Progress is coming along nicely....

Yeah was quite easy brad. the frame is very well built, everything bolted on reasonably easy.

Getting it in the car was a different story :oops:

what year model mota is that?
Can you still fit the chrome slatted grille to the front, even tho the engine mount is protruding?
Is there going to be a bar accross the front of the subframe?

looks BRILLIANT btw.

I wanna do this tomorrow!!!
help me.. send me all the pics you can!!
The minister of finance is very dubious about this idea I need support!!!

Fairly certain it's a MK2 engine........ yes the grill will fit and there is a removable brace bar that runs across the front of the frame.

do you think this conversion would make a good daily driver? I roughly travel 150 km's a day.
I suppose you need to make some covers for the alternator and motor under the guards to stop the water from splashin all over the donk?
