this one appears to fit the criteria and is in your price range
there are businesses out there who will even check it out for you as it is so far from home

This one that Hotrod posted looks the goods. It's still there and it runs! Get rid of the 'Street Idol' on the side and it'll look quite sharp.

hey guys, i have an apron loaded with pockets for tools and bits, but yeh i am zooming round the workshop as a gotha for the tradies. I have a corner in my shop where all the new goodies go while their waiting to go on the van, so when it's busy i am forever tearing up and down my worksop. The shop is 18mx10m so i get a good workout. lol. I just get so frustrated sitting there and watching, so i just have to get in there and do my bit. Hey nick, b4 i started working on beddies, i had no idea of how to pull out a front crossmember, and disc brakes were like doing open heart surgury, now though i can talk about them and i understand what is being said, i mean i'm no expert but by the time we have pulled them out again a few more times i will be more comfortable. In my case i am a hands on beddy owner, you will be very surprised nick how quick you learn about beddys. I have told my mechanic i want to help with rebuilding of my V6, not just watch. And yes guys i do have bedford badges and laminated pics all over the place, my office is covered in them. Here is one i have on a shelve in my office, found it at a wreckers one day while getting some gear. $5 oh yehhhhhh.
george.

I may be in a chair, and i may have the odd bad day, but on the good days i make up for it, and every now and then working on my beddy helps my bad days less bad. lol  ;D

I am selling my 1977 swb camper van.  It is in amazing condition and is pretty much original all the way through including the engine!  It drove from Canberra to Noosa, back down to Melbourne and back to Canberra and had no problems!  $3500 with blue slip or I am happy to put 12 months rego on it if the buyer pays the difference.
