those engines they used are almost impossible to find same as the parts of it
if you would find it ... not sure if the swao would be wise

same engine in bases and all similair mods can be done with other parts .... so

but its cool as hell

yeah thats the main thing, looks cool
and packs quite a punch ^^

almost forgot to mention it here but i ordered apex lowering springs > 35mm , i messured it and it should really fill the arches just perfect and still maintain drivability

in other words i think (read hope) it will look stunning ....

hope they arrive soon .. then its fitting them and shortening the ori bumpstops a bit so the ride wont be bouncy
you guys would not believe what big as bump stops this car has (factory stuff)

then its also so that when they are on it needs to settle and after sitting and driving it it will become a bit lower then when they are just fitted

ps had so much fun with the car , its suprisingly fast and nimble and not to mention the cornering speeds
already had a whole bunch of cars that didnt keep up with me
not like i'm racing all the time but when the road lets me and there is a car who wants to play .... oohh well

most fun was a guy in a porsche boxter who looked in his mirror and gunned it .. i did the same and didnt close the gap but he didnt made it much bigger either
at the next lights i was on the left side to go left and he in the lane for straight on , he looked and smiled ..

or a alfa who drove slow and when i overtook him started to gun it i clicked one back and smoked him

just fun to gun it every now and then .. no over the top high speeds but fast sprints / rolling sprints

Memory is getting weary from all your hard work mate?

yep but i got a good excuse i'm getting pretty old already

and you know old people always tell the same story twice .. multiple times

oooh god i'm starting to act like my mother <_< <_<

whow

but i will take my oldtimer medicine and try to remember what i told already

ps and yes the hard work also will have some influience o.O .. wish i won the lottery and could retire ..
really i have so many timeconsuming hobby's i would not be bored at all

springs will go on the ignis next saturday




here is the progress on my LOW BUDGET chopper build

bought it like this > oldtimer honda cm 250 custom



started stripping



first got rid of all the junk bolted on and ended up with this



painted white on the tank because i flattened and bondo-ed a small dent in the tank



and low budget making a custom gass cap with a center cap from alloy car wheels







traded some stock parts for new handle bars (top + new)







bare bike



start of a custom taillight , made out of an old flashlight and truck lense



new lense



then it really started , using all sorts of old honda parts from different models (all cheap as hell)

brake down and replacing the steering bearings from old ball bearings to more modern rollers











painting the tripple trees









polished the steering brackets



also painted the handle bars





21" front wheel from a honda xl off-road bike bought that from a guy with new front legs for 25€



brakes are gone so gonna order new shoes (drum brakes look so cool )



my polish wheel and some other stuff





polished the some more (was flat alu)



installed the fresh brake shoes





first mock up of the new front wheel , legs need to be altered with a stop block for the drum brake and some bushes
for the axle and center alignment for the front wheel



this block needed to be thicker to hold the drumbrake still , cut of the one from the old legs
and went to forum friends and got it alu welded (cost one case of beer )





front wheel refurbbbbbbbb

custom wheel spacers



painting the lower legs





making upper sleeves from plastic drain pipe









also featuring my mtb and BMX bike in thye back



in between



most expensive buy since the start replica of a famous old triangle headlight







the new bearings to replce the knackered ball bearings



had to press out the old bearing plates out of the frame



made this to puch and pull in the new bearing shells



and they are in





new roller bearings



back together



then i wanted hagon shock , they are specially made to lower the back and are stiff as hell so you can run a low fender
usually cost 200€ , i found these they where disgarded ones because the chrome did not
go right on the springs (tech they are 100%) for only 25€



cut of rear frame and look how low its with the new springs
slammed bike





flattening the front sproket cap thing

now the following is recent i cant work in the winter time because i have a condition with my hands called desize od reynaud = cold and i have no blood going to my fingers and they go nom and white

so its now summer time and i started again

painted the lower engine block black







chopped some more behind the rear shock mounts



this pic shows the bikes stance better , i want to go lower at the front but then i need to either go with clip-on handle bars or alter these on it



thats it for now , building it with ease and building is the fun so i'm in no hurry , always looked for cheap parts ...to customize


btw also painted the hagon shock black yesterday ..


plans >

closed rear wheel (moon disc idea)
green metal flake paint on the tank
customize the tank slightly
bronze / copper details like bushes and bolts
and much more

if you dont like it ou can also say so no problem

Looks rad! Love the progress pics as well, shows the work put in.
Although I'm not really into motorcycles, I found this very interesting
