Still a git. Makes sense, which is the annoying bit. Still 2 days left on it, so hopefully it'll sky rocket beyond temptation by then. Would be cool though wouldn't it -a Manky Monkey Motors truck. Hmmm.

Thought you would be in bed by now  , yes it is a silly idea, but aren't all the best ones stupid  if you built a rod truck you could sell the fiesta and have a really cool everyday driver, but I'm really not helping am I. I will retire into the background and let the ebay auction run its course, time will be the decider.

Was just passing, thought Id throw this in there to think about!  And if you sold the T body for a couple o hundred notes you would be up by 100 quid. Flog the van next and its pretty much paying for itself!

Now that pic makes me feel old! My first car was one of those (well mine was an Anglia) but without the mods of course! I was 17 at the time (it's while ago) and it went like a rocket! Well it would do 70 which was pretty good as my previous transport was a Honda C50. But when it started pumping oil out on top of the block it seemed a good time to part company so I chopped it in for a Moggy 1000 which was quite sophisticated in comparison!
I'd have loved to have my old black sit-up-and-beg looking like that one tho!

Spoke to Brock by email last night & he's talked me out of buying the Pop bodyshell. He's right, it'd be a major project & Ii just can't take on any more at the moment. Can't afford the ones I've got. It's still on Ebay, (the sale ends at 9.15 this evening), for 101 quid, so I shan't torment myself by watching it! So, I've decided to offload my hotrod project. Just can't afford to do it & it's sat there, in various garages, not moving, just gathering dust & getting in the way -a bit like Flap. As Brock said, I'd be better off flogging all the bits & buying something drivable. Anyone want to buy this lot: Pop Browns fibreglass '27 T roadster body, unused. Basic steel box section chassis to suit. 5 core radiator. Fibreglass rad shell. 4 litre straight 6 AJ6 Jag engine, (was running fine when it came out of the car but been stood outside for a year). 3 speed auto gearbox. Part stripped Sherpa van to provide front beam axle with disc brakes, rear axle, prop & steering box etc. Pair of repro Austin Chummy seat bases. New Morris Oxford speedo + spare. Morris Minor banjo type steering wheel. Set of 4 steel black taxi cab wheels, (worn tyres fitted), to suit Sherpa bolt pattern.
Think that's the lot. I want to get rid of all this on Ebay as a job lot as soon as I've got some photos of the body. Anyone got any idea what it's worth?
