Cool exhaust. I love the look of exposed welds, looks industrial.
Love the Z too!

I like your bike/work. I use stainless wire too but i cant /dont have a tig welder, the welder i know that does our roll cages told me $170 to weld all of it (36 joints) but im broke and have many other tings to do on the bike so it looks like i'll be mig welding it myself (oh boy :-\) i might have to wrap it lol. as for the frame work i need to find some pre bent tubing for the tail and do some bracing.lil beast said:If you have access to a TIG it would have a nice clean finish, better than MIG any day. I use stainless wire in my MIG for some SS welding if I want the raw look. Good call on the framework. Look up my posts and youll see my build and still buildin, no need to hijack yours. ;D
it was that or i was going to do a 2 into 1 under the frame but I saw another bike on here with it.boomshakalaka said:I was planning to do under-tail exhaust. I decided to use cl pipes to get started on this build since I dont have much money or know how. Then I open this thread and youve telepathically stolen my idea, damn you!
anyways, nice build so far.
And Im jealous of your job! Ive owned a few 240's. I had a white one, 5spd, hud, pure sex. She was pretty run down though and I sold her off after she sat in my garage for 3 years with a blown motor. Got 1000$ for a non running 20+ year old car that was certainly not in amazing condition. I guess I owe a thanks to the drift craze for inflating the prices
p.s. the rich exhaust gave me a stiffy..
Derek4Real3 said:PS. i migged the exhaust.....sorry guys looks like its getting fully wrapped
??lil beast said:I can it as good as TIG either man.
ah makes sense now.lil beast said:lol. fixed. Frame looks mint. I gotta get back on my bike too.
true but i cant get darker then black and everything else is black. I wont know till its too late so i better like itboomshakalaka said:I like the color of the frame. Generally I think the frame should be darker than the rest of the paint, but this could be an exception.
