Please remove this post as I would be forced to complain

You could be wrong there.

On an episode of Bangers and Cash on Quest TV there was a total wreck of a Mini which went for a huge amount of money because it was a very early one off the production line. That Mini Pickup shell could go for silly money.

About what?

I was just going to post similar points, if he insures it he can park it on the road, it has to be roadworthy to drive it but I would think that he wants it to be roadworthy anyway and who is going to check if it is roadworthy if it is parked.
I would find out who complained and park it in front of his house

They might damage his paintwork

If he has been restoring that for 14 years then I doubt he is going camping in it anytime soon,
He might have been thinking about restoring it for the last 14 years, but I don’t think he has got around to starting the project yet

They better not look in my back garden.

New shiny houses across the road have complained I bet.

To be truthfull id say he lives in a dream world and folk are fed up with the sight of cr-p.

I thought they said he had restored it?

It seems the timescale has been lost in translation. It has been on my driveway for 14 years, and I've spent 2-3 months making it roadworthy.

There's still lots to be done.

You might think so, but the neighbours have been a great support. Not everyone in the area has a private drive, and many would far prefer it was on my driveway rather than taking up valuable parking [spaces.

The photo is a little unfair. The garden was cleared of all debris and rubbish last year after the council's request. It doesn't help that a covenant requires the garden to remain unfenced and most of the rubbish has been dumped from passers by. But hey.

In the court bundle from the council no complaint is mentioned (despite requests for details if one had been made) and even make out they were acting upon their own initiative. They should have made full disclosure to me and the court but haven't done so. In fact the initial article in the local paper is the first admission of a complaint from the council. There have been recent issues with local planning regarding a 2 and 3 story building opposite replacing a single story one, and it is likely either the developers or a new resident / owner who has made the complaint.

It just goes to show what crap the newspapers print. All I trust in a newspaper is the date and the crossword solutions. They are nearly as bad as the BBC for crikeys sake!

Strip down sand blast and start from scratch id say.

Looks like you've got an awful lot to do but good luck with the project

If the guy wants to upset the neighbours get an MOT, Insurance and Tax and park it on the road. There is nothing that can be done about it then.

You would have nothing left if you used a sandblaster on it.
