Title: Cf shell wanted WA
Post by: gusto on January 23, 2014, 10:53:44 PM

Hi guys, after removing kilos of bog from big red I have decided she is too far gone, I have restored some seriously rusty cars before but unfortunately she is beyond repair and that's a big call for me, all is not lost as it has a really good v8 conversion, disk brake front etc etc so I am on the prowl for a reasonable shell, doors glass and running gear not important just a reasonable shell. To say no rust would be a joke as I am a realist but less is better! So I'm calling my fellow west aus Bedford nuts to let me know if they have one or know of one floating around, will take unfinished projects etc thanks in advance

agree entirely MTY. I was disappointed.  :( Not the vendors fault- he was open & honest with me about it.

If I had more yard space I would`ve bunged in a bid for that beddy.  I could use some bits from her...
I`m after a steering wheel , mirrors , dash , etc , etc .
Anyone parting one out?

well Bob, looks like me.... put a 300 bid on and was successful.  :D Plan is to strip every nut, bolt/ detach wings etc and sell what I can't use- having a cab/chassis means spare rims etc as well. Will post a for sale once organised.

Yea, not sure I did the right thing, but at that price, who could refuse!   ??? ??? ???

Since you asked Postie Bob, you can have first dibs.

Thanks for the offer rumax , much appreciated.
If the front 1/2 of the `ol girl is shot maybe the back 1/2 would make a neat `enclosed` trailer  :) .

Yes it could be done, just not by me. I'll check it out next weekend (collecting sat am). The reason not me is I already have a 300E ford thames rear half made into a trailer.  :)
