[kimbosound]

beddy truck is now booked in for brakes and windscreen next Tuesday......i'm getting a little excited [infact i think a little bit of wee just came out]......once rego is hopefully done the truck will be listed for sale so i can start my other one.....so if anyone is interested let me know.....i do still have the disc brake front end for it that came with it when i bought it from Ben. I have sincce put the the diff and front end from the donor van in it to hopefully make it easier for rego

What kind of price are you looking at Kimbo


ONCE BRAKES ARE DONE $1800.00 PRE REGO.....OR ROUND $2500.00 AFTER REGO.....RUST FREE, NEW FUEL PUMP, LIGHTS ETC, NEW TYRES, 202 RED MOTOR WITH TRIMATIC [STANDARD DIFF] BOG STANDARD INSIDE.....GREAT LITTLE TRADIE TRUCK

[adsruss]

I am debating on whether to buy a new ford ute or go for something with a bit more character. $2500 sounds good. How long until it will be rego'd?

[kimbosound]

Just got to get the brakes done, windscreen replaced and put the new floor carpet in......hope to get most of all that done by the end of next week, then i will try for rego after that....all going well should be ready in 2 - 3 weeks i guess.

Sweet. Let me know how you go. I am pretty keen on it.
I had a couple Beddies. I gave my blue one to Craig and sold Borrie to Dano and have been kicking myself since.

my standard van update:
motor and box etc all in, engine bay bits all done, inside mostly done, just a bit more wiring to do really and a cable or two.
have been waiting for a price for my driveshaft - $500!!  f#@k that, 2 new universals are $100 +gst, and balance $90 + gst and all the rest to supply a tube and weld the ends on.

my custom van update:
none sadly - not enough hours in a day

Screw that. You guys must have a Pick-A-Part somewhere local. They always have shiteloads of Commodores. Go find a later model one with the Buick V6 and rip one out of there. They'll probably only charge you $10 aside from the hour it takes you to rip it out. Don't put an original VN back in there because you're setting yourself up for failure again.

Oh yeah, it was mentioned in a thread you started as well. Here...  http://www.buga.com.au/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=2&topic=2057.10
