What colour is the bodywork going to be? I almost selected Get the dam thing done

(:-})

Proper hot rod, red wheels & white walls, but for best effect you need spoked wheels. You sticking blue spots in the tail light as well?

[thumperslaw]

Black frame with bare alloy tank
Dull alloy stacks and casing
No other body work apart from that

Red wheels would look cool (maybe)

[VTRDark]

Yeh a bit of colour would be nice but you need an ally mudguard as well

Got alloy front mudguard

So got the sub frame sorted kinda, need to make some shock mounts up again and clean the welds up.
Apart from spraying it black am happy with the way it looks so far

More of the sub frame got the grinder


Mock up test

Busy day working on the shock mounts and sub frame again

The seat pan is made!
All I need to do is paint the sub frame to stop it rusting and get some seat foam

[AMCQ46]

Is that an old FIAT X1/9 lurking in the back ground?

I had a T plate one when I was in my early 20s, great fun but it spent as much time being welded and having the engine rebuilt as it did on the road!...must have been the start of my habit for hairdressers cars

Tonight i've been messing around with wiring and removing lots of it. Wired the rear light and hide all wiring going to it.

Not sure what to do about the water header tank yet tho.... I've got a idea tho, along the lines of some vintage oil can...... I'll keep you posted
