Been out in my rough running Westy 3 times on school run & a blat out this week Quinten.. you know you want to keep it!

have you sold it Q - or did you drive it to work today and see sense to keep it ??

Mine too

Just in the Nick of time and with one day to spare mine is now winging it's way to Peter

Did a colour change on ours a couple of years back. Considered a body swap but decided to give up on a gelcoat finish. Had it sprayed. TBH, that can cost anywhere from £50 to £5000, depending on many variables. Ours wasn't cheap, comparable to fitting new panels, but we are very happy with the result. I took the opportunity to make some changes like rear lights, new bonnet and move some bits around which added to the cost and complexity, but the pre-paint strip isn't that much work - lot less than a re-body anyway. Worst bit would probably be getting the scuttle off. While I was at it, I also stripped the alloy panels under the scuttle and had them powder coated black - they were looking a bit tired after 20 odd years.

I agree, the blogs section is a useful tool if you want to "archive" something for reference by others at a later date, such as with your heated mirrors upgrade etc. But when building or upgrading, a thread on the boardroom will generate so much more invaluable feedback and input from the other members to help and assist.

Personally I don't think it does, the blog area is not so nice to read and obtain member input from my experience of it

Thank you, I will do better for the next Calender.

Just renewed - thanks again for the club/forum

Ian Yes love 2 strokes , I have had more than a few in my time I sold a rd 350 air cooled a few years ago and regret it. I have a few classics left but don't do much with them although lately I have been thinking about buying a 2 stroke. I have currently buried in various places a 71 Norton Commando , a 56 BSA with a single seat sidecar and a 66 Panther with a sidecar and an old BMW if I remember whose garage I left it in ! Never had a YPVS but just been reading a mag article about them. One day !

found 2 fence panels in my neighbours garden and patio heater in pieces
