Tarting up old pedals
Discussion
I needed a pair of pedals for the Ridley Oval track bike and there were a couple of pairs of cheap used Shimano PDR540s in my garage, so rather than splash out on new pedals I fitted a pair of these. They are scuffed and scratched but in perfect working order so tonight I decided to clean them up.
I started by removing the rear sprung part and the plastic sole plate, I then used wet & dry grade 400 to remove the original paint and any cast marks that were hidden by the paint, then a rub over with wet & dry grade 1000 and next grade 2000 which makes the polishing up with Solvol Autosol a 5 minute job

Is that a Rover 12 ?
Looks remarkably similar to my fathers Rover 12 which was one of his very 1st cars. I remember it slowly rusting on the drive before being moved to the garage to be stored as a retirement project. He's been retired a while now and has an XK150 so I dont see the 12 project starting anytime soon.
