Gordon's van

[taggraphx]

  I was looking for ages trying to spot the difference in the roof

[Gordon]

We took the van out for a bit of a run today and managed to get a few pics that show the difference in the suspension height. The back is still at standard Bedford ride height. I plan to get the back springs reset to drop the bum a bit. Still want to leave it with a bit of a rake in typical '70's style.

Looking good

[Hobbit]

That looks excellent, Gordon.  I'm jealous.

Thanks for the feedback Busy and Hobbit. The adjustable upper arms have made quite an improvement to ride quality under highway conditions, but you can notice a bit of feedback from the rose joints on a bumpy road surface. A small price to pay for the improved looks.

So, over the weekend there I was reversing out of my driveway and the next minute my neighbor's tree jumped out of the bushes and beat my Bedford's bum black and blue.

Do you get mad tree disease ?

Gordon, had to happen one day, good to get it out of the way, but lets hope it does not come in lot's of 3 But good place for a repair....

ahhh BUGA that.! nothing a chain saw wont fix 
big truck mirrors are the go   

[Gordon]

Yep Bas, I was pretty philosophical about the whole thing too. At least its forced me to get my other small assembly related mishaps sorted at the same time as well as sorting out the stone chips from our epic South Island trip.

I visited the patient earlier today and its already looking a lot better. Got my valance straightened too.

Serves me right for not connecting up my reverse camera Wendy. You can bet that will be the first thing getting done when I get her home.
