	Hehe, she doesn't look like that at the moment. My ex scraped the passenger side down a wall, so I stripped the shell to fix it and give it a re spray. That was a couple of years ago, slowly working my way forward She's got a new rear valence since this was taken. I know the back end looks wonky, it's just the photo

	It's been a bit of a git to sort out, but as you can see I'm getting there. After that, the rest will be a doddle ;D Dude, bike engines are cool, but you have to remember that bikes have to pull a lot less weight, so they don't need so much torque. To make it worth doing, you'd have to shed loads of weight. Like these guys do www.zcars.org.uk/

	Yer I have been looking at their motors for a while (Taking nots of course) I Have sourced a GSXR off a Mate whihc is sound its fabricating the Rear Subframe thats going to take a bit of time, Ah and the vital bit A CAR when she pulls her finger out her and gets one mind so this project is going to be a while in the making espically as i have 3 motor projects on the go ;D
