Title: My ET build
Post by: N13L VV on August 15, 2012, 09:06 PM
OK guys heres the start of my ET build .  It started out originally as a Kuwie KYZ F&F  but the chrome was shot so perfect for ET paint.  I had previously bought a drilled hotheart to do but sold it when this came up as i think its the closest i could get to an original et.  Anyhow i will update as i get some progress.

OK well after gathering all the parts to do a poster spec build on this there was always a desire to build it gold ever since seeing stunning one  Sam (meticulous) built .  So last night i said balls to the standard black bits and went with my heart and built it with gold .  Hope yous likeit but tough if you dont lol  ;) ;D

I haven't a clue on et builds (although it being jap and not USA never crossed my mind lol).

How come then this bike he's riding has a completely different chain wheel to the usual spider and ring that's in other posters and replicas.

Sorry if it sounds dumb but what I know about et stuff you could right on a stamp as although I appreciate the bike it's never interested me
