 She's moving home in a couple of weeks, but she doesn't know it yet. Loony's changing workshops so the cat's going too cos she's become reliant on him for food every day. About 10 miles away, so hopefully she won't head back here the first chance she gets.

So long as she's locked in every knight for the first couple of weeks she will be ok.

I think that's the plan & she's got a litter tray & blankets that's she's used to. Hopefully she'll know where she's well off.
-Just checked my files for a photo of her & found this one, then spotted the date -18.8.14 -exactly 2 years ago today.

Dashboard rubbed back & re-sprayed several times. I keep getting "bits" in it, almost like spatter from the nozzle of the can. I've built up a fair thickness of paint now though, so will leave it a day or so to harden, then try some cutting compound on it.

The tailgate's been sat in the lock-up in primer for ages, (it's a nice dry garage). So just to see what it'd look like I tried a coat of green aerosol on it. There are several bumps in the front panel, caused by welding captive nuts to the inside face, but they'll be hidden under the hinges so I'm not worried about them. This outside skin will be rubbed back to a satin finish, but the inside will be gloss.

Shuffling garages at the moment, so all of this will have to be, (carefully), moved in the next week or so.

And the Pop itself's going to a new home in a lock-up garage in the middle of Basingstoke. Hoping Doug the engineer sorts out the bits & pieces I left with him in the next few days so I can get the last couple of mounting tabs welded on before I lose the power supply, (mounts for the new stainless Cherry Bomb silencers under the cab floor).

Rear fuel tank went back in today, while Mr Loon & friends were busy ferrying the contents of his old workshop to the new one.
I've modified the framework that holds the tank to take a towing eye, purely for my brother's benefit. He races a nostalgia drag car & used the Pop as his tow car at the 2013 Hot Rod Drags. I've been promising it to him again ever since, so this is just for him to hook the car up to, to tow it from the pits to the startline. It's bolted to a framework of 1" box section, attached to the chassis with 4 8mm bolts, so should be strong enough to handle a lightweight race car -last time he just looped the rope around the same frame.
If I'd wanted a proper tow hitch, (to tow a matching bike trailer to carry my bike on), it should have been fitted & tested when we put the Pop through the SVA registration test.
