Like the idea. Totally bonkers of course.  |

Of course.
I haven't even got room in the cab to stow a jacket, so obviously it makes complete sense to remove the load space too.

Nipped over to Cardiff today & collected the doors.
Ifan refused to take any payment, so in the end they just cost £50 for the van rental. I'd describe them as a good solid, workmanlike job. Not show finish, but perfectly useable. Lots of odds & ends to tidy up though & some rust repairs to do, so while I had the van I dropped them at Loony's workshop. He'll pick up where Ifan left off while I try & get the damn chassis painted -I really need to be able to fit the doors wide open & carefully close them to see where they'll contact the bodywork, (I know there'll be a couple of places). That means rolling the Pop out of the garage, which I can't do until I've painted the chassis & re-installed the rear axle.

Just received the insurance renewal quote for the Pop.
£185 fully comp' from Adrian Flux.
That's half what I pay for my Ford KA.

So, having suffered a serious loss of mojo recently, I haven't been in the garage, other than to drop off or collect parts, for nearly a month. Just couldn't be bothered to struggle in the cold weather. Trouble is, without that work/garage/sleep routine, I've been completely lost. Didn't know what to do & been bored stiff.
So I put in a couple of hours this afternoon, just to re-acquaint myself with it all. Not much achieved, but flatted back about half of the chassis, ready for one more coat of black. God I'll be glad when it's done.

Sorry I didn't get over on Thursday, I discovered I had a leaking garage roof and had to repair that. Still it was a nice day to be up there.

Yeah nothing to really worry about. But it was nice to to do it in the warm sunshine.

Apparently it's been a really nice day today. I wouldn't know -I've been laying under the Pop in the garage, rubbing runs out of the chassis paint. My lock-up's in permanent shadow -I had to put the heaters on when I got there this morning & by the time I was ready to paint this evening the sun had gone down & it was too cold again  |

Warmest February day ever apparently.
Still needed the heaters on in the lock-up this afternoon though.
A fresh coat of black sprayed on the chassis & half of it down my throat & up my nose I think. Seems my mask has reached the end of it's life cos all I can taste now is paint.
I've only seen one run in it so far, but I'm sure there'll be more when I look at it in daylight.
I'll be so glad when this is done & I can start bolting stuff back together
