Hi BAs Ride

The front of this Bedford I am not sure what it came of as this is a pic I copied from the web from an American web site. I would assume that it has been custom built. And that is what I am intending to do to mine.

How long is it going to be before you start, are you getting Alex to do it?, as I'd like to see his work before I let him loose on my Bedford , just to see how good he is.....

I'm the best so forget the rest

Can you modify my front end then, without to much damage

This is my old girl!!

I must admit Scott, you have one nide Van there

I have got a deal going with some mates of mine so they are doing the prep work. i mean the structure and the mechanical stuff so it should turn back up on my door step prepped and primed but then i am not sure what colour i want to paint it up yet so I might just leave it primer for a while.

i am gettign Alex to do a mural on it for me at some stage

Cheers Phil

To be honust I have not modified one. I did do most of the work on my orginal van by removing the entire body cutting new engine hole fto fit the 350 in new body, removed the flare kit from another and transplanted on to the current van.

I am assuming to modify the frin end to the extend I am intending is not going ot be to hard as the second set of lights should be sitting about where the heater intake should go so onvce i move that some else then there is a good enough hole and there is notheing in the way on the other side then its just a matter of making up a new grill to bolt into the same location of the existing.

MK 1 should even be easier than the Mark 2 as the Mk 1 has a separte grill and is not attahed to the whole front section like the Mk2

Cheers Phil

so it sounds like it can be done, but can Alex pull it off, that's the question

welcome to our forum Shagginwagon82 ,fantasic van your freind does nice photographic work

Hi all. Finally got my shit together.
This is the current project in its origional state and where it is now. been a tough last 3 years so progress has slowed to a crawl. starting to see light at the end of the tunnel thou so looking forwar to getting back into it again!

It's about time another Southern style member got on board

I'm a GM fan myself but I do like that model Falcon.
Look forward to seeing it finished. Keep us posted with progress pics.

Must agree with my learned colleague, Gday Garry) GM for me too but I also appreciate the work you have ahead of you,good luck and will look forward to seeing the finished product, and after all its one more van on the road WOOHOO and thats always good

I love that shape!! Our Prez has an XB with a dirty big snake airbrushed over it and it looks ace!!!!
Can't wait to see her finished....

Ford eh, while it's pulled down, try and stick a holden front on it, and a few sandman stickers on the side, and hopefully when your finished you never know what it started out like,

I found the headlights and nose cone that I need to pull this look off, hopefully Rusty will pick them up for me, as their in another state, and hopefully it won't be to much trouble to convert the front, a big hopefully I won't have to re-paint to much
