Re: Re: 1963 bedford dormobile not seen the light for 30 years
hi and thanks for that john.
Well after spending the last seven months of my life the dark cold winter its all been worth while to see the van get restored and being able to drive it after it being tucked away for the past 31 years.
This is a brief description of what i have done to the van and the only help i have had is with the mechanicals. We removed the engine and had it reconditioned, new piston rings, crank shaft regrind, new barrings, cylinder head, converted to unleaded petrol, new clutch, new hose the list goes on.
Bodywork which i have done on my own, stripped the bodywork down to bare metal and rust inhibitor on it, re-wheel arches, plate inside and out on both sides and sills and prime and paint, cleaned the chassis up and repainted it, removed the petrol tank and repainted it, again the list goes on. In which all this was completed in my garage at home which is approx 22ft by 12ft.
THIS IS A FULL LIST OF PICTURES OF MY RESTORATION.
