From first glance I knew I wanted to get this. But the gap on the canopy was unacceptable! The other mods were just my preference. Plus I added a crew.

This is the most obvious conversion on this bike. When it was built in the late 1960s or early 1970s this bike would have had an internally geared 3-speed Sturmey-Archer hub. That's gone. Instead it's been built up with this recent Shimano five-speed freewheel. This certainly worked (though it won't now--that freewheel is rusted and shot), but it's hardly true to the original design.
The most annoying part about this is that whoever made this switch must have removed the bike's chain guard, since it wouldn't fit with this new setup. That's a sad loss on such a quintessential road bike.
UPDATE: I've since learned that this bike was almost certainly a five-speed from the start...ironic, given the three-speed setup that I've given it. But this freewheel was certainly a replacement, given both the brand of the derailer and the way that one of the gears is completely unusable.
Sadly I am probably stuck with this forever but maybe in time I'll have 100 bad tattoos instead of 1 for people to harp on :D

Intermediate photo final on body modification.
Shot on film, then scanned prints in for here. Sorry shitty scanning quality.
A grinder and that special bending tool were important tools. The bending tool I could have managed without but it was easy to use and perfect for this.
I decided to mess around a bit in Photoshop and 'pimp' my car. Changes include: lowering the car, darkening windows, larger wheel, changing the colour from grey to metallic red. If you wanto see whar the car originally looked like go see 'Car n the beach'
