Lilith the V8 racing Spacevan

I've been painting today. Using a 2 part epoxy paint called Raptor Liner. It's designed for pick up truck beds and is sprayed on using a Shultz gun. Different air pressures give a different finish. It dries rock hard.

I was just going to say looks like crinkle finish paint which is pretty hard to get right and only usually used on small item. That looks great.
 
Its started going together....
I've finished plumbing the heater, fitted the air horns and the passenger seat is now bolted down. I was going to bleed the brakes but I managed to snap the terminals off the brake light switch yesterday so that needs replacing first.

i never knew they came with arch covers!
That's in amazing condition.
Was there also one for the engine?

any patterns available?
It's a Spacevan. I'm assuming they came as standard. They were in it when I bought the van. The engine cover is different to a commer one and is plastic/vinyl covered.
 
Yer I’ve got wheel arch covers and front engine lid cover but a real mess, currently restoring the. as Paul said the top engine lid is already insulated on the later models.

If you look on my SuperVista page it should show the resto of the covers what they look like complete
 
Got the seats in. Started fitting the engine cover. It seems to fit better backwards so that's how its gonna go.
