It's neither cold or damp mate.
Just had a letter from the local housing association -they want to check all the garages to see if they need any maintenance. Hope they don't want to do anything cos I can't move the Pop at the moment, (rear axle location removed), & I'm not leaving it outside or letting anyone blunder about in there without me being there.

I think it should be the other way - you charge them for the maintenance you've done to their garages.
Cheers for the pipes the other day as well, will get them on at some point

Yeah, they get them back in better condition than they were before  The exhausts were just spares -you're welcome. I appreciate you giving Tom a hand with my bike |

Can it be true? That I hold here, in my mortal hand, a nugget of purest Green?
Gave the bulkhead a coat of the green stuff this evening. Stupidly though, I thought today's Spring sunshine would be sufficiently warm for painting, rather than closing the garage door & turning the heaters on as I've been doing up to now. So although it looks O.K in the photo, it's very orange peely. No problem -it'll wet sand out, but I'll leave it a day or 2 to harden off before attacking it with wet & dry.
I also sprayed a couple of smaller parts, which are now hung from the roof to dry.

Surprised you didn't remove the windscreen, but then again remembering what a pain it can be to fit without breaking and the hassle of getting a new one cut, perhaps leaving it in is better course of action.
Looking rather nice.

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

I really, really wanted to remove both screens & lift the body off the chassis, but the glass really was a pig to fit -I think it's on windscreen number 4 so far, & the rear one took 4 people to fit. I know -it should've been easy. It wasn't. Lifting the body with glass in place would almost certainly crack it, so it's all staying put for now. I'm going to lacquer the paint, (shouldn't have to with cellulose, but the guy who painted the fuel tank did, so now I need to try & match his finish), so I'll try to seal around the edges of the rubbers with lacquer. If I ever break another screen I can mask it up & paint it then As I said, more orange peely than the main body, but I'll leave it a couple of days to harden before sanding. Cellulose does sink a little as it "gasses off", so may improve a little! I'd like to get the final paint on during next week's predicted warm weather if I can. |

I was ferreting through old forum posts earlier & came across these shots of Mr Lunatic spraying the trunk & engine bay of Taz's Charger 8 years ago. It took 2 litres of paint -the same amount I've put on the whole Pop cab so far |
