Thought I would show you what im building down in Essex

Image

Wife bought me this in October last year

Image

Cut the rear off which was rotten,welded up the toolbox door and cut off the footboard supports

Image

Shortened the legshield supports and reshaped a set of knackered legshields

Image

Fitted a set of shortened footboards and trimmed up the front mudguard

Image

Just working on the headset and forks at the moment, will put some more pics on as it progresses :lol:

It used to be my sons bed, when he moved out decided to cut that down and turn it into a work table :idea: to build the cutdown on instead of on the floor like the first one i did five years ago ;)

Fitted the engine tonight and had it at least looking like a scooter for the first time

Image

Very happy with how its looking apart from I think I will need to raise the mudguard up a bit
