1980 tkHLC bedford cab clean out and engine prep

[@adventureswithmichael6589]

I'm really enjoying the whole process of tidying up this beautiful truck! It's a true marvel of engineering with how these where built back in the day. Nice an simple an not overly complicated.
Beautiful work with the filming to james! It's a real joy to watch ❤

[@jimifix]

Thankyou sir , very cool simple old beast and looking forward to it being usable .

Great trucks Bedfords! As a native of Northern Ireland, I'm impressed that New Zealanders use the term "wee", as much as we do here! Cheers!

[@jimifix]

Haha yeah … I use the term wee a lot !

Hi James, new subscriber, enjoy watching your videos, love these old TK Beddys, had a lot of fun in one when I had a fencing contract, great truck, very reliable. My old man was a great believer in Fisholene in door panels etc so maybe when you get those doors sorted it’s an idea. Great content, thanx for sharing

[@jimifix]

Hi Gordon thanks for the support and the suggestion. She’s a cool old beast looking foward to seeing it usable again. Yeah the doors aren’t too flash but the plan fix them up.

[@TheFeltbegone]

That is a nice old truck. It is a good day when you can work on something that you don't need in the morning. I am looking forward to the series.

[@jimifix]

It is! And yeah I’m seriously in no rush 😂😂 I have a kizillion things I can pick and choose from … the kids are fairly important however 😉😎

[@lorenzoroberts1326]

[@OldRopeSalvage]

Great stuff! It's only been just over a year since we started taking our cab apart, but watching you working is bringing back many fond memories. Keep the Bedford videos coming.

[@jimifix]

Hey thanks ! 😊 I’ve been watching you guys also ! I love the 4x4 model , almost bought one before this one , I still may do it ! 😂😅
Yours is coming along well . When I disassembled the drivers door I couldn’t believe how many parts and screws and bolts came out of it ! 😉😎 take care

[@OldRopeSalvage]

@@jimifix Thanks also. We are just about to start welding the doors and reassembling them! Might take a while! Really like your scenery over there too. Looks fantastic.

[@jimifix]

@@OldRopeSalvage oh exciting! I think it’s a big deal when the doors go back on .
I’m so lucky ! It’s a beautiful place out here on the coast , and it’s where I grew up , after years of being away I made it back 😊 keep in touch

[@OldRopeSalvage]

[@Simo-bx2qm]

A bit of a clean up and she will be like a new truck

[@jimifix]

Haha I see the potential man ! Nuts I know 🤦‍♂️ fark that door was heavy bro 😂😎

[@Simo-bx2qm]

Mate if you were in Australia Ide be able to get you some good doors for nothing they are a good old truck they used to put 308 Holden motors in them my uncle had one on his farm for years just used to keep chugging along

[@jimifix]

Oh nice ! There’s a few wreckers here in nz , up north ,
I will check out them but I’m kinda keen to tackle the panel work myself … could be disastrous but got to try at least 😊

[@91Grunta]

Tell us your gonna Detroit swap it and some more good sh.t will happen to your channel lol......, I'll subscribe and hang about, had to google Spar Bush! So many places to see in our own country. Take care of that old Beddy and have some fun doing it.

[@jimifix]

Haha if only my wallet could release the gorse!😂

[@danfacer4559]

Hows she coming along now brother?

[@user-RenPen]

Try making a C too9l to push the door and window clips it's easier.

[@jimifix]

Haha yeah there’s probably a tool for the job ! , a baby screwdriver usually works ok, my hands are really big so I always find small spots difficult

[@jamesboyle9078]

There is a tool to remove the clips

[@jimifix]

Ok thanks I don’t know that , I’ve always just used baby pliers or a swear word or two that helps!😎😂
