    I thought I would post some pictures of my budget speedster buildup. It was built with more or less basic garage tools.

    Love it- but then again I am a little partial to speedsters!

    You may want to take 1 more look though cuz someone put your steering wheel on the wrong side! ha

    That looks incredible. keep it up.

    I had thought about making it LHD but as I am stuck in the UK we are forced to drive on the wrong side of the road, LOL
