Building & Attaching the Subframe｜Bedford CF Van Conversion
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- In this weeks episode, we're laying the foundations for the entire build! The subframe. This is what the habitation box will be built on to, as instructed by the DVLA.
In this episode, our materials arrive and we get stuck straight in, cutting the metals and learning to weld as we go. By the end of the video, we'll have built an entire subframe to sit on the chassis, painted it using the best quality rust protector we could find and bolted the frame to the van permanently.

Thanks so much for watching. If you enjoyed the video or found it useful, don't forget to comment and give us a thumbs up! Cheers, L & B x
Terrific, this conversion series is
More, more, more,
Thank you! We're really excited to get the frame up soon fingers crossed and finally see it start to take shape
Hi from Western New York USA. Great work. That was the smallest welder I have ever seen. Seems to work very nice.
D Cummings Thank you! Yeah it’s an Arc Welder, it was too windy to bring the bigger one out. This was great to practice with though 😊
I think I saw your LDV today ? Parked up a few miles from Woolacombe?? 🌈🌈
Nope not us unfortunately! We're still down the line in Cornwall :) Would love to see the guys with the similar van to us though :P
From Rust To Roadtrip ooh yes, I wonder who’s it is. It was parked on a driveway, same colours as yours, you have a twin!! Xx
Your father is ACE.
and you both are too.
Best wishes. 🌟😊🚐😊🚚🌟🙏🌟👍☕️🍷☕️🍷
Lucy.. is your Dad a Londona?
Haha he's from near Brighton, so almost!
Great video guys, very cool editing! Project is coming on a treat 👍
Simon Hipperson Thanks for watching, it’s good to see it slowly take shape 😊 looking forward to getting the whole box built now! Cheers
Whens your Dad going to start his UA-cam channel ?
That was like watching Orange County Choppers doing some welding,,, Brilliant video editing .
Haha thank you! 😊
Lots of space to work in, no neighbours to annoy and Lucy's dad has all the right tools. That's the way to do it.
Some good skills for your dad to teach your boyfriend for the future.
Great video!
Brilliant! I'm gonna enjoy this project 👍
Thankyou! So are we 😄 We're excited to see our vision coming to life soon!
I would have thought the outriggers should be one piece from left to right sitting on top of the main beams.
Looking good! Feeling good! 👌
Doing a brilliant job. Can I adopt your dad?
why don't you mig weld it
Sorry if you've already answered this - how many people will the Bedford sleep? And are yo hoping to keep it under 3.5T?
You guys are so inspiring, you're gaining so many skills with this build. Do you think you may consider helping others with their van builds?
Also, the music is spot on...loved how it changed when Ben attempted welding the first time :-)
Thank you so much 😊It’s going to sleep 4/5 people and will be under 3.5t yeah. This should be possible as we’re using super light materials throughout the whole build as well as replacing lots of heavy steel panels on the cab with rust-free fibre glass too.
Hahaa, we hadn’t thought about that possibility actually. We could well do in the future, although every time we go to do a build, we remember just how stressful it can be 😂😂
Thank you so much for watching and we hope you’re enjoying your awesome trip still!
Hi! This is a great series!! I've just bought a 1986 Bedford CF2, and I was starting to panic... where to start with my renovation/conversion?! Thanks for the great videos, I look forward to seeing the end result.
:-)
Hey Toby, thanks! Haha we get days like that, too. It can very easily become overwhelming! The trickiest bit is working out a plan of action. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching our series so far :)
Wow you guys are cracking on with the project now from Mark in pool Cornwall
Yup we're finally making some progress!
thats amazing work well done guys!
Thanks Luke 😊
