[FairDoos]

Just a little update:-

Painted the rusty battery plate and it turned out like this..



This is what wonders a BMX hoffman bike grip does only a temp until i get a proper pipe if you wondering what the jubilees are for there to stop the kinking in the "pipe" seen someone else do it much respect for them for giving me the idea!



And this is what my engine looks like now! Sorry for the dark pictures they were taken at dusk with a Nokia C6



Next stop is new lights getting rid of them yellow things then im going to smoke my lights!

Thanks for looking!
