The Admin recieved this email late August

Quote from: Emma

Hi there,just looking around for some help with a Bedford van.My husband has a
Bedford which he bought a few years ago and started to do up(needed some
bodywork-rust removed,window rubbers replaced,headlights replaced and a few other
bits and pieces like pedals and replacement seat -thanks to a Staffy that shredded
them;vehicle was mechanically sound).It has been some time since  he has been able
to work on it,it is now sitting idle and rusting away with grass growing around its
wheels.A few months ago he somehow managed to melt the ignition key in a campfire
(:/) and the vehicle needs to be moved as we have to move house.Still has the door
keys though so that's something!
We are on the Central Coast of NSW and I was just wondering if you know of any
Bedford enthusiasts in our area who we could ask help or advice from.My husband
loves the van and wants to keep it,but he really needs some help (from someone who
can take a 'hands-on' approach) to realise his dream  of getting this van back on
the road.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.


Maybe some one on the Central North Coast could be of assistance - if its not to late.

I used to be vague..................Now I'm not so sure

tell her to sell it, buy toolkings beddy and get rid of the bloody beddy eating staffy, or keep the staffy and get rid of the husband, sounds like the staffy did more to the van anyway! :D
If you like it do it, If you like it a lot do it a lot!

I am suggesting this from experience, and not knowing if they want to go show or daily driver, and finances, but if he loves the beddy that much, and who would'nt, try your local mobile mechanics, rust repairers, or try your local custom shops, from memory the central coast was not short of workshops. good luck guys.
