Bloody hell! Here's me been trying not to go on about meself but now I can join in and be one among many - getting sciatica and back pain mainly because I need a new orthotic so I'm walking wonky but the NHS mills grind very slow! - and now I've got a bowel infection as well so I'm on antibiotics. Just got through an 8 hour shift at work but I was useless the last hour as my brain turned to mush - thank god I only have another 5 shifts to do before I become officially retired!

Sheesh, what a bunch of malingerers! Obviously I'm the only one in real pain here. You lot are just looking for sympathy!  A second day off work for me -I guess Tramadol doesn't agree with me. Feeling a lot better, just dizzy now, so should be back at work, & working on the Pop, tomorrow. As Spanners says, haven't got time to be ill at the moment. In my absence yesterday, Loony carried on with the passenger door. A couple of words & pics from his camera phone: Door gapped -ish. Now shuts in its hole! Top outer skin cut off and started welding filler piece in. Was supposed to be working on a camper van today, but I broke the jack trying to fill it with oil then it rained, so I decided that god wanted me to do a bit on the pop! |

The top of the door skin's been cut away because it's curve didn't match the curve of the roof.
A lot of cutting & re-welding of the hinges & the A post they attach to on the body means the door now shuts at the right height, so that the swage line matches up with the one on the body.

Filler bit welded to door and body.
Because the new door's chopped by an inch more than the old one, the top edge curved inwards sooner. So I think the plan is to weld in a strip between roof & door top, then cut through it to produce a continuous curve from the door into the roofline. Maybe.

Taz has been dosing me up with various drugs to replace lost fluids & salts & stuff. Among the haul of pills & potions she brought home yesterday was this: ManFluI suspect she's not taking my illness seriously. |

More from the Loony One:
I'm pretty sure Tramadol is a pretty heavy duty pain killer! Like morphine light! Frankie Boyle's last series was called 'tramadol nights'!
Did a bit more on the door, fully welded the filler piece and ground it back. Then cut the new door top so it now opens.

The ManFlu product or Loony's metalworking skills BG?
I kinda like the doors welded up. Gives the bodyshell a nice, rounded look, but would make getting in & out kinda difficult.
