ever wondered if they change styles much over the years?

This the same van through 3 different owners
Anne & graham Dolphin bought this van and a guy in Perth who's was known as grot was the prominent muralist of the day which is interesting cause later on it ended being owned by another car painter and muralist that I spent heaps of money with..lol
take a ride down paint memory lane.


started with sunraisers and some custom shades


grot from Art ATTACK did the airbruss work


then sold on to rob it went few a through hands and he put the flares and spoilers on
also the hurricanes


years later steve collins from Triteck designs purchased the van sad and very run down
he put alot of effort into this one I wish I had some more photos of it as you had to really see the paint to belive it I think it was a black base with blue pearl...
ALIEN V PREDATOR






I have asked a mate for some better photos of it so we will see how it goes
last I heard the van went to Kalgoorlie.
after that who knows?

PS before anyone asks -those are VW tailights!

I lived in Kalgoorlie from 1995 - 2002 and i never saw any other bedfords apart from my 2nd red one......did see a beddy truck with pantech on the back that i wanted to
buy but the war office said no!!!!!!!!! had no engine in it but it  would have made a perfect musci gear carter.....i had just started my live sound bussines and used the red van
and a massive tandem axle box trailer to cart all of the gear for the bigger shows [sometimes  needed to make 2 trips]....never saw any other beddies during that time though.

I'd bet my left one that that viking mural was out of a (Frank Frazzetta, fantasy art book) I owned and I think I still have it somewhere??

yep, you win the hoola girl has been on a few other beddys too.
