2) busy's van never seen it in person and probably never will but looks like it would be fantastic once finished.



I have to agree with you there Jason, I'm following that build with lots of interest...(and patience) :)
Funny old life.

thanks for the vote of confidence guys. The main reason it is taking so long (apart from lack of time and money) is the fact there is no plan, I'm just making it up as I go. As for when it will be finished? bodywise just have the front to finish (screen section, firewall and bonnet) and thats it, no more changes, well maybe one, I might have to shorten the front spoiler a bit, but thats it, no more!! rest of work will be on driveline and interior

not related to the above van but when I saw this is kinda reminded me of that - in a no relation way :p

and that heavy metal was awesome with the old mags, those new style mags ruin it I reckon

There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't. What you've got to do is turn around and say "watch me"

Don't have 10 but I will list the few I know,
1) woodie, and anyone that knows this van would agree that this is the best Bedford going round that's is not just all show, it is driven every day for work and every time it's seen it is spotless. I just don't have pics.
2) busy's van never seen it in person and probably never will but looks like it would be fantastic once finished.
3) heavy metal
4) cf jeff's van
5) our black van :)
6) and my old green van that ben now has

Here is the Woody

Personally I prefer CFJeff's van to any of those.......

Yep, have always like this van too. Looks good................

For those who want to see it in person, and live in the wellington area, it and I will be at the van nationals on march 30th in the lower hut horticultral hall from 10 till 3pm Hope to meet up with some of you other bugas there would be great to actually meet some of you in person. Be even better if you can attend the whole event and we can catchup over a bevvie or 2 at the camp. Enrty is only $130 for the weekend and includes accomadation and 3 meals a day.

Cheers Jeff
