Ring runner

[lance1a]

Doing a run to the Ring in Sept, so needed a car for under £500 for the challenge. I paid a deposit on this a few years ago, picked it up yesterday. Paint's crap, runs, just. Started sanding and will paint in satin black today. Get it running and strip it out. New top end and new gearbox before being parked up seven years ago.

Wot a job? Have fun with this man. Shuld be a blast.

Brilliant! I'll be keeping an eye on this.

[lance1a]

So now I can't decide....like this with a clear coat, or just black?

[toby]

Satin black the rest of it I reckon. If it looks really terrible surely it's going to attract foreign coppers after an on-the-spot-fine statistic augmenter.

[LeonNewton]

All black. Not hurd a wiser word spoken today than the on the spot fine bit
