You lot really know how to dampen a guy's enthusiasm don't you.  It's still very tempting to just bung glass & an engine in it & run it exactly as it is. Just 2 tatty old leather seats & a steering wheel & nothing else. A pickup is what I really want though, but it seems like more & more work the more I discuss it with people. Brock keeps telling me I need to think about over steer & under steer & camber & trail & Gawd knows what else, & that I should design & build a whole new chassis. I just want to stuff the Consul engine in & drive it. Having purloined a matching Consul rear axle from Janie & Dave, Mr Brock now reckons the Sherpa van one I've got in my lockup would be better geared for the 15 or 16" wheels I plan to use, (Consuls use 13"s). It'd also mean I'd have the same bolt pattern on all 4 wheels as I still intend to use the Sherpa's disc braked front beam. |

http://www.northernhotrodclub.com/page6.htm#Have a look at this Pop. This is exactly what I'd like to do with mine, except with a column shift Consul motor, plated & Z'ed original chassis & beam front end.

Yup, until Shaun's & mine are done anyway.  I'll try that Shaun so I can keep the pics for future reference. |

No Shaun, no sticker pics via email yet. Captain Spanner Fingers was going to take a shot of a sticker in the window of his Pop too, but hasn't yet. No reason why we can't use Bobcat -as long as you don't want commision! I took a few snaps of it at the Hopfarm but feel free to take a better one. Yep, if you've got the Pop pickup pics, could you email them to me please. |

Same here. My day off tomorrow but doing my own delivery on overtime. Thought I'd be a few quid better off next week but now the strike will wipe that out. And mine will be the prettiest Pop!  |

Got your sticker photos Shaun. Thanks. Will get the Merchandise Page updated accordingly.
Tazzie & I borowed a van from Captain SpannerFingers yesterday & drove halfway across the World -well, deep into darkest Wales anyway. "Zed" from the BritChopper forum was selling some Moggy Minor parts & thanks to a shout from PantherShaun I was able to buy a steel Moggy pick up cab-back & roof section for 40 quid. Shaun wants the roof to replace the vinyl panel in his own Pop project & I wanted the cab back, so we went halves.
Zed & his good lady Jill turned out to be very nice people. I'm hoping they'll send in some pics of their Yam Wild Star chop & ongoing Panther project with Norton belt drive conversion. We left Basingstoke at around 7 in the morning, collected the parts from Wales, stopped off for a little sight-seeing & a bag of chips on the way back & finally got home at 10 last night. So we just dumped the cab panel at Lunatic's yard, where my Pop's in temporary storage. I nipped back after work today & took a quick piccie for you.
We measured it up & although it looks wider, the Moggy part's actually 2 inches narrower than the relevant bit of the Pop body. So hopefully we can tweak it to suit. Some rust damage, but all the important bits are intact & it's not bad for 20 quid. I've also got the original Moggy glass, (but not the rubber), so will probably keep the full size rear window when we chop the roof.

Here's the same panel fitted to a Pop, but with a modified rear window.
