...You mentioned respringing once before -what exactly does that entail Kev? ...
A paper clip for visual checks and 4 screws to change the spring. 5-10 minutes normally per spring cnange. Paperclip tells you how much ,and which way, you need to change . Standard jetting is in fact a little bit rich for a stock Rover but should balance with a high flow filter . It's all in what creates the flat spot, as I've mentioned before could still be timing WITHIN the dizzy at Rovers should be checked at 3 different rpm. A cheap and cheerful tach would be beneficial, I've nothing laying around that will work with points though. I always work in a cost effective manner, ie make sure what you have is functioning correctly before throwing money at trying to fix anything. |

Makes sense Kev -not that anything else on this build has been done the cheap, or logical way.
Been helping Mr Brock re-roof his workshop in Wiltshire today, so no Poppin' I'm afraid. I did nip over to Surrey afterwards though to see Mr Dslam. After spending some time admiring the lovely little 350cc Douglas motorcycle he's just finished restoring, (a truly beautiful thing Andy, you should be very proud), I collected the brass MMMotors plaque Old Newbie acid etched for me recently. Dslam's nickel plated it, & a very nice job he's done too. It'll mount on the bulkhead in the engine bay of the Pop.
Rubbed over with a little black boot polish to bring out the details.

Rods n Sods forum: that DUEL truck is amazing!! best film ever! hope to see it at some events this year
also loving the bagged galaxy wagon, red 57 ranchero and the bare metal pop pickup!Retro Rides forum: A lot of awesome cars. Hard to pick a favourite.
The Pop hot rod truck caught my eye thou, specially since I'm not into hot rods at all. I think when done right they are really a perfect base.Boasting? Yeah, why not once in a while.  Had a phone call from Dave Biggadyke, editor of Custom Car magazine this afternoon. May be writing a little piece on putting the Pop through the SVA test for them at some point. |

Sorry. At least I can justify it by sharing the glory with my co builder, Mr Loon.

You only say sorry when you don't achieve what you set out to do.
What you have done is is something thousands have failed to do.
And that is to complete a project.Well done enjoy it.
