Title: gday from wollongong,
Post by: MAV on August 26, 2013, 04:08:14 PM

Gday all,thought I'd register here to get some tips and info.
Just bought a black Bedford of eBay, nothing to special but it was cheap and has loads of potential...
186 auto, dual fuel,rego, goes well, body is pretty good, some rust in rear doors, roof corner, floor, but nothing compared to other cars I've built...
Had one as a teenager and traded it, so time to replace it I guess.plans to repaint it, tidy up interior, but keep it as a driver n parts getter.

Looks really good. Original colour?

I's about to find out as painting my "rebuilt" it's original colour.
