I guess we'd better start making a list for him.
He'll obviously need some idea before he meets with the bank manager.

Nice !
I like the wheels in gold.
Here are 2 very cheap improvements you can do right away....
1 - peel off tha warning sticker from the screen.
2 - get some solvol on those downpipes.

Yeah, not had chance for a 'proper' clean yet, as in polishing etc.
I'd not even noticed the warning sticker yet!
I was getting excited about doing the cans and a tail tidy, but had a think and decided to source a shock first. Just ordered an 03 RSV shock, triangles and dog bone.
Like the stealth-ish stock can volume, but the airbox don't half drown them out!
Cheers for the comments, it's definitely a credit to it's former owners.
A good dowsing in GT85 or similar is on the cards too.

Why ?
Is that for rust protection? I wouldn't bother until the winter as WD or GT just attract dirt. May I suggest ACF50 for this job once the roads get mucky.

Looks great - how did you source your 03 shock and linkages so quickly.

Were the bricks the resulting product of the tom-tit stop ?
