	Any love for the CF, this is my latest Project (ok i've had it six months) was on the lookout for a van for transporting my ride-on lawnmower between jobs so i purchased this.. with it's poor paint and rotten bits (nothing major just the aerial hole and a small patch on rear arches) its currently now sat like this..

	i love Cfs, both the early shape and later ones like yours.. my grandfather owing a dormobile camper one that my parents borowed a few times for family holidays in, and being given a bedford brochure as a kid probably has something to do with it, always seemed to play second fiddle to transits.. but were far more interestign to me, their relitive rarity by time i started to notice them probably helped

	sadly most of the interior had been removed when i purchased it (i presume as the roof leaked like a sieve when i got it) i'm in the middle of a refit so will get more up to date pics but have these.. I'm gutted it doesnt have the original paint but it had a cheap respray and moisture had got under it so had to do something..

	so roof gutters are great and are normally quiet bad to rot on these, gave the body the minimal welding it needed and blasted afew coats on with a roller, flattening it back each coat as i may try and cut it properly at some stage paint used was good old solid oil based exterior paint that was €15 a 2.5l tin (no expense spared lol) i have a couple of passats about so nicked the high level brake lights as they fit the rear doors

	Nice project and as you say, overall, in good condition,it's coming on very well so far, It'll be interesting to see your future plans, Considering the "hyper expensive" paint used, (😁😁) I personally think it looks great, In for the ride and bookmarked, Nigel
