Title: Rays 76 CF doormobile poptop camper
Post by: RAY on August 09, 2008, 12:17:16 PM

gday

heres some pics of my beddy 8)
picked it up for $1500, which i thought was a bargain - i had to have ;D
especially as it has very little/no rust

its running a 202 red/5spd, & all the other camper mod cons - inc a 3way fridge & sink
as far as i can tell its pretty much original, except for a bit of a custom dash & sunralaysia wheels

plans are to refurbish the interior, new cabinets, fridge, back seat/bed, floor/carpet etc
& repair poptop canvas & vents, chrome bumpers,etc
im also fitting 96-00 tr@#$it seats upfront, like the idea of a duel pass. seat ;)
& eventually lpg conversion, cd/mp3/tv etc

& then...........

DRIVE THE WHEELS OFF IT 8) 8)

hey guys

will keep ya's all up2date with the progress

yea ben, rego laws are very different here in s.a.
we dont have pink/blue/green slips? here

eg: my beddy, purchased from nsw - sitting in a shed unregoed since 02
all i needed for rego was an i.d. inspection report - which states its that car eng#/chassis# etc
& a quick visual insp, in which they pulled me up on the sports s/wheel >:(
now that its passed (thanx again ben) ;)
i have to go to the rego oriface, with my report...purchase some s.a. plates & rego it for 3/6 or 12months ;D

a mate here in s.a. once purchased an ek panelvan, that hadnt been regoed in 20 odd years :o
when he approached the rego office, & asked what he had to do for rego???
they said, we can rego it now for you
he couldnt get his money out quick enough :D
little did they know the van was undergoing a 3in chop top 8) 8)

the seat in the pic was dummy fitted b4 inspection ;)
as you can see ill have to mod the g/stick

basically you can pretty much do what you want to your car (within reason)
but if you get pulled over & defected
it will then have to go over the pits (regency pk) & theyll go over it with a fine tooth comb
