hi there ( S W ) , as I watched yourself " checkin' - out ' your ride , in the garage / driveway . The time stood still ( for me ) as I went back ( a half century + ) when I had similar experience s s s . My heart went out to as I watched the " mayhem unfold " . With ( loosely fitted mechanical connections ) , if at all . Your " prepped body work " getting shunted , by your own undoing . ( SORRY S.W. ) , I could only sit & watch ( been there / done that ) , BUT , " it's that first sign of ( mechanical ) LIFE ! " . It's a childish ? ( dare I say ) verging EXPERIENCE ! That's the sheer joy of creating ( mechanical ) LIFE ! . GOD BLESS YOU , keep - up the great work , from Sydney , Australia ( 05/07/'24 ) C.S.
Hi there! Oh exactly, and I have had many experiences like this but it's what keeps my work fun, exciting, varied. I've learnt from mistakes and think it's what's helped me get to where I am today. Thanks for watching and enjoying the content! Simon
Space. Kids. Funds. From selling this vehicle I was able to fund the red Austin 7 car (plug: video in my channel!!) so yes, sad to go but moved on to good things. (The kids not just the cars!)
Hi, I used the standard Ford Pop front axle with an MGB disc brake conversion. An used an MGB axle on the back. Good luck with your project, they're fun to do!
@@swcreations I’ve got the same issue at the farm shop with the led lights. I was toying with replacing all my workshop lights but I don’t want the same issue at home in the workshop. If I record anything with my phone I find 30 fps doesn’t flicker but if you pan around the footage isn’t smooth, I’d also much prefer to use my camera. I’ve also noticed that not all LED bulbs cause the problem which leads me think that there’s possibly a variance in performance? I’m wondering if there’s a new camera on the market that has a light setting specifically for LED 🧐
@@trevsblog @swcreations Hi I noticed this too. You can try to adjust the Hz record rate on your camera to suit the frequency of your mains power supply. In aus and UK it’s 50hz, so just try that. A lot of devices will default to the US 60hz and can result in flickering. And a cool pop build too !

Looked so cool, I've never seen it at any shows?😊
Ive driven my own car into my own car twice now. I now aspire to driving a chassis into its removed body. Thanks for adding from the archive.
It only counts if on caught camera!
I hope you had a VERY good reason to sell that! You should try to buy it back 😅

What front suspension and brakes? Such a cool build. I am looking to do a very similar build with a ford flathead v8

Would love a customised ford pop. Had one 30odd years ago but done nothing with it. Got sold without me knowing ☹️
Ahh, that is a shame, get another one and I'd love to follow your progress! Do it!
Great video Simon I really enjoyed the build. Strange question… are you using LED lighting in your workshop?
Thanks Trev yes I am, and my ceiling is quite low. I don't know how to stop the flickering
