'05 Speedfight 2

I'm new to the forum and just went to pick up my ped before. It's an '05 Speedfight 2, with 2.5k miles on the clock, which I got for £180.

I'm not gunna lie, it does need a few things done to it like:
-New rear brake lever
-Fill/smooth panels
-Clock surround re-fitted
-New battery

Thats all I can think of for now, not gunna go mad on it because dont have much money to spend on it, the plan is to tidy it up and make it a good commuter

Few pics from when I got it home



Any ideas are more than welcome, I know it needs a clean

same plans as me mate although mins an nrg

 

Yeah I had a read of yours just before I put this thread up haha

 

LOL Welcome btw

 

Got some pics of the damage, doesn't look too bad on pictures but some are quite deep, wondering whether to have a go at filling and smoothing them myself and then spraying them, or whether just to bite the bullet and buy new ones when I've got a bit more money....



Also found out I have a Technigas exhaust and braided front brake lines, although no pics of the brake lines:


And here she is in her new home

 

that dmag is nothing mate i have holes and cracks

 

yeah I saw your pics, mines fixable definitely, and not on the road til next month sometime so have got time to fill it, woudn't wanna be messing around with fiber glass though so any ideas on what I could fill them with?

 

you could just use filler mate and i think there is something called plastic filler try that mine is fixable too just a different amount of work needed

 

Stupid question but would polyfilla like you use on walls work?

 

just buy the propa stuff its like £5 ...not sure i supose it would but why risk fuckin them up

 

no think that absorbs water

 

oh yea it will come off in the rain because it is waterbased

 

got a link for it bud?

 

nice project right here cant wait to see how it turns out!

also you should fix the panels up...its not that bad of a damage...

 

cheers mate yeah gunna try fix the panels up, it's just a matter of when I get the money to, I know £5 doesnt sound a lot but I'm still in school, only working saturdays, and habits dont help the matter haha

 

No thanks matey, just gunna keep it simple, less to go wrong that way, the only time the engines gunna be unbolted under my ownership (hopefully!) is when I get the new piston and rings

By the way, what did yours do to you if you don't mind me asking?

 

damn mate :/ the positive thing is that you are alive and healthy now

 

Not updated this in ageeeees! Well long story short, the pug got killed by a puddle and is now having a full top end rebuild, which may then lead to it being sold, or I may keep it if I get my old job back will keep you updated!

Today I've smoked the indicators, which IMO makes it look so much better, also spraying black the chrome surround (not the bit that the light reflects off) on the awful lexus style tail light
