Hi All,
Would like to say great forum and awesome to see the Beddie lives on.

I have just bought my first Beddie appropriately named Ugglie Beddie by the family and friends but hope to change this over time (a lot required). Many of you may have seen the big beast on ebay where I stumbled across it.

Stats: Cf LWB, 202 / 4spd, hwy diff, drums and 6 studs all around with some body work needed.

I haven't had a project car for about 15yrs but definately keen to take this back beyond it's Ugglie Beddie status.

Look forward to any advise I can get re. mods that I wish to do to get the ole van to a sweet ride. So far the forum has given me some good advise on where to start and thanks to all who have posted pics of mods and fixes as this definately simplifies things.

Now that you are here, this is the most important piece of advice. We here at beddy central love pics, so if you are going to be a member, dont just tell us about your ride, you have to show us, we love our beddy pics. oh yeh..hehe lol LOL  Also one of our members here, is president of the missing green van society, his name is skippy, and they say he hides the green van in his pouch, but we just call him skippy. lol  Welcome mate, you will get to know our weird sense of humour here, but we do have some of the best beddy minds around.

Hey Truck ...Welcome to the best site in the land. Bloody excellent to see any beddie in Perth. Are you North or South of the river?
Cheers....Johnno

Cool to see  a great response from all. Glad to hear there is a lot of humor here as I can see there will lots of F bombs goin around during rebuild and could always do with a good laugh after trying & trying till finally the hammer hits the wall. I have read up a bit in the forum and can imagine there's a few good hammer size dents in the Beddie a tent.

Ben - Not sure yet, am away at the moment and when I return Monday will look into it for you. I saw your comment regarding spring chop and tires only lasting 40,000 so definately want to look into this as would like to put my $$$'s to bedda use.

Johnno - North of the river or South Geraldton (depends on how much fuel in tank)

Anybody still running the 6 studs and have fitted discs to front as I may need them as old beddie will have a bit of extra weight on the drivers side to pull up.

there has been previous discussion about the 6 stud discs but youll have to use the search function to find it..

Cheers Ben will look into 84 Transit mod a bit further. By the way you do the fiberglass mods, is this correct?? and if so do know where I may be able to get a 1 pc rear door that can be opened upwards.

I will post pics of any work being done and get some pics of front and rear suspension so we can see how van was lowered.

Does anyone know of any wreckers worth scouting for parts in WA or is this an impossibility.
