Title: Micks bedford van. the strange little hermits old SWB bedford rebuild
Post by: Marishka on June 21, 2015, 09:22:07 PM

Im starting this thread for a friend mick. Username(Warcraft)
He bought a rusty old bedford SWB off me.
The progress so far is nothing short of astonishing.
Ive lent mick the use of my bedford moulds to make his fiberglass parts.
In return he is doing a few fiberglass jobs for me.
Starting with a HZ Trans Am front for 1 of my utes.

Pictures will be uploaded soon. :)
Cheers marty

yeah he's having a red hot go!

I assume all the replacement doors are fibreglass ?

the tow bar looks solid too, I like the little step it has, I need one like that!

Yeah i like the back door as well.
I bought all the moulds from the guy that built that pink truck that was for sale at kurri kurri.
It was originally light blue.

I also bought the wheels , doors and roof and back off the truck.

I dont need the roof and back now so if anyones interested in a straight as a die no rust at all! roof and back its now available.
Cheers marty
