I think I would cry if that was mine.
Is it a work-in-progress? Or progressional modern art?
What's happened! ?

yep,handbrake cable detached thank you  i've got the back stripped down as far as i want to go,just got to drop the petrol tank off next. Started on the front earlier,but having trouble getting the abs sensor out of the hub,put some plus gas on the joint,see what it's like tomorrow.
Why?
Well in this lowrider game,you've gotta keep going one step further,so i'm completely stripping the underside down(it started off with overhauling the brakes!) and blasting,painting,and chroming bits as i go along. I've got a never ending supply of stainless fixings that will be used when it's all re-assembled. I'll try and take pics as i go thru cos it won't be as messy(and i won't be as brutal),maybe they'll be useful for someone doing maintainance. After the underside i've got to fit my engine driven compressor into the engine bay and do a bit of detailing around there,then into the boot and finish that off with some more alligator skin,then more speakers inside and finally some metalflake and some pinstriping Hopefully have it back together by may.
My only real fear is bleeding the brakes,i hate bleeding car brakes,bikes are no probs.

yeah it's pretty simple under there tho. got all the bits bagged up and labeled(learnt from my previous mistake!) will be worth it when it's done. Also a good way to make sure everything's ok and replace any worn bits.
