I find the 19J brisk. It's ok in normal traffic conditions, and will just about get to an indicated 70 mph.

The RHS front wing was dented in several places, so with the outer wing removed to repair the bulkhead I thought I'd try some basic panel beating (2lb lump hammer and block of wood!).

Next jobs, rear spare wheel carrier and an electric winch.
