since im banned ive decided I wanna get my car mint for getting my license back so ive stripped the seats out, subs, amp, cd player. gonna shampoo and clean all the interior so its mint. gonna save like mad for a re spray also so im gonna sort the body work out before it goes.
anyone got any ideas what else i can do seeing as the car is gonna be off the road for a bit??
also givin it a good service inc timing belt kit.

Id sell it and get a low insurance grouped car for when your ban is up.
After a yr or 2 then id think about getting something with a bit of performance again without being skint due to insurance.

sell car and buy a push bike, don't bother re-applying for license if you've been banned so quickly.
