Hey Rich, I'm holding off painting till winter :roll: Want to use it this year as we have a few trips planned
 
Getting there slowly :mrgreen: .
Right, since its been back from the bodyshop ive managed to get a few bits back on. Had to buy a few bits and bobs as the light gasgets, front indy lenses etc were cracked and faded.
Front and rears almost done..........

That is one ACE looking van 8)
Jealous is a word I do not like to use much but..... ;)
 
The vans been in storage since the new year due to finances etc etc, but have finaty got some money together to get a few more bits done.
The engine had a small crack in the block that needed ally welding as it was leaving its mark wherever i parked it. Also when it was painted id left the engine in, so that also got a fair dusting of primer and red paint :? .

Soooo.....

The engine was stripped (Again :evil: ) and the block sent to the local engineers for the welding to be done.
Whilst it was away i sent all the tinwear away for blasting and powdercoating 8)
Getting there slowly but surely.
Planning to get a fair few more bits done this year so keep an eye out for updates :mrgreen:

Right then, finaly a little bit of an update.
The vans been in storage since the paintjob last winter due to the usual finance problems that EB owners seem to suffer from :mrgreen: but finaly ive got a few more bits done.
Went in to the local trimmers for a new headliner after finaly sorting the usual problems that sunroof Busses suffer from so hopefully no more problems there. If all else fails theres always masking tape :mrgreen: .
Also the engines back in but untested and untuned at the mo. Only had it running for 5 mins so far and sounds ok. But my oil light on the dash has stopped working at the mo so i need to sort that before i warm her up and tune it.
Door handles and mirrors fitted, went well :) but had the usual problems with the new window rubbers and some of the parts of the C&C waistband trim are a bitch to fit!!!
Only got one side of the waistband trim fitted at the moment as i ran out of time so thatl be done next week now.
Just then got to fit the rear bumper on and the exterior is just about done, wahoooo :lol:
Oh, nearly forgot, i need hubcaps :lol:

The head-liner looks very very nice 8) :D

The paint job looks really deep so once the trim is in place all around the van will look super cool 8) ;)
 
thats a stunner, makes me glad i chose red. im going to have to find some way of making mine look different now (other than the sliding door being on the right side) lol
