Well I'm 40 (****) in August so will be a bit disapointed if it's not running before then

Too many people underestimate just how much work, time, stress and money a big build is when doing it yourself.
Keep plugging mate, your time will come.

cheers Frayz, you are spot on...just putting starting to put the center peices of the interior together last night took almost three hours. All I really wanted to do was go ride my bike
Fingers crossed, it will be epic when its finished
I fully appreciate the time and effort that go into a big build along with saving up and searching for parts too....... I doff my cap to anyone who has a crack instead of handing it to someone to do it for them

Looks cracking though Will; it's going to be a proper flying fridge...love the brothel red parts too
Cheers fella! Yeah, it was a bit gutting, but gave me a great template to recreate from..... with more red envolved obviously! :-)

haha, yeah i did the same! But as well as needing something to get to the woods, i also wanted something i could do uplifts in and cart the motos around in ..... always wanted a brat and having the fire was a perfect excuse to need another little runaround! ..... unfortunately i bought a goodun which warranted having some money thrown at it so the wife has fallen in love with it and its officially her runabout now! :-(

I've put as much back together as I can while I'm waiting for the rest of the interior but camera is still on fox cub duty at my parents so here are the photos Wicked Coatings sent me...




Matches the interior perfectly with the grey alcantara and black leather but like i said; Marmite
