I can move the hinge points for the quarter lights further back to make them a useable size. Just something to play with later in the year.

This Pop was at a local car meet yesterday. For a moment I thought it had quarter lights, then realised they're wind deflectors fitted to the outside of the doors.

Should've gone matey. A very pleasant afternoon. We'll take a gentle trundle out there in the Popular later in the Summer shall we?

Yeah, all of about 6 miles -if it breaks down we can push it there -well, you can, I've got a bad back. I was chatting to the owner of the blue Pop & told him I had one. He said I s'pose you're one of them 'otrodders. Bet you've ruined it with a big V8. -Yeah. And I've cut it in half.  |

You should have said, s'pose your one of those restorers, and have left that piddly side valve in it.

Looks to be in a damn sight better condition than my shell was/is. 300 quid at the moment. Wonder what it'll go for.

Only one bid, so it went for 300 quid.
I've had a month or so of heavy colds, migraines, back aches & Gawd knows what else, so don't seem to have made any progress at all on the Pop. I've been filling & rubbing down the grille shell for ages, but I've only actually put about 3 days into it. Thought I had it just about straight so blew it over in a coat of high build primer this evening -which immediately showed up just how wonky it still is. I'll spend another day on it, then it'll do. It's supposed to be a more or less daily driver, not a show car after all.
As you can see from the For Sale photo above, standard Pop grilles are square around the bottom edge. We've added sweeping curved sections up either side which flow into the body because we haven't used the original inner or outer wings.

As you say Andy, it's supposed to be a driver.
It's all too easy, to get fixated on getting an individual part, perfect.
Looks pretty damned good in the pics.

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
