A new Bedford addition to Centre Rd. Wreckers. White 76, side door and reasonable barndoors, front disk brakes, 202. Nice mags as well. Indicator stalk held together with epoxy! I've found the indicator stalks of old Fords (Bosch) replace it nicely. will put up photos of rewired stalk. Headlights are no longer yellow! Bright as!  
1976 SWB CF, 186 block, LPG customised VK EFI self ported Head, LPG converted Ram tube manifold, Extractors, Supra 5 speed, Falcon hwy Diff, HQ Disc brakes, Commodore 3 core cross-flow radiator, HEI, 90 litre LPG.
It can drive up a wall in 5th gear and across the Sun without overheating!

I moved my (custom) van from my neighbours workshop where I have been working on it, to home where I'll tidy up the van a bit for the Kemeu show (16-17 Jan 2010).
I really wanted to drive it home but had a few problems (mainly my brand new radiator sprung a leak), so it had another ride on a towtruck.

I've included a  photo of both my vans, only has skinny rims on back of custom

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"

well i had this terrible scrapping noise coming from my 307 last week!!!! i was spewen cause have not had a good run with this van and it breaking down. so i started tearing down the engine to find out what it was. got the heads off, still making the noise when i turn the crank with my hands arg!!!! so i dump the oil, pull the sump off, the timing cover water pump all off! do it again and the noise is definatly coming from something hitting the sump so i move the sump around until i notice something that makes me want to torch my van on the spot!!!! a flywheel tourque converter bolt has come loose and is hitting up against the sump. FAr Out im a DORK~!~!


now i will spend the next 5 hours putting my engine back together!!!!!!!! not to mention had to buy new gaskets, van off the road for 4 days!!!

gotta love bedfords:) guess it could have happened to any car. now someone has told me about such a product called lock tight that ive nver used before :( guess ill be getting to using it after this experience.
