My Bedford and the Plan

[doofhard]

The original plan was to go back to metal but the paint on it is quite good really.  I just want to take it back quite a bit so there isn't 26 coats of paint on it and then put a 2k primer on it

[Marishka]

if all the coats are different kinds of paint id go 2 metal.
acrilic doesnt go well under 2k unless its old as,
if there,s any acrilic under there u can get crows feet and cracking 2k.
sinkbacks and frying edges are a prob as well if u expose lots of different layers

Yeah but my body work isn't perfect and i'm sure i'm going to be finding alot of supprises underneath.  I'll see how I go when it wheels out of the shed and I start.  1 panel at a time

[Marishka]

do it camo like me doofhard then the bodywork dont need to be that great,

my LWB  is straight as though. and white 2k, just needs a very minor tidy up.

blend in with the earth, , thats my plan, when im out camping in the rainforests, bush. , nature will come closer, ill be able 2 take some great still,s, and vidio footage of wildlife. etc, when i get 2 travel again, my soul is crying out 2 be free of this concrete, polluted scar on the earth. and mainstream society.im lucky i can ground myself every day, im actually building my own rainforrest, lol. just useing lots of quick growing vines and willows, tortured and weeping , my sisters boyfriend said something that made me think on christmas day, ( that was the first time he has walked barefoot through the lawn anywhere in months)he recons he could feel the static energy draining out through his feet,  he lives in a flat in  harbord, nsw. sorry for the babbling on that last bit, gettin carried away in my dreams again.

I'm hoping to roll the beddy out of the shed tomorrow.  Got all my treated pine sleepers lined up ready to put down tomorrow and had a massage on my back today and tis feeling alot better.

Been looking and thinking beddy alot lately.

1 thing i'm still trying to work out how to do is the tail lights.  As in how to make that sort of standard flairout where standard lights go, smooth.  Looking at the lines of the body has confused me but maybe tomorrow in the light it might make more sense of a how too.

By the way Marty pretty sure the main part of my van is going to be orange with some sort of funky lower design being ina special reactive effect paint.

At some stage in the future i'll be looking into a fibreglass bonnet too, be interested to see what the wrx scoop looks like but was thinking more along the lines of a hornet scoop.  Thats gotta look tough.

[eddy]

I lent Ben my bonnet with a wrx scoop moulded on, to make a fibrelass bonnet mould, going by the other posts appears hes pretty busy with the rear doors though, take a peek at my gallery for the wrx scoop moulded onto the bonett .... watch your back Doofs pushing the van out, doesn't take much to throw it out again, I usually put my back up against one of the rear panels and only push using leg strength bit hard on your quads but saves strain on your back, keep your back straight nad hard up against the corner of the panel where it meets the door, go slowly and you should be alright 

[Marishka]

Glad 2 hear ur backs better, look after that , u will need it later in life, im just finding out how stupid i was not looking after mine, 2 late now as well.)
u only get she standard one guaranteed to wear out within 50 to 80 years with prev measures.

the lines of a hornet scoop.  Thats gotta look tough.Yeah!!
that was my first choice but finding it hard finding 1.

yeah buy a winch n winch it in and out the shed, lew the winch n battery do the hard stuff.
marty,

id like to see a hornt scoup on a beddy ay doofhard!

[doofhard]

Yep decided to leave it till after new years to roll her out.  Would of cried if I couldn't bust some moves at new Years events.  Winch could be a great idea might have a gander on ebay.  Maybe a pulley system might be easy enough

[Warren]

Yeah Doof Doof would be Duff Duff with no muff muff if he did a huff an puff to move an old pile of rugh stuff

A nuff nuff
