Due to the fact that i no longer need my 77 CF SWB van for what it was intended for, i can't really be bothered finishing it,
so id rather see someone else have some use out of it.
if anyone is looking for a project in WA and doesn't want to spend time/money on the engine this would be for you because
it has a new blue 202,( +60 thou pistons, hi comp head, crow cam, new starter motor, waterpump, new radiator, all hoses, belts new etc etc etc)
its an automatic, has a custom fibreglass dash (VH commodore)
just needs the following:
-it is unlicenced
-needs an exhaust. (just has the header and about 3 foot of new pipes needs the rest)
-dash to be wired up.
-shifter to be connected up.
-i think the brakes need new shoes and re-adjusting from memory, but has got a recon master cylinder. also comes with a set of V8 HZ brakes / Master cylinder.
-could definitely use a paint job.
Im looking for about a 15 foot or larger caravan to be used as a storage room, so i'd be interested in swapping if someone had one.
othewise im asking around the $2000 mark considering the completely new engine.
or if it doesn't sell ill just keep plugging away at it untill its finished in a hundred years time.
its in Mt Helena (up in the hills, near mundaring)

-
Dick Smith ..$149.95 ;D :D
-
still looking to get rid of this cf..... any offers above the $1500 line will be considered...
the motor itself cost more than that....
-
Bren put some pics up.
-

-

-
It looks just like all the other unfinished bedfords on here :) jellybean mags.....
-

-

-

Hey Bren...I have been meaning to ask you ,is the vans drive line up and running.Could it be driven? Whats the body like for rust? cheers...johnno ;D
-
there is some rust coming through but it has been bogged up before by a previous owner,
so without ripping it back to metal there's no way of knowing how bad it is.
the rear doors are pretty bad.
and it really isnt driveable because:
1-the shifter isn't connected
2-the brakes need adjusting, (although i drove it home with them like they are, but its a bit dodgy)
3-the exhaust is pretty loud without the muffler
i have no idea what diff is in it... doesn't look original though.
i have a set of HZ discs and callipers to go with it, but i never built the conversion kit, because i decided not to finish the van.
im going to put it on ebay as soon as i can get some photos of it.
i can deliver it in perth for the cost of trailer hire if that helps.... (about $60)
Its certainly not the best van in the world but the engine has had everything done to it that could possibly get done.
it just needs someone to tidy it up and finish it off. if the weather wasn't so hot i'd probably get it driveable,
and take it for an inspection at the pits but i just cant be bothered in this heat...
-
hasn't a mate got a camera phone , you'll sell it alot quicker, does it have side windows?
-
Thanks very much Bren....It just gives me a bit of an idea what there is to do. cheers...johnno ;D
-
Thanks Craig - i'll contact you when i'm closer to do the brake conversion - in the meantime, do you want to pm me to give some idea on cost etc - much appreciated.
-
ok looks like im able to get some photos.. ill upload tomorrow hopefully. then if no-one from here is interested i;ll chuck it on ebay...
-

as you can see by the dust and cobwebs its been sitting for quite a while, and the engine has just been run up to temperature every few months...

hey man im interested but how much would you charge to deliver to vic? its only 40 hours drive!
-
well ill throw in free delivery if i can get it in an airbag....
40 hours driving with no muffler might be pushing it for me i think....

Bren,
Thanks for letting us have a look at the Beddie at Short Notice.
Yes we are interested,will give ya call to discuss further. :)
-
Bren,
tried to call you this evening but your phone rings for a while then disconnects ???
-
Beddy now has a new home, the wife even managed to to get the buffing compound out and it now actually has shiny white paint.Just need to tidy up the inside. :o :o
-
Gday Autocat did you buy Brens van?
Craig
-
Yep, Picked it up this afternoon. :)
-
Well done guys. Now that its a bit more shiney ,you will have to post up some more pics of it...
cheers...johnno. ;D ;D
-
glad to hear shes getting looked after finally :)
-
Yep, Re painted the grill white yesterday as well as the bonnet.
Today carefully fitted grill,bonnet,headlight surrounds and adjusted bonnet brackets.Cleaned all windows in and out and found a square bonnet centre badge so fitted that as well.Monday hope to get most of the Dash wiring sorted so as to hook up the Commodore speedo cluster.
Just going to tidy her up for now so she's back on the road and will work out the finer points later.Plan to get her to the exhaust centre this week or next.
-
Bren,
Forgot to ask about the head does it have stainless steel inserts and valves to run on normal unleaded or do we need to run a additive in the fuel? :) :)
-
hey autocat21 is that a full fibreglass body back you have on your cab chasis?
-
No it's a steel van body, it used to be a Boans delivery truck from what i can gather from many years ago. ;) ;)
-
Ben in the last few years it has been a transport vehicle for a guy running a Sprint car then sold to a guy who had a Supermod and then i got hold of it. :) :)
-
and what are you doing with it now? i have a big cf truck similar to yours.. not quite as big thou. i just use it for parts truck at the moment. its full of beddy parts..
-
I'd actually like to move it on but I havn't got around to doing anything about yet. Was going to put a reconditioned Blue motor that I have sitting around into it but don't know that I really have the spare time to change engines. I only need one Beddy at the moment and now it's the Van I bought from Bren. So if anyone is looking for a CF Beddy Truck :o :o :o
-
I have posted some photo's of the Beddie Van after her first polish and tidy up. ;D ;D
-
That looks like a damn fine van. ;D Its amazing what difference a wash and polish makes. Good job, how long before rego do you think?
cheers...johnno
-
Hope to have it sorted within a month, being as our offical address although we live in Byford now is still listed as being in the Mid West I'll take it back to the Midwest to get it lre registered. It will be easy and less time consuming for me. ;) ;) ;)
-
Cool.... ;D ;D
