πAnyone needing original style Bedford bus framing??? This is steel section is not available off the shelf but this or any other profile can be made to order for people restoring an old beauty of a bus. πππ©ππ§ππ¨ Direct message me for contact details. This is an exact copy of the New Zealand Motor Bodies framing used (although this one uses galvanized sheet). I made this section in my friends commercial workshop, so if you need a custom sections made to repair your bus I can put you in touch with the Nelson business and Glen can sort you out and freight to your door. π§π¨π©βοΈππ I thought I'd share this because if I'd not had access to the equipment to make this old framing section I'd have been very happy to have been able to find it and buy it elsewhere. And it makes a much better job using the original instead of trying to weld in Rolled Hollow Section ( RHS) box that doesn't connect up. See some earlier pictures here to see where I used the new framing on rusted out sections. πποΈπ³πΏ #bedfordJ4 #housebus #housetruck #befordbus #overlandadventure #overland #alternativeliving #overlander #vanlife #busrestoration #bedfordrestoration

Double moon I think it was named. Ended up as a double page spread in a German magazine. It's another one of my favorite pictures of the #oldschoolbus, cheers @maxschumann_ ππΈ Craigieburn just the other summer π πποΈπ³πΏ #bedfordJ4 #housebus #housetruck #befordbus #overlandadventure #overland #alternativeliving #overlander #vanlife

Night shot from Marahau, bus looking good under a full moon with the glowing lights, Canadian canoe, Northshore bike rack and bikes ready for the mornings fun. I'm sitting in Europe and having a great time even if occasionally I'm excited to get back to my bus and the NZ summer adventures! ππ²π³πΏ #bedfordJ4 #bedfordbus #oldschoolbus #alternativeliving #housebus #overlander #overlanding #overlandadventure #overland #vanlife

A little help from my friends. Putting bonnets on, is always easier with three peeps. My German pro rider mates were here in NZ this last summer, we've done a bunch of bus trip together now, I love sharing the old school bus travels with these guys. @inesthoma and π· @maxschumann_ I'm planning to make you guys a double bed in the front of the bus in your honor this summer! Ist das ein gute idee? ππβπ² #oldschoolbus #bedfordJ4 #bedfordbus #overlander #alternativeliving

Just before I painted it for the second time since 1996. While staying at my patient friends place for 2 months in 2913. Sorry all the noise @missgunnmakes π #bedfordJ4 #1960 #bedfordbus #housebus #alternativeliving

Deep in the mountains of Oregon California - 2016 while racing the Trans Cascadia mtb event. Myself and Adam Craig pictured here, we both took a shine to this old wreck.
