We worked full days for a few weekends to get the van on the road
I was putting these pictures on bedford vans australai face book page
On the sunday showing our progress putting the van back together,
Had a few diehard bedford fans chaffin at the bit ...waiting to see a full van picture .
But i wanted to wait untill see was all back together and nice and clean,

It was fun teasing them...but it did take a while...things werent going back on easy...tippical bedford style..
A lot of things were a muck around especailly the sliding doors.
I also kept find things that needed painting either purple or black.
I was really wanting to do a nice job  this time round.

I reupholstered the grey kia carnival seats year model  2000
Found the last 9 mtrs of purple fabric that the xr6 and xr8 were fitted out with...the other colurs were blue, red, yellow, orange , green and grey...so stoked to find purple 😎😎😍
Made real leather gear stick boot and hand brake boot, and also covered a trophy box in black leather to house our stero that is mounted to our dash shelf were Buddha also sits.
We stripped out the old felt trunk liner from the internal ceiling and walls sine all the dust from the paint shop made it look shabby....
We really did a full make over except the engine bay, we left it in the origianl purple acrylic paint we did 7 yrs ago...too much work was required to do that ...

Finally shes all back together and back on the road.
Really happy the way it all came together.
