Fitted new stainless body mount bolts then bolted the black coated kick panels on. These fill the gap between the chassis & door sills because the body's channelled about 4" over the chassis. I can't remember if these were fitted when the Pop was last on the road, but they'll stop road muck being thrown up onto the bottoms of the doors.

Oh, & I picked up some genuine Trico windscreen wiper blades at a Vintage Sports Car Club race meet a few weeks ago. The old ones had perished. Spent an hour carefully cutting them down to length today & fitting them.

A couple of silly little jobs this evening.
Simon the pinstriper was going to paint some lettering on the stainless jacking plate I made to protect the chassis paint, but after his untimely death I had to retrieve it from his workshop. So I've used some self adhesive lettering instead, bought on a sheet from an online craft shop for a couple of quid. I've clear lacquered the plate to try & protect them from the weather.
Yes, I know it's upside down! -the lacquer was still wet.

I used a smaller size of the same letters to mark these dashboard warning lights. They sit side by side at the bottom of the speedo, where the fuel gauge would normally be. One's the handbrake warning light & the other's the fog light.

Owww. Give her my regards mate. x
Warning lights refitted in the speedo. I had to file a flat on each one so they could butt up together to squeeze in the space I had. So I've dabbed some black paint between them to try & stop them both illuminating when one comes on. I'm sure I'll read them as "if" every time I look at them.
The speedo's an unused old stock Morris one, which I had recalibrated by Speedy Cables in Wales. In the year that the Pop was on the road, back in 2013, I covered roughly 4,500 miles, so I asked them to wind the odometer onto that, so it'll show the true mileage it's done as a pick-up.
I made the surround & had it chromed locally.

Lettered & lacquered jacking plate bolted to the chassis.
Because the frame's Z'd, this is the only point you can jack the back end up from. I'm hoping it'll save some MOT mechanic shoving a trolley jack under the chassis & destroying the paint I've spent so long on.
