Title: Kuwahara E.T. All Finished Now
Post by: jimmyp on October 05, 2007, 07:38 PM: Its been 25 years since E.T. was released on the cinema and for me its one of the best films of all time. Its was probs the first time i saw a BMX and everyone who went to see it always mentioned that it had BMX's in it. When i got back into BMX about 3 years ago it was defo one of the bikes i wanted to get as its always the one i remember from back in the day.

The bike has taken me about 11 months to build and i just need a frame pad to totally compleate it. So if anyone can help me out then just pm me, thanks dudes :) :) :) :) :)

This is the pic ive been working from to complete the build ;)
