This is their shiny new shotblasting cabinet. Made in Wales. Cost a fortune but they're very proud of it. Big enough to blast a car chassis in.

Yeah, they've tried a cheap Chinese brand, but it only lasted 2 years before falling apart.

I was employed by someone to build one from a shipping container. His idea, my skillset. It was good but very noisy to work inside. I used to worry about the "grey" men that exited it at the end of a shift  |

Yeah, they used to have one the same. They used to have a big rubber mallet hung by the door - "For attention, bang on door with mallet". Boom, boom, boom -there'd be a pause, then the huge steel door would heave open & a hulking figure in leather apron, big gauntlets & a leather hood would appear through the swirling dust -"ello"  |

Help me out please chaps. I know I've posted a link here somewhere to a YouTube video of BayChimp & I driving the Pop at the Chelsea Cruise in 2013. It was 2 1/2 minutes into the video. I know I've emailed or texted it to someone in the last few days, but I'm buggered if I can find it now.
There were also several short clips of the Pop when we first got it running at Loony's workshop taken by either Terry or Olds I think. Am I going mad & just imagining them?!

Yes. Were they your clips Tel?
Clive, I'm not sure I've seen that one before! Not the one I was thinking of though. There's another that must've been taken moments before that, as we were turning out of Battersea Park & towards the bridge. I can't find it anywhere.

Dashboard frame back from the powder coaters.
Annoyingly, there's one old bolt hole left in it that I forgot to get welded up. No-one's ever going to see it -why do things like that annoy me so much?! Yes, I'll probably end up filling it & touching it in with paint.

Also got the steel pick-up bed back. It's been blasted & given a coat of etch primer to protect it.

It's in a real state though. I chopped it about & modified the front corners while it was on the truck, in the pouring rain outside Loon's farmyard workshop. Slapped some filler over it to straighten it out, but now it's been blasted clean, it's horrible.
