first time bedford owner
« on: October 14, 2010, 08:24:33 AM »
i recently purchased my first beddy off my good mate mike(WraithKinght) when he upgraded his wheels to an El Grande.
its a lil rough and needs some lovin. its running a Nissan Skyline RB20e six cylinder n auto, ive only got to drive it a couple of times so far as who ever did the conversion on it munted the trans and made a hell of a mess of the wiring loom so its back to square one with her.
since i've had it i have already replaced the trans with a 4spd with overdrive and completely stripped the wiring and purchased a donor  R31 skyline thats guna donate its loom,gauges and interior

Sweet will do, probably will catch up with him today.
Hmm plans for it, sfar its to get it up and running rite so its a driver, am slowly and painfully making my way through a complete rewire
once thats done ive got a bodykit of a jap van that i am slowly cutting and extending to fit.
 havent quite made up my mind on the interior yet im not sure if i want to put a bed in the back or turn it into a rolling lounge suite

Back in 99-2000 and 01 b4 ending up in a wheelchair, i would drive my van to work of a day when i was driving forks, i had a bed in the back, so at lunch i would climb in the back with my alarm clock and have a sleep for half hr. Why, well i would finish work at 1500hrs, and deliver pizzas from 1700hrs till 2100hrs and then go and do security work fom 2200hrs till about 0500hrs then back to driving forks from 0700hrs, my beddy bed got used a lot, and now you know how i bought and paid for the custom work on my van. Man i miss those days.
