My KUWAHARA E.T.!!!!!
« on: July 04, 2007, 10:37 AM »
humungous props to Lee pkradman for getting this drilled, painted and stickered up for me. Amazing service, quick and immaculately finished. Ive never been so happy with a resto. I have all the bits to build this, just waiting on my rims from the anodisers, then its getting put together.
So - Tange Hot Heart [ebay bargain] and TRX forks - before and after - I think youd agree that it looks a lot like the real thing - i always wanted an Et and this seemed the easiest way without taking out a second mortgage!

That looks great Steve, now comes the exciting part...... finding the parts and building it up.

Can't wait to see it completed.

That looks fantastic - I may have to give the old 'chisel chinned, clay layer' a call  ;)

So - Tange Hot Heart and TRX forks - before and after - I think youd agree that it looks 100% like the ral thing - i always Wanted and now my holy grail has been reaised! Comments appreciated......

So, you chopped what looks like a NOS Tange frame set to make a Fake ET, that looks 100% like the real thing...
