eddys camper for sale

[eddy]

due to the need for a bigger tow vehicle I have decided to sell my campa to purchase another beddie , I am seeking reasonable offers from members rather than putting it on ebay

[eddy]

the beddie campa van can be viewed in my gallery, after owning 12 beddies I can honestly say that this van is the by far in the best condition rust wise, it is a factory import with only two previous owners and was imported to from England by the original owner, comes with heaps of extras, I am more than happy to answer any questions honestly and straight up regarding the vans condition, I am regretting offering it for sale but I must be a realist to fund the next beddie project, if I was not in need of a tow van then I would not offer the campa for sale, if  interested reply to this post ......

I.m about to head off to the city to do a media interview but have enough time to give some basics (couldn't do it last nite cause Dokic was playing) there is NO motor or box in the van at the mo. I removed the 253 and the last jobs were putting a brand new windscreen rubber on the van, by the way when I removed the original rubber there was NO rust in the lip, there is NO structural rust above the windsreen or down the A pillars. I refaced the overhead console with varnished ply. The van has a 9" and disc brake front with HQ stud pattern all round, the flares and front dam are all bolt on and currently in undercoat. there are two options with the motor , 253 & trimatic or black 202 with trimatic, the 202 is EFI nad I have all the parts to update it. I can put the black 202 in and add normal carb to make it mobile but that would be an additional cost for my time, I can put the 253 back in but I would need to replace the valves 1st and again at additional cost, it is not certified for the V8. or you can put your own motor in it. It is a fully fitted campa, solid pop top (no canvas) has a sink, 3 way fridge, double bed and two overhead roll out submarine bunks, tinted windows alll round, 100 watt headlights.

I will be keeping the stereo but will leave the wiring in place, I will be taking the dual battery switch, I will keep the steering wheel but have a steering boss kit or will find an original steering to put on it, it has a V8 engine cover, 3 core radiator, I will replace the bonnett with an original cause I am keeping the bonnett with the moulded WRX scoop, Ben has taken a mould of the bonnett for those interested, comes with cragar type mags 14 x 7 & 14 x 8 with all good tyres (heaps of tread) the van will need a respray, there is surface rust but NO structural rust, I have the original front seats which fold down flat to make two single beds instead of one double bed. I am 6'0 the bed is west east and I can just fit, needs a few things to improve it but I can assure all that it is sound and is a fantastic base to start with. It has an heavy duty tow bar, optional bullbar and heavy duty roof rack with canvas zipper bag. I removed the lpg bottle and stove in favour of a safer cheaper butane portable cooker.

The cost? be real, I like anyone else want as much as I can get to fund the next project which is gonna cost me a basic $4000 before I even start making improvements so add on more dollar than the basic price, I have had a keen enquiry last nite and will do all I can to help the buyer with my own time and energy but do not want to loose money by finishing or rebuilding the van to someone elses tastes, if I do that I may as well finish it and put it on ebay.

Sorry brothers don't mean to sound harsh but I know you will appreciate me being straight up

[eddy]

duel wheel diff wahoo!!!!

[eddy]

yep, plans are for 308 and suitable box with big radiator, engineered cert, 15" rims on the 9" , respray colour matched to the caravan, then rego, then look at air con thinking of the tarago overhead units, possibly look at a dual wheel diff afterwards, now that would make an interesting swb look, I measured the centre of diff to the tow ball and is 100 mm less than the same measuring points on the stationwagon, there was some concern that the length would cause some exageration of movements from the steering to the caravan but as it less than the stationwagon and because there were no problems when towing with the stationwagon I am hoping that there will be no probs with the swb as opposed to a lwb, now thinking about gutting the inside original cabinets to suit our needs, changing from the original to incorporate a slide out kitchen and fridge and give us more carrying capacity (spare wheels, tools and mountain bikes etc,) shame really because the original is in such condition that it doesn't warrant gutting and would not be able to be returned to the original condition and layout ......  buga, should make a sweet ride but shame to see the original gutted .....
