HI,
My names Stewart and i own a 77 swb Beddy. So far it's had a Holden V8 304 fuel injected motor with a T700 trans fitted with a B & M shifter, custom built 70ltr strapless Brown Davis drop tank, hq stud pattern with 19" showwheel rims with low profile tires and a custom one piece back door with the skinny window which opens by remote. Also she has had a custom black House of Kolors paint job done, custom aluminum engine cover fitted shaped to the fire wall, chrome Lokar performance steering column and steering wheel, Bucket racing seats (soon to be changed) runs on petrol only. All brand new glass and rubbers with recently fitted central locking and remote start as well. Shes been a bloody long build and hopefully i'll get the engineers report done next month. Interior will start very soon.
Hope you all like the ride as there are some pretty cool Beddys on here. I've posted an album of how she looks now titled "EVIL 77". Very fitting as she is most definitely EVIL... lol
Feel free to ask any questions.

Thanks for the comments!!
Dano, on the 19's shes a bit stiff so i plan (once shes registered) to have a good look at the suspension and all my options. Maybe even air bag suspension if i can find a kit and someone to install it that isn't out to rob me. And i haven't lowered her yet either. I really want her to be a comfortable ride.

I wish she was as nice as she looks in the photos... A lot of time and money has gone into the build. I was badly shafted by "Superior Panels" in Clifton Hill which sent me back a long way. After paying 10K to get her straight, rust taken out etc (no paint just prep) all he did was fill her with bog... not just any bog SILICON, CARDBOARD the list goes on... Had to get the whole van done again... Took him to court, won almost 17K and he wont pay.. .Damn prick
Had her painted using House of Kolors paint, the jobs pretty good but she needs a good cut and polish.

Dano i'm hoping to be at this years NATS but she'll be unfinished with no interior. But by next year I'll have her complete for sure.Hopefully. lol
