At least its moving in the right direction
Should move a bit faster with the engine fitted.  Keep at it Andy. I know it's not easy working outside with the weather we've been having. |

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

We've had a bit of a shuffle round of vehicles & now I can roll the nose of the Pop into the workshop, with the tarpaulin clamped to the shutter door to form a temporary tent, so at least I can work more or less in the dry.
A late day at work for me today so I ended up rubbing the last of the filler on the A panels & roof down, almost by Braille in the moonlight -it looks spot on in the pitch black.

Everything thing looks better in the dark. So only take it out at night.

Only joking,once it drys and with a little daylight it will only take a skim coat to sort it. |

That's the plan.
Just paid for the accommodation for our Dutch trip, so we're all sorted now -just need a vehicle to go in.

Yeah, Loony has some stopper for the pin holes, but hopefully the filler-primer will do the same job. Can't spend too much time on this, but I hate seeing posh paint jobs over poorly prepped bodywork. As long as it's tidy & doesn't look like we've bodged it I'll be happy!

Bit of a panic this morning -I woke up suddenly convinced the insurance had run out on the Pop. Couldn't remember renewing it back in February, (damn my goldfish memory), & don't have any paperwork as it's all done online. Just spent the last hour frantically searching through hundreds of emails. Eventually found it -phew! 270 quid, fully comp' if you're interested.
I haven't got a printer but will get it printed out, along with the e-ticket for the ferry etc, before we head to Holland.
Off to the workshop now in a more peaceful state of mind!

Nothing better for getting the old juices flying around the body and the pump pumping then waking up in a panic, I think we've all been on that trip |

 Still got to MOT & tax it in the next 3 weeks, but couldn't afford to insure it as well in that time. A little bit more rubbing down to do, but hopefully Loon can put a coat of 2 pack filler/primer on the bulkhead tomorrow. If we can get the engine back in by the weekend, we'll hopefully still be on track. Pressure? What pressure?! I laugh in the face of danger & blow raspberries at pressure, for I am Manky!

Be able to take advantage of the monthly pay as you go tax though mate. Saves having to find a big lump straight off

That's true Archie. I hadn't thought of that. I wonder how quick & easy that is to set up? Not sure the DVLA can be trusted with my bank details, but it would be handy.

Just done it for my car Andy.
Its a doddle on their website. You set it up at renewal and you are covered by the DD guarantee.
I doubt they are any more or less likely to screw up that the gas, lecci or BT!

Okey doke. I'll give it a go once we've got an MOT. Got a link to the relevant DVLA page?
