Took the cover off the Pop for the first time in weeks this afternoon. Not as rusty as I'd expected, but it's doing it no good sitting about untouched. Really need to get it sorted, but struggling to find the enthusiasm. My motorcycle project's on hold for a while though, so there's no excuse.
So onwards with the filling, rubbing down & re-filling. It's not far off being ready to throw some paint at, but I swear I've filled the same areas a dozen times now. Once it's painted I can refit the interior, drain the rain water out of the carb, probably change the oil & generally service & re grease all the moving parts. Then see if the new engine that's been sat in there for well over a year will actually start.

Like to be a fly on the wall when he goes to resurrect that logbook.

Two things wrong. Firstly to get that logbook back you need to get an owners club involved and to enter into Historic for the first time it needs to be 100% stqndard .
Secondly were the logbook already up to date and registered as Historic a change of body style generally result in a minimum of a photo request and issue of V627/1 form but generally an inspection which will see it sent for BIVA.

Yep. Even if you don't need or want it as historic, the owners clubs have to say that it is an original and fair representation of the model. While I even have a dating certificate from the owners club, the speedster will have to go the IVA route. |

It was trying to change the body type that resulted in a letter calling my Pop in for inspection. By that time it was already in a million pieces spread over 4 counties. Fortunately some bloke called Kev persuaded me to go the SVA route. Very glad I listened to him.
Filling & rubbing down till 9.0.clock this evening, but the end's very nearly, almost sort of in sight.

It's not till I look back of photos of how it was when we were driving it, back in 2013, that I can see how far it's progressed. Feels like I've been working on it for a lifetime, but I'm determined to be driving it again soon.
Probably not a good example, cos it looks quite tidy in this shot, outside my brother's workshop in Wiltshire.
