The future is bright  





Painting the sills, rear valances and rear light panel in matt (50%) black is scheduled for Thursday.
Which means that by the time I return from the 10CR it should be ready and waiting for me in the shed.

Thx, it might be (just) ready by then.
But car will be 40 years old and tax exempt on the 6th of October 2016.
So it won't be back on the road before that.
