My latest 'Funky Monkey'
« 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  :shocked:




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 looks like it should be ridden  :4_17_5:

It has and it will be ridden Gaz  :coolsmiley:

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

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