Hi guys
A sad decision but I am selling my Beddy already :( I've come to realise over the past couple of months that I will NEVER find the time to get done to her what I want...
Our new house is soaking up whatever spare time and $ I seem to come by, so I am planning to spend a couple of years getting on top of the house stuff, and then look at a Beddy project again after that. There's just no point her sitting around getting no love for a few years - so hoping some one with time to attend to her needs picks her up!
Couple of pics

Specs:
- 1977 Bedford CF short wheel base, licensed through to Feb 09 (recently painted but needs some rust work done)
- Holden 253 V8 (approved and noted on rego papers)
- Trimatic gearbox
- Ford 9" diff
- HZ front disc brake conversion
- Brand new Holley 450 carb
- Brand new K&N air filter
- Pacemaker extractors
- New exhaust
- New Pedders polyurethane bushes
- Transmission oil cooler
- New Delco-remy High Energy Ignition distributor

- New brake master cylinder

Plus you also get a second unregistered Beddy (SWB Camper)... which seems to have good panels where the main beddy has bits of rust - so between the two a rust free beddy was the plan :)

That's sad to hear Adam.
That's a damm good asking price though. I'd be wanting double that if I were to sell mine and mine is stock standard ???
-
Tough call Adam, but maybe some good could come out of it. How about some sort of deal with Pickmeup, the beddy goes to a good home, Pickmeup gets a pickup and no one gets f***ed up :D

I'm waiting for the word to start work again in W.A if soon enough i'm in!!

I have thought about selling my bedford once and I couldn't do it, I sold a motorbike and another car instead.
When it comes down to it - you gotta do what you gotta do, hopefully you will sell it without hassle and when
you can put the time into one again - hopefully you will find one without too much hassle.
I feel for you mate, hard thing having to sell the bigdog...

Hey Adam....Bit of a bummer mate but at least you are getting your foot in the door on the property market.You have to think long term ,but i bet you will still keep an eye out for another beddie down the track. Best of luck .. cheers...John Abbott. ;D ;D

How bout Maria she has also been chasing one?
........Hmmmmmm $3200 I wander what Lou would say if I sold her Commodor?.......... She'd probably through in the back of the Beddy and have her wicked way with me! Shame the commodor is only worth about $500 :'(

Craig the "Thread Hijacker" lol :D :D :D
-
Its called redirecting the competition! ;D ;) :P
-
It could be a delay tactic to allow compition to gather their resorces so they can start a bidding war over your van adam S :o ;)
I know that I'd be up for it if the resorces were available! :'(
-
Still for sale, and forgot to list that it also comes with a new door seal kit that I havent fitted yet... so theres another couple hundred dollars worth! :)
Also in the back of the van are spares including the front and rear bumpers, and spare holley, etc...
but wait... theres more - I'll even throw in the rear swivel bench seats (including seat belts and brackets etc) that I paid $400 for and had up for sale as well, for free! :o
-
