Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 14/05/10

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

james man you need to get this loom sorted asap so we can get on with this, too much longness with taking engine in and out again all the time lol cratch:

once the electrics are sorted with that loom then the engine can go back in after its cleaned up and put back together.
id say u really need to get some new rear panels at least cos those are all cracked and cable tied at the back, they wouldnt look very good sprayed itd just be a waste of paint tbh. try and find some which have all the lugs intact for spraying up.

i can see this bike looking really good when its done :thumbsup:

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

Thanks for the comments Guys.

Ive always said 2 myself, its not how it looks but how it goes and thats y im doin the engine first b4 anythin. Ive started 2 clean the engine so it will look alot better wen it goes bk in the bike.

Ive had 2nd thoughts bout the White n Black and thinkin of White n Sumthin Else but i dunno yet, The panels i dont give a fuck about coz im getting a Set of Evo's anyway.

If shox hurry's up and get bk 2 me bout the loom then i can cum pick it up lol and Shox, Its not My Polo, Its my next door's Car, Untaxed since 2006 i fink lol

Just keep an eye on This project, there will b improvements soon, just tryin 2 save for a holiday atm aswell :grin:

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

fancy selling any shit off that polo?

bonnet, front and rear bumper etc? oh and airbox? and exhaust?


project looks good, keep the wheelie bar i recon, your into your whoolies, dont go black and white, standard panels i recon with a nice paint job, no yellow evos to make it look like a banana

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

Got the Engine bk in 2day, Got the whole bike put bk 2geva, took it for a test ride and now it needs a new Water pump, The Bike over heated in like 5mins so looks like i gonna save for a Malossi Crank and have the New Water Pump Fitted at the Same time

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

lol I can't believe after sorting everything out today the waterpumps shot. I recon maybe u should of saved up and got everything done in one hit, bought the lot in one and either we fitted it or got it fitted in one go, would of saved sooooo much hassle lol. At least ur going the malossi crank route ulike me after killing 2 standard cranks :banghead:

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

I Just need 1 tbh, feed up wiv this shithole of a country lol.

Anyway Back on Topic, I goin wiv the Half White, Half Black, Had my mind set on it for ages and cant fink of any other colors that wud go lol

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

any colour thats original would go well :write: .

think about how many colours there are in the world :this: .

pick any colour of a car you like for example and use that.

the half black / half white was on the old bike, its tacky scarface, and has been done to death,

its your bike now, so make it represent you :clapping: ,

you dont want it looking like a rebuilt version of what the previous owner had do you?

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

x 2 on the black/white paint sceem. Done a good job though bruv its lookin good so far :hello:

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

looking good mate one think i must say is the wheelie bars pointing high, the bit that bends next to the oil take is supposed to follow the frame angle hense it then dnt point up, but apart from that looking well

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

bike looks good matey... likin those renthals, gettin mine next week. shame about that waterpump but atleast you have an excuse to get a crank and rebuild your engine ! hope you get it sorted ..

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

Yeah im hopin 2 have the engine and bike sorted wivin the next month or 2 but as my holiday is cummin up im kinda short on cash.

Im thinking of taking the wheelie bar once i get the evo's and i desided on a paint scheme, white panels wiv red tribal patterns running along the 2 big side panels and a big tribal pattern 4 the front

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

now that's original :grin: :good:

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

tacky heavon unless it's pulled off niceley, anyone seen the ed hardy aerox some euro guy did? was the tits.

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

looks good mate id invest in a electric water pump if i was you and block up the old one save you hassle of the poxy thing going again :mrgreen:

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08

dont see the point in holidays myself, cost loads then your pissed off when you have to come home to shitty england. might aswell spend the money on really minting up this rat! and an almax chain of course.

sod the holiday get this bike on the road man! me, u and shox need to go on a mission or somthing :cheers:

 

Re: Ratty to Minty/125 to 172 Update 26/08
