Trying to lean nonchalantly on the front of the Pop, but it rolled backwards just as the camera shutter clicked -so actually me about to fall over!  |

 I've got no co-ordination at all. I'm amazed I can ride a motorcycle without ending up in a heap on the ground. I can trip over, fall off or walk into just about anything. So trying to look cool never works for me. The doors aren't the originals -actually, I've forgotten what happened to those. I think we scrapped them or they went into Loon's spares stash. I bought these from someone on Ebay because we weren't very happy with our chop job on the originals. These are chopped by 4". My roof's chopped by between 3 & 3 1/2, so I had to add a strip of steel into the roof above them. I think the lower window height looks more in proportion with the front & rear screens anyway. They looked fine, but when I stripped the filler off, weren't any better than ours.

I've cut a square access hole to fit the mirrors & added a strip of steel along the bottom, (the body's "channelled" -dropped over the chassis, so the door cards can't go any lower than the chassis line). Then I moved the interior door handle back a bit to be more comfortable to use & fitted modern door latches.
The interior trims look like bakelite but are steel so can be cut n shut to fit. They also have 1/4 lights built into them, which I'd like to use.

Yeah, I prefer gloss, but the bodywork's not as straight as it looks in photos & a flat finish will help to disguise that & will be easier to touch in if it gets damaged. I also think it suits a truck.
Just received confirmation from the Gormandizers car club in Northern France of my entry in their "Cry Baby" show in June, so I'd better crack on & get this finished.
