cheers for the offer ben , im looking into fitting jag running gear into the bedford, the front cross member from the jag will need widening and new mounts making up. got my ideas and plans set already.  eddy , im afraid that very few people like bedford cfs over here , when you mention a custom bedford cf to people here they liken it to that cheesy american A team van.

Hey Stumpy,

Have you been in touch with the NSVA (Nationals Street Van Association). They seem to have a good mix of custom vans, plenty of US based vans but Transits and Bedfords as well. Could be worth a look.

hey bro, I'm hearing you with the A team van, theres one for sale on ebay ...... $40,000 worth of cheese !!!!.... shouldn't poke fun though, it has been done exceptionally well and far better than anything I could do just abit pricy for my budget

hi garry , there old photos on that site , dont think the sites been updated for quite a while , i dragged my sorry ass down to a  custom van  event at a  site in the uk , supposedly the mutts nuts event- - 4 american day vans with more cheap junk statues than the local bargain buys shop , now i know that theres a saying that goes " each to their own " and i hold my tongue on alot of peoples efforts. proberbly that same as a lot people do on my efforts. but hey thats life. all i know is that " i love my bedford " lol. hi eddy , the a team`s got a lot to answer for. lol. but 40,000 grand , to have people laugh at you ,? no way lol.
