There are 2 beddies i see regularly.

1/ A house painted hippie van in Footscray area ive taken several pics...on my old camera phone:) lol

2/ A fairly nice semi-custom van called "Deja Voodu" (voodu maybe different spelling, always see it near the markets on Franklin street. Havnt taken any pics, cause usually someone is in it, or im driving past it.

3/ A goldy brown coloured van, very nice, and again semi-custom, again Franklin street in Melb. but only have seen it 2-5 times, over the years.

Nice one guys. We used to have a lot of beddies in my area back in the 90s, i still see a few guys around. I remember in 98 i was working security one night at my local shopping centre, and i came round the corner of this shop, looked towards the driveway, and here is this beddy, i walked over to him, and he was under the front, he had broken a tierod . He asked me to guard his van while he zipped home to get a replacement, i spent a large part of my shift watching him do a benny in the carpark.  Few hrs later he was done and away.

Hi Marky,
only saw it on the road but it seemed to be OK looking along the sides.  Did you see that a Beddy camper burnt down in Uki recently?  It'd be good to have a few more locals and maybe we can have an AGM to discuss our projects and headaches face to face.

george

Because the original post for the fibreglass bits went way off topic (like this one just did  :-[ ) and there was more crap in it than fibreglass bits if you take my meaning. I think it was Warren who tidied it up bless his cotton socks. Now it's just for Ben to advertise his product and if you want a discussion you start another thread or PM him.

MMMM that illusive green beddy, will it ever be solved. Maybe underbelly will do a show on it, my guess though, just a guess, i recon that a developer somewhere will empty a dam and bingo, one rusty beddy and 2 skeletons. Its jimmy hoffa, dale flannery, mr renta kill all over again. ah mysteries.

I'm eating a soft-serve cone as I'm writing this.

Our ice cream van is usually the old Transit, it's not often we see the Beddo out and about.

Another local bloke has a white LWB, so there's four of 'em in town now, that I'm aware of.

Erp!!! :D

Ok Ok ok ..... i found another bedford today!  :D
 Today i was near Toronto, Lake Macquarie and I pulled into this driveway and low and behold there was another beddy!
And even more exciting the owner Theo was nearby. Theo had never heard of buga so im hoping we will have another member from NSW! YEAH!!!!
its a 1973 model pretty stock standard with a little rust starting to come thur in usual places, yet Theo has plans to pull her off the road and and give her a once over.
enjoy the pics  8)

Title: Re: Beddie Spotto
Post by: tiwaz_nz on February 01, 2013, 05:53:07 PM
its a 73 ??
has a newer style bonnet (no vents on top
heater control is the newer style
and the door card and handles are the later style ...
 so if a 73 someone has put a bit of work into it at some point
or maybe the ozie bedfords are different  ???
Title: Re: Beddie Spotto
Post by: wendyh on February 01, 2013, 07:03:46 PM

Title: Re: Beddie Spotto
Post by: Hobbit on February 02, 2013, 02:06:36 PM
Those later style heater controls suggest it's one of the last Mk1 models. '79 - '80 is my guess.

Spotted this camper at the local Woolies today. It is a converted ex-ambulance with QLD plates.
Pretty rare to see a 1980 'Facelift' here in Aus., a first for me anyhow.

The lady owner said it had been brought over from NZ, and she had just traveled here from SA.
She wasn't aware of BUGA 'til now either. It was good chance to see that parcel shelf / dash
setup for myself.

Spotto a beddy in a video posted by australian car events page on face book
it was in a night  time car club run called the Yarra Valley Chrome Bumpers

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152233540962054&set=vb.730797053&type=2&theater (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10152233540962054&set=vb.730797053&type=2&theater)

Ok OK  ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

i will fess up...it was my beddy   ;D ;D ;D ;D but i was surprised as we didnt know it was being videoed !

Ray bided on some cheap rims that we were looking at for the beddy ...no one else bided so we won ...
THEY WERE IN SOMMERVILLE  IN MELBOURNE   :o :o :o :o

so we had popped down there on the weekend ...we also wanted to give the new modified EFI manifold and new variable venturi a good run...she went fantastic ! fuel consumption on LPG went down from 23 litres per 100km to 17.5 litres...and heaps more responsive at the accelerator pedal...Couldn't be happier with the old girl!  :D :D :D :D

soooo tonight surfing face book and i found this video of the cruise...these guys meet on a friday night round 7-8 pm... easy 200 cars in a bunnings car park...the rural fire brigade is there with a sausage sizzle.. .. then around 9 pm they draw a raffle and then hit the road for a 30 min cruise to a huge BP servo that has a macas with a big car park...we thought it was a fantastic way to spend an evening in your favorite car with other car enthusiast
enjoy the roll up of chrome bumpers

