Author Topic: My latest 'Funky Monkey' (Read 1972 times)

steve69 · « **on:** December 05, 2013, 09:55 PM »

A few months back I saw something on eBay that I really wanted, not being a 'man of money' I put a few completes up for a quick sale...

To cut a long story short, only one of three bikes sold leaving me way short of funds to be able to bid on what I wanted and as a result my beloved Quadangle on its way to its new owner deal sealed

Armed with PayPal fundage (and we all know how quickly that can be flittered away on bits n bobs !!) and no end goal I had a scout about and found myself winding myself into a deal with 'Stella' for his 84 Changa.

I had decided early on in the deal that due to the state of the Changa's drop outs that it would be getting a full makeover. This is where it all starts to get a wee bit Funky

Taking inspiration from Mark's (bboygraphix on the museum) original finish VDC Freestyler...

And applying it to a VDC Changa, this is what happens

Then we add some parts and.......

.......BOOYAH !!!

Special thanks to.... Dan (SBD) for adding some much needed colour, Ash (kungfunky) + Mark (bboygraphix) for working out the colour needed and Del for the decals

Expect a few minor changes as I fine tune it over the next few weeks.

Thanks for all the positive comments chaps.

There's always a risk factor when you break from the norm but I think it's paid off.

It has and it will be ridden Gaz

No such thing as a 'show phonie' round my place !!

If it's got air in the tyres.... It's a rider
