go karts with my youngest son and run the Albany Blues Club as well as play in the House Band. ......below are 3 before and after shots of my bedfords i have owned over time

Hi Brian.....good to catch up....do you still have a beddy.....last time i saw you, you had just bought a LWB Rust bucket and spent lots of time getting it up to scratch. I think you painted it a light silver blue.....it's only money!!!!!
-
Thanks Ben....i will look it up..........does anyone know what happened to my black beddy with the 400 small block? I heard it got written off on a club run but not sure if it's true?

And i recall having a busted knee at the same time.....i have some more photos of the engine build i will post soon. I have to take photos of photos.....the quality is not too good.......i also have an admission to make........i recently sold a van that i used for karting PA gear around in.....but i out grew it and needed something bigger.....i then sold most of the gear along with the little truck......but have a look at the van i had......yes it was Japanese, had all the things you want on a beddy.....lift up rear door.....sliding side door, air con, power steering.....was a diesel with 5 speed that cruised on 130kph......still it had to go as well.......see below.....

Hey kimmee, no, no van at the moment. :-[
Will have one soon I hope prolly early in new year when I will be out of debt.
Got my heart set on another pick up ex USA then a van.
Gunna try to plan on the van nationals next year, and experience tells me a van at the van nats is a lot more fun than a rental car. ::)
Anyways let us know when your up next and we can hook up with craig,dano and myself and swap old storys,lies and scotch. :D
cheers Brian ;D
