Looking to buy!!

[Ashleighda]

Hey guys, I'm looking for a Bedford in S.A, willing to pay up to $3500.
Doesn't need to be perfect, am buying to convert into camper!
It's my dream van so please help me find one

[Ashleighda]

Please, please help!! Money is ready to go

Ashleighda,
 make sure you really check any van your thinking of buying.
check gutters, bottoms of doors, sills, floors, right under wheel arches etc.
there have been many people buy cans of worms that have had a new lick of paint n looked good.
if its damp and mouldy inside there is usually rust issues somewhere!
id even go as far as squirting a hose over a prospective van you like just to see if it leaks anywhere.

there are some good buys come along now n then, i picked this up for $3,600
it was half restored, has new LPG System, power steering, all new rubbers and ambulance tinted glass on side windows and back doors, all new suspension, tie rod ends,ball joints, shockies, recond hwy diff, HQ front disks, holden HQ Stud pattern front n back,new radiator, n all hoses, heater recored, driving lights ,a new back bumper/step/towbar, new tyres and mag wheels,etc, and 12 mths rego
the guy spent thousands on it, i was blessed to be in the right place at the right time.
it just needs the 2 back doors and both sides repainting then its finnished.







i will keep an eye open for you.
kerry,s van looks ok as far as i can see. ive never seen it in the flesh but sounds like a good buy if its still available. kerry,s van looks awsome actually, id like to own it.
cheers marty

Thanks for your help!
I'm quite lucky I have a mechanic/ panel beater for a dad!!
Im not going to rush into anything, my last van I bought I fell in love with and it caused me a mound of problems with the diff and wheel bearings etc.
So this te round I want to make sure it's pretty sound before buying anything!'
Thanks so much for your help!! It's really appreciated!
