Definitely a little too close for comfort. He kept going, but I bet he stopped out of sight around the corner till he stopped shaking!

 My day off today & I journeyed to Frinton on Sea in Essex to pick up a Ford Pop front axle for the next project, (actually a spare as Mr Poprodder's already donated one, but this one came with front spring, shackles & wishbones too). While I was there, the seller showed me a bunch of Morris Minors in his back garden -spares for the one he's restoring. I ended up buying the front roof section from this one for 5 quid. He cut it off with an angle grinder while I waited. I've been looking for a metal panel with a good double curviture to form an inner roof skin for the Pop. Can't use a flat sheet cos we'd lose several inches of headroom. I want to upholster it in the tuck n roll material & bolt it between the "rollcage" tubes in the cab to form a suspended headlining. Might just do the job.

Even if it's not quite right, it will be a good starting point. Looks like the centre strip was cut out for a lowered moggy. |

Word for word what I said to the chap Dave!
The missing strip was cut by his son for his own last project, a Moggy Traveller converted into a pick-up. Travellers have longer doors than vans & pick-ups, so he needed a fill-in strip for the roof. Bet the panel I've got will prove to be that much too short for the Pop!

Perusing the interweb this morning, I came across the Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow site -yes, I was looking for car websites, honest. Below the write-up on the Pagani Huayra super car was a piece on a certain bare metal pick-up truck. http://www.sucksqueezebangblow.co/They write: Welcome to SuckSqueezeBangBlow's least informative post ever!
Um, yeah, I don't know a whole lot about this car. Aside from the fact that it rocks rather hard, obviously. It was parked up at the recent New Malden Krispy Kreme meet, casually detached from the main car park and drawing the crowds away with its menacing bare-metal allure. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are what really catch the eye - the 'M' motif beneath the rear window, for example, and the complex monkey on the nose. It's clearly a labour of love, and having rifled through MMM's excellent website and forum, it's evidently the work of obsessive enthusiasts. I'll report back when I know more.

Spent the afternoon valeting the Pop ready for Loony & Chris to take it to the Romsey vintage meet on Boxing Day. "Valeting" involves wire brushing it & wiping the gungy WD40 residue off. Just a couple more trips to do before the end of the year, then it'll be off the road for 3 months. I've got a big list of jobs I'd like to do while it's laid up, but I bet I don't get half of them done.
