Hi all,
Ive just taken some pictures of my ford pop. Its been laid up for about 6 months while i cleaned up and waxoiled underneath. Ive also took the fuel tank down and checked the whole boot/chassis area. All seems ok with no rot anywhere. ( lucky) I should have checked this a while ago, when we got caught out in the flood/rainstorms. ( couple of years back now)
On that particular day one months worth of rain fell in the essex/suffolk area in one day. (Anyone else remember that day too.)
Lets all hope the weather is kinder to us this year. ( my poor vacuum wiper had been working overtime.)
Regards,
Flywheel-(john)

JR that is one of the prettiest Pops I've seen for a while! 
Do you have an oil bath air filter for it? I have one if you ever want one. |

Hello all, Thanks very much for all your kind posts on here. Yes at last he's ready to hit the road, and all safe and legal too.
I know these little motors are not worth a great deal of money, and dont go very fast, but i do remember them from my own childhood. I think it was the shape of them that got me, ive always wanted one. ( funny the things you remember eh.)
Old nail, yes please if you have one going spare, perhaps i could message you. ( if thats ok)
Can i say ive enjoyed looking at all your pictures, projects and updates on here, i try and read as many of them as i can. ( wife permitting  )
regards
Flywheel (john) |

Very Fine indeed!!
How clean it is under the bonnet etc, has there been much work mechanically in the past?
Cheers

Thanks Dave,
I bought the pop in march 1992. My other half spotted it for sale by a local van hire company. It was a runner (but looking grubby as it had been left in the corner of a lock-up) over the years ive probably spent (too much) money on it, tidying up and fiddling about. I took the engine out to be re-built in 2002, and then just went on from there. ( i think we all know how these things go eh guys)
Full engine re-build-complete clutch/flywheel-carb-recon starter motor - fuel pipes,mounts etc, wiring under the dash, then engine bay clean up and paint.
Ive had a great deal of fun with this little car, met some interesting people, and i think ive learned a little bit about the car too.
We will both be 53 this year, so i hope we can keep going for a few years yet. regards flywheel. ( john) |
