#26 – What's Next on The Bedford To-Do List? Zinc Plating Results & A Catch-Up Chat …
#zincplating #bedfordtruck #homeonwheels
Hello!
It’s just a quick catch up this week before the Easter Holidays, just to let you know how the rest of the zinc plating went (Spoiler: It went really well!) and to give you an idea of what we’re going to be doing over the next few months … So, we’re talking about the chassis! Eck!
If you missed our main zinc plating video, catch up with that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POfyhu-YTIo
We will be back with more progress on this epic build and restoration in a couple of weeks, when we’ll be finishing the panels, the doors, and who knows what else?
In the meantime, a peaceful Easter to you all.
Thanks for watching, L&T

This channel is the story of us, Tim & Lisa, and our attempt to build the World’s Greatest HOME-on-WHEELS on the World’s Smallest Budget … A unique motorhome, if you like, part vintage 70s, part off road overlander, all tiny home on wheels.
We are 2 ‘old enough to know better’ artists from Cornwall in the UK, and together we are building this off-grid home on wheels from the remains of a 1975 Bedford Firetruck.
We bought the truck on eBay at the end of 2020 and had it delivered by an even bigger truck to a huge, old barn-on-a-farm we are renting to use as our workshop whilst we undertake this challenge.
Well, several months and a few set backs later, we’re currently in the process of ‘lovingly’ restoring the base vehicle, taking the whole thing apart, piece by rusty piece, so we can make it all new and shiny again, before we embark on the even bigger task of building a home on its back out of nothing more than grit, imagination, sweat, tears and possibly a bit of magic and wishful thinking!
Oh, and tea!
Subscribe to the channel and join us in our workshop and we promise it will be nothing if not value for money … it’s free, you see?

Another great video folks and we've managed to get you a few more subbs
I'm very happy for you that the plating went so smoothly – it looks fantastic – but also makes me wonder again why my results got progressively worse. I'll try again over the summer…
Nice little catch-up vid, with all homely feel-good vibes that I always get from you two.
Certainly a way to go, but you have a decent plan and seemingly endless motivation so I'll be watching well into the future as we all age merely physically.
Great job on that plating guys, looks great! Love your attitude and approach to the project, keep it up.
THURSDAY?? You posted a video on Thursday? — now my whole week will be thrown off….I don't usually get to smile until Friday. I think I better go an lie down.
