Post by: Beeblebrox2nd on 18 February 2014, 11:08:16 pm: Because some people have too much time on their hands...

The other question is "Is that a CX?"

I'm about to undertake my custom build. It might look shite at the end, but at least I had a go! That guy has had the tenacity to finish the project: for that alone, good on him.

Post by: Andy FZS on 19 February 2014, 04:02:17 am: I built a cx up from a box or several of bits I got from the brother in law. Cost another £500 in bits and was only worth £550 when finished but it passed a couple of years.

yep I aggree , by christo its was loud tho ! , I think the exhausts were straight through ! it was 60 yards away and shock the windows and doors !

up close it was sadly lacking in fine details , but as it will probably spend a far while sat at the side of the roads being a cx i dont think that will matter !
