Greetings from Tassie

[Brothergrosby]

G'day folks, names Simon (aka Brothergrosby) and I hail from Penna, down here in little old Tasmania. I'm just about to start a restoration on a 1965 Bedford CA. OK I know this forum looks to be CF land, however I hope I'm not going to be run out of town for having the previous model! I'm guessing that a lot of the technology and parts are interchangeable and there is a distinct lack of CA sites so, well, here I am I guess...
and here is the girl! (ex Aussie Post) I saved her from being landfill for the princely sum of $100

Cool ! I am excited to see how she comes along! be sure to post lots of pics!

cheers,

joe

Hey man that looks like it very good shape not a lot of rust just looking from the pics it should come up a treat

I imagine there wouldn't be too many of the CA's still floating around ?

hey simon.

for a start please ignore all my previous posts on how i am not a fan of the CA.


great to have you on the site, i have never ever seen a CA in the flesh, wouldnt have a clue what parts are interchangable. but if its any indication how hard it is to get access to CF parts your gunna have a lot of fun doing up that old girl!!!

so good luck!! look forward to the progress
