Well like many of you ok well maybe just some i've always wanted an A-Team van and finally i have one.

The good thing is everything is there well apart from some of the bodywork which has got eaten by rust 8o| but nothing that cant be fixed.Might need a bita help there btw.

Plans are to strip it and start the welding process which i've now done.Once welding and P.S.V are out of the way a rewire a respary (obviously) and whatever else takes place to make a full A-Team van rep.

Here's a few pics

Is that a Bedford CF with a GMC grill?

You can easily accomodate a Rover V8 in a CF if it is....

I can also put you in touch with a person who has a diesel CF for parts if that's what you prefer!

My friend Chris used to have one of these all done up, not sure what engine but boy did it shift and the sound was superb, he took us a spin one nite and we all sat with plastic guns and a-team masks on including my Dad lol, he made good money renting it out to stag parties, weddings etc.

marko_d - your not having this one lol

Eamon - aye i know but dont even have her on the road yet so i'll see how she performs 1st.Sounds good tho with the modified fully working side exits

Bryan - I just wanna get it on the road as soon as right now ideally within 2 months but cant see that happening now to be honest. I know the van you mean, the guy got in contact with me. I wouldn't have room for a second van at the min but what kinda nic is it i in do you know? I never got back to the guy (forgot to be honest) can't remember his name. Think it's a CF grill but wanna do the GMC quad headlight conversion on her.Needa find a GMC for parts 1st !!

Mel - Thats exacally what i wanna do with this. Do you think Chris could tell me the in's n out's of it insurance etc

I went to see the diesel CF and it's completly rotten. You would only be able to use it for mechanicals. The sills are gone, doors are gone, steps gone etc etc
