Norwegian Wood was the first CFS I saw fully customised in the Californian style. It was running with the Castle Truckers out of Newcastle in the late 70's. It never got the recognition it deserved.

-
well ok ......today i went and had a look at this amazingly original beddy in almost new condition ...absolutly NO RUST AT ALL!
So for my top stock standard beddie goes to this green beddie in fairfield sydney and she is for sale on ebay in the commercial section finishes sat or sun or phone Greg 0411889187
will post more pics on weekend.
-
2nd on the list is mine ;D in all seriousness.... ::) i would put the green one in front of mine as it hasnt done much work at all....lived in a shed in mascot in most of its life ! like those Tourack tractors ...mine well shes done heaps of kms bouncing round the australian country dirt roads of tamworth & goodness knows where else.....
anyway so i will continue my list as i find more beddies worthy of top 10! the tiger one is another LOL ;)
-
aaannngggggggggg. He would have done himself a big favor had he painted the underside off the bonnet . its in the details.
if the underside off the bonnet is like that then the inside off the roof was or is similar.
-
nah the inside is all nice n green...theback inner gards r like that under the bonnet the hood lining is all orginal and so r the seats ..all the body seams are straight no rust specks or bblles anywhere gutters all clear...you would be hard going to find a beddie like that one... stock standard i mean ...
-
MM id hate to argue the point but metal curves don't selectivity rust , in the side on photo you can see the whole rear half off the van has been resprayed.
-
:) mind you if I had the dough ......
-

yeah well on the inside its all straight so goodness knows ...but i couldnt get a coat of new paint over every square inch of my van quick enough to preserve her another 36 yrs eh...
my thoughts exactlyif only i had a spare $12k as that what he is looking for...the $10k is the starting bid on ebay.
-

I forgot about Van000. I knew the bloke that actually built it, as opposed to those that claimed to. He was a Bedford fanatic and an incredible fiberglass guy that resided near Wyong. The last I heard of him was working at a Commodore wreckers in Sydney and he had lung problems from working with fiberglass. It was an incredible work of art that looked just as good in the flesh.
-
soooo what happened to van000 ???
-
soooo what happened to van000 ???
I saw it in a car yard at Gateshead, near Newcastle, many years ago looking tired but complete. They wanted a LOT of money for it. I was very tempted but couldn't raise the cash.
Rumour was that it was left parked in a back yard on the coast and the rust demon got it.
-
Tabu
-
tabo and van000 are amazing!
-
Don't forget Major Tom
-
Thanks for adding them Baz, so there you have my top 10, still waiting to see every one elses ??? ???
-
Saw Major Tom in Wagga on the side of the road about 22 years ago on the day i bought my xc van, never saw it again.

Not a fan of the side windows
-
It looks better in person
-
Don't have 10 but I will list the few I know,
1) woodie, and anyone that knows this van would agree that this is the best Bedford going round that's is not just all show, it is driven every day for work and every time it's seen it is spotless. I just don't have pics.
2) busy's van never seen it in person and probably never will but looks like it would be fantastic once finished.
3) heavy metal
4) cf jeff's van
5) our black van :)
6) and my old green van that ben now has
-
C'mon where is the pic's or they don't exist

Hey cool, Randy's black van from the 70's .... was drooling over it then and still drooling ;D
-
thanks for the vote of confidence guys. The main reason it is taking so long (apart from lack of time and money) is the fact there is no plan, I'm just making it up as I go. As for when it will be finished? bodywise just have the front to finish (screen section, firewall and bonnet) and thats it, no more changes, well maybe one, I might have to shorten the front spoiler a bit, but thats it, no more!! rest of work will be on driveline and interior
not related to the above van but when I saw this is kinda reminded me of that - in a no relation way :p
and that heavy metal was awesome with the old mags, those new style mags ruin it I reckon
