Lilith the V8 racing Spacevan

[PaulJL]

Did that last week. Bought some battery powered fairy lights for the van. May even leave them in a mood lighting. Not bad for £1.59 for a set of 20 inc batteries. Bought 3 sets.

I sorted my garage into 4 piles of stuff.
1. Stuff I`m keeping
2. Stuff I`m not getting rid of.
3. Stuff I might use..one day.
4. Stuff that might come in handy.

Looks like the van may be pressed into service over Christmas... We are visiting the outlaws in Basingstoke and all Santa's sacks won't fit in the car without the kids seeing them. They can be hidden under the camper seats.

just hope there isn`t a shortage of unleaded... need a tanker full for the 460 mile round trip... if it`ll make it with the worn dizzy drive.

I'm sure you already know, but make sure there is plenty of lube e.g.; vasalene between your tyres and the white wall rings to reduce friction

Not a bad exhaust for a 'botch'
Love the moons and WW's[8D]

 

[PaulJL]

I love them too mate. The exhaust is staying on but needs shortening slightly to get the tailpipe lined up with mountings. It sounds ace... Uphills it sounds like an old biplane!

The tax runs out this week and we are having an extension built at home. The van is going into storage for a couple of months..... My mum's drive. Just need to pick up a load of timber in it on the way.

Useful vehicles aren't they[^]
I can confirm that you can get an Ikea king size mattress in the back of an Autosleeper - but it's a bugger to get it out again:I

Both Manifolds I hope? seems a tad silly to have only the inlet manifold done.......'Meh' should of gone the whole hog and gone for head skim, 6 speed and RC40 ......and whilst it's all apart gone for Flywheel skim! ......worth every penny!
