My project....

[alex_m]

Just bought an old Bedford Cf ambulance to convert into a campervan. I'll post pictures of the progress over the next few months (read: years)

It's been used as a gun bus for a few years. Bit of a clean needed and in the future a new engine and poss gearbox, although this one is fine for local travelling.

I would of liked the big renault, though

fantastic idea! I've seen fire engines being turned into camper vans before. And you can always filter through the traffic a lot quicker than most of the unfortunate commuters in their expensive Jags!

Hahahaha, I lived in one of them more years ago than what I'm going to admit to here!

 

Great project . Please keep us posted with updates and piccies.

janey - my flat tenancy runs out in may, so i will hopefully be living in it over the summer - it will save £600+ a month in rent, council tax, bills etc

 

i got it really cheap so if i get to the point where it's needing a bit too much work (shouldn't do), i can get my money back. it is structurally sound, not even any proper rust to speak of on wheel arches and cab floor. MOT'd last august and sat around since - started first time after 5 months!

i've been quite slack of late. here it is looking a bit cleaner and i've ripped out the bench seats in the back. not much else to report. here's my mates russian beast 'zill'. it drove across the wood pile and it didn't even feel like it had left the flat ground

Now that's a nice bit of kit . Why don't you hijack that and get a cutie classic caravan, like a Safari, to live in?
