Finally got the Beddie up here for a better look. Check it out and let me know what you think.
Not sure what the dash is from?

Woaha...Thanks man, blown away by the appreciation.
Yeah the guy I got it from did a good job.
The wiring is going to be a complete nightmare.
Got it for a good price, bought it like the day after advertised.
At the moment I'm always gonna be late on the 308 as it's running like a bag of shit, but it is runnning so that's better then I had hoped for when I bought it.
Also the gas is working too, however I have no idea whether it will be certifiable or whats needed.

i had wiring nightmares in my black beddy.. had sparks coming out of the indicator stalk.. dont ask me how i managed that???? so i ripped the whole thing out and replaced it with one from a nother van.. its the only way to do it i recon! start from scratch. the best thing about your van is that all you need it to get a wiring loom of a hz hj hx and use the whole thing except the tail lights.. cause you have the dash and the motor from a hz hj hx.. only thing is its handy to have a car there with the wiring to copy off.. i had 2 vans to copy off.. made it pretty simple really.. only had a couple of hickups and she was rocken and no sparks wahoo!!

check to see if it has a inspection plate for the gasshould be under the hood..

love that dash!!

Yeah I love the dash too! my cousin had a few GTS dashes lying around, at one stage there in the late 90's he had 10! He is a freak. I hope he has still got one for me, my Beddy could do with a new dash. I am also considering the electronic dash from a VK... Electrnic dash in beddy = slick. Jd

lets guess first!!!

i recon at least 3k- 4k something like that.. just by the way he said he got it for a good price..

i am so gunna do that mod to my black beddy!!!! i have the gts dash.. steering colum already modifyed for bedford (thanks eddy!!) all i need is the surround.. which is easy to come by and a wiring harness to go to the gts stuff..

cool!!!!
