so due to photobucket looking a fortune to host pics i have lost so many photos during the first part off this build
this is my bedford ha van as i got it
as you can see the underneath is quite bad and no matter what i did it was never gonna be a show winner
i really wanted to keep the sign writing as it was all done by hand so any welding or patches are going to be tricky .
so as we tried and tried to work with what we had it was becoming more and more clear that with out a load off replacement panels it needed everything and was beginning to seam like a basket case .
so after a bit off brain storming from me and my brother we decided to look at making a chassis for it .
we came up with a few measurements and from another abandoned project and realised that a reliant scimitar chassis would be a very close fit
so we set about cutting out the ha floor after a bit of cross bracing
this is what we ended up with unfortunately all the pictures to this point are lost
