Of course you can sweetie. I've got a few spare cars that are all legal for then. And will no doubt have more by then.

Whose got the Beetle?  I'd rock that over the Sierra....

You can talk, I turned up in a Golf last time...

The @TimShadboltfan27 and @SunnyCoupe show?

Hell yes!

Yerp.

Much nippley.

Oh My God, I think Im having a stroke.

Im falling hard down the Honda Ruckus / GY6 repower rabbit hole...

I will bring popcorn......

Easter this weekend, an evening next week might suit better?

Isnt it something stupid like gloss coat, decals (better base for them to snuggle down on), then matt varnish, weathering then another dose of matt?

All sounds a bit convoluted.....

The screen I wanna do has got a beauty of a scratch in it, unfortunately. So do you basically just sand out the scratches, and then just go finer and finer in sand paper until you can polish it clear again with plastic polish?

I have a lot of paint to remove, so was hoping there was some sort of magic paint stripper that didn't melt plastics, haha.   

A brief google suggests if its OEM ABS stuff, youre screwed.  If its dodgy backstreet AliExpress Fibreglass, you might have a few more options.

Ive got some fairings to attack as well so I'm keen on an answer....I dont really want to attack everything with #800 sandpaper.

Plastic modellers use things like brake fluid to strip shells, but Im picking th plastic is different.....but something of that ilk would be handy?

Apologies for being slightly off on a tangent, but man, does this bring back childhood memories:

I really dont understand people that post up on OS "I dont know if I should buy this...."

Just got offered a Gyro from a customer who says he's too old to ride it. I really don't need it, but I kinda want it.

Id do it just to say that you had....then flick on to the next chump.

What were they thinking.....

So is there actually a growing market for damaged leafs (leaves?) to act as donors?  Could we see them being shipped in from overseas?

My own personal tastes would mean range wouldnt really be an issue, I cant imagine any retro classic given the EV treatment would go further than the city limitsd. In most cases would just be for short trips or fun summers day outings.

As it is 95% of our trips these days are for less than 20minutes travel at a time.  At least once a month we'll go to Timaru for the weekend but thats an outlier.

SO was I until mate who is into military vehicles told me how much heavy kit you need if something goes wrong.  Youre talking a completely new workshop.

Is that an incredibly rare Archmedes style carb?

Doesnt as much atomise the fuel as shovel it.
