LOL ... I've actually had lots going on at work the last couple of months and haven't been able to do as much as I wanted to!

So the latest with the Bedford is, I changed employers as of yesterday, so I will be getting LSL paid out, and I plan to use some of that to buy the air conditioning kit, and tailshaft etc I need to finish it off, (and some coil overs for the FX) and my current car (holden cruze) that was in a novated lease ends this same time so I will be getting a bit more in my pay now to play with so that will cover rego ;) its honestly very close, a/c install, finish the engine cover / firewall stuff, steering coupling, finish the seat bases (just a matter of getting it done) and then I reckon its about ready for engineering/rego!

once I have the FX motor in and running i'll be satisfied that I can spend some money and time on the bedford :)

Is there a planned paint scheme to match the Bedford and 48/215?

Agreed, surprising how little it moved considering how it was running. Almost think it was solid mounted.
