Title: Starting my ET build at last!
Post by: mivvi on February 22, 2009, 08:45 PM

Well I have been out of the old school scene for about 18 months now, as I started my own business and had to watch the pennies. (You know how expensive this hobby can be!) Well im back now as finances are looking better at the moment. So this is my ET that has been hidden away in a box in the attic for the last 2 years since having the F&F restored. I have been looking forward to building this for a long time and now is the time. Im not building it to original spec but it won't be far off, just fancied a change from the norm. Well its still in its early stages but have most bits now but couldn't wait to get some pics up. Will post more as it comes along. (It feels so good to be back and hasn't the registered members grown!)  :)

This is how I received it 2 years ago. Off a member on here but sadly can't remember their user name.  £25 for the F&F, bargain with todays prices. Paid £16 for the nos pads 2years ago too, thought that was expensive back then, lol.

Here is how it stands after a bit of building this afternoon. Need to sort a crank and seatpost next.

Thanks N2cus. Like I said, I wanted a build a bit different from the norm. I can always change it at a later date, as ET parts are cheap and easy to track down. Cheers Gashead, its great to be back and my wallet was getting a bit heavy! ;D

Thanks all for the comments! Sorry n2cus, I knew you wern't having a go, so easy to get the wrong end of the stick on here, lol.  ;)

Yes, attics are interesting places, there is stuff up there I didn't know I had. Last night I found a box full of nos MX1000's, which was nice.  ;D

Pete, great to hear from you again. Are you still buying up all the GT's!

Well I will get a few more bits sorted this week and get another pic up on the weekend. I have nos DC890's or some nos white MX1000's, not sure which way to go as yet  :-\
