CF Bedford Useful links
(if located in Auckland NZ)I've used a lot of parts and services to build this van so I'd like to share these places and who knows, maybe even give them some work.
Note: There may be cheaper places around, but these people, I found good to deal with. Not just good, but good enough to go out of their way for me.
Thanks to everyone who has been involved in supplying parts/services for the van in one way or another.
Not all have websites but all should be in the phone book.
