Would look gorgeous Shaun, but I just haven't got the facilities or money or time to do it. Reality check- I need to finish what I've got! Got a bike that's just in need of a few afternoon's work to pass the MOT & be rideable -with a big toy run to attend on it in a couple of weeks time. And a trike that's still only half built & will need registering when it's done, that's already booked in for several Monkey runs in the Spring. The tatty but legal Fiesta van will see me through the Winter as a general runabout. Once I've got everything done, then I can look at buying a drivable motor.

Sensible comments Andy, shame we have to go through life broke  , when I'm a rich and famous publishing guru, I will sponsor your truck build  . I would think a starting bid of around £4-500 would be good, body alone must be worth nearly that. but I'm no expert and people are fickle things!!! If it doesn't sell and you decide to break the lot, I would be interested in the wheels and maybe the seats. |

Not fair is it.
O.K, you've got first refusal. Shifting the big bits is the main priority. I need to get the body & motor out of my brother's way & the Sherpa out of my lockup -I'm paying rent on that every week & can't use it.

If I can spread enough bits around enough garages I won't have to rent one myself at all!
Bugger, just checked that Pop bodyshell on Ebay. Still only 101 quid with just 7 hours to go -argh!

Well, I succumbed to temptation & put a last minute bid in on the green Pop shell of 130 quid -don't worry. I didn't win! It went for 132, so I'm guessing the other guy probably entered a top bid of 150. No matter. I'm taking it as a sign. I'm gonna clear out the bits I've amassed in various people's garages, get the trike & bike done, enjoy riding them & maybe look for an old Brit semi classic to play with sometime next year.

Buy a fibreglass body, find a suitable logbook, (  ), build a new one. My rod parts didn't sell on Ebay. Not a single bid. I had one guy who phoned me 2 hours before the auction ended, trying to barter the price down, & one more since it ended, who wanted just the body. I have a Plan B though. One of Brock's racing buddies is going to buy it all after Christmas to build a stripped down budget dragster. |

Sounds like a good plan, hope the rod parts go... I have thought about a fiberglass body but as I want to cut the rear off and pickup it I would rather work with steel, also I do have a morris 1000 pickup rear cab panel sitting in my shed that needs a home. Also been given this web site for Pop parts http://www.poppartsplus.co.uk and have contacted him.wish I had put a bid on that shell I mentioned now |

Me too. The T would've been great but not very practical for British motoring. A chopped Pop pickup -that's a bit of a mouthful! would be ideal. I converted my Moggy van into a pickup with a repro fibreglass cab back. Steel ones were pretty sought after even then -must be 20 years ago now.
