michael5556 247 Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Thought it was about time that i started my build thread for this as I've had it a while now. This car used to be KEEN VR until it was taken apart and then sold. We won't go into that story anyway This is what it used to look like This is the picture i was sent when buying This is when it arrived I'm not putting the ones up of how the bay was when i got it as it will make me cry lol But i decided to sell lots of bits off it to regain some money after i tripped the engine down, cleaned it all up and painted it Carbon fuel cap for it Bealieboy, daveyboy and Daverse 3 Link to post Share on other sites
