Well its been a up and down few weeks, and decided to pull her from sale, Ive bitten the bullet and decided to Pay someone to change the Flywheel back to the OBD 2 unit which should be in her as she recently has not bin liking to start from cold an im not going to sell someone a car runing like that. Anyway i thought id treat her to a 3 stage Megs treatment to try and find the love back with the car. 1st 2 pics are after a detox, then the next a 2 polished then the next sealed with carnauba wax.

that bike is about 30 years old! good effort Gav, I'm sure there's some aerodynamic advantage with a car that shiny.
