I have just paid a deposit for a new steel shelled busa racer from Z-cars and bought a new K8 Hayabusa.
After a short demo from Chris it just had to be :)

I have started my build we have just moved home so its took a while to get going.
I dont have my new garage built yet so I am working from a gazebo :strongsad: next to an old pigsty
First job was to get the shell in the garden

Hi Allan, I'm not too clever with these Honda Hayaboosa mini things, but why do you need a ladder to get up into the car? If that's the ride height, can i suggest you may want to invest in a good quality set of Hi-Lo's like Moulten Smoothyriders. Thay are a fantastic way of lowering the car down to a more accessible height for short arses. Good luck with the garden by the way. Gary.

looking good. Will you need to take the frame out again to paint the shell, or will you paint it with the frame in?