What a day today was, shit weather but saw two beddies today, I'll have to learn how to post the pics
One was a jumbo, it's a part of grey army, pulled up next to him, I didn't manage a full side on pic as I was driving... And he was looking at me, I didn't want to appear a weirdo
Other was a white swb cf parked out front of a motor mechanic, outside looked fairly stock

Hey good work gunning...to ad pics is easy.

when you click on reply ...theres the white box for typing in....under the white box off to the left a bit is a little white arrow additional options.
click on that ...then three lines come up ..under that it says Attach: choose File ( in box) then  no file chosen 
click on choose file and it takes you to your documents and pictures on your computer....
for more pics you can click on more attachments in blue up to 5 times. then click pots or preview.
then your done ...easy !
hope that helps as its always good to see spotto pics  :D
hey it took me a while to get my head around adding pics here...even longer to put pics in albums in the gallery  :o
the techies have to dumb things down heaps i reckon so us laypeople can do things easier in their world.
like add pic here button is the go i reckon...please no offence to the guys who run this site my admiraton and praises go out to them TOTALLY  ;) but to us no techies its another new language to understand and get our heads around.

Meant to tell you that we spotted Grunta's custom van last Sunday. It was on a trailer heading south out of Auckland. The back of the van is so wide that they had fitted standard rims to get it to fit on the trailer. Didn't have enough time to grab a photo as we were heading in the opposite direction.

Took a cruise out to Gulf Harbor yesterday and spotted this cool old Bedford house truck parked up amongst the more modern self contained campers. Got chatting to the lady owner who told me that it is still all original Bedford running gear apart from a Holden carbie that was fitted a few years back.

the black beddy was spotted in south Grafton...another slider too!
We also passed a red/marone swb van and a Biddy trayback on the same road different days. road was between woodburn and lismore on the north coast of nsw.

"Australian Story" on the laylend brothers
its about 15.20 mins

http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/australian-story/NC1556Q003S00

probably most of us have grown up with the laylend bros and remember them well
so sit back and watch this 30 min step back in time...and keep your eyes peeled for the beddy.
Enjoy

I often drive the 1.5 hours from home to my parents place to sneak in some work on my van, this trip coming home I spotted a Bedford going the other way - woohoo, well 2 actually

I was driving home and saw all these hot rods coming the other way (they going to Auckland), thought hmm must be a hot rod cruise or something, then remembered the beach hop was on this weekend. Anyways, saw all these rods and classic and thought just need a CF to complete it, next corner what do I see, a nice light yellow Bedford - Gordon's van.
Then about 20 k's down the road saw a CF camper

Sorry no pictures

Post by: Gordon on April 01, 2015, 03:33:07 PM
Ok, so now that Garry has made me feel guilty about the Nats, I'll share a few pics from Beach Hop as penance  :)

Eric's old brown CF is also a regular at The Hop so I didn't take any more pictures of it, but there was a really good looking ambo conversion as well as the green CF1 with the black stripes that was on TradeMe a while back. Also of interest was an old Morris van that I have seen around Auckland before, a neat looking yellow Thames panel van and a bagged Commer that unfortunately got green stickered on Friday night by the local constabulary.

OK  These spoto's come and go.
Question - How many "living" Bedfords are there in Perth. ie over the pits, licensed and ready  to go, does any one have some kind of register?
We've spoken about a run up to Yanchep for  months now  - I think its time we started to pencil in a date, maybe the first day of spring and there after no excuses.
Any takers?

This was spotted in Mission Bay, Auckland yesterday. Awesome looking van with plenty of mods both inside and out by the look of it. Totally unknown in the local vanning scene so if any of you NZ Bugga's can shed any light on it or the owner let me know.

Cheers,

Thanks for the comments!  :)
Its great to hear any kind of feedback!
And yeah cheers Bullstik, i think its just a setting change on your phone.
Im going to finish it off with some pinstripes or a decent decal, the white is good and ended up looking a lot better than i thought with the tinted windows, but theres something missing.
Currently having a go at the interior as well . Did have sink/stove/cupboards etc but completely gutted her. Now have a lot of extra space to work with and with having the bed "up stairs" im hoping to really get some life back into her!

Local van spotted while walking dog - owned by an old Italian bloke. He's had it 40 years! 253 v8 / auto. It's actually pretty straight apart from the rust. Not for sale -'gunna fix her up one day'.

   Good find Zeeman . I saw that van the other day for the first time in a couple years .

   Never seen it moved . Hard to find in those backstreets of light industry factories with

   only a few houses in-between scattered them .

   Thanks Frank
