escape pod

Behold:

There it is, in all it's repainted glory. This represents three weeks of hard work involving sanding, scraping, cleaning, priming, painting, more sanding, more painting, and of course the infamous wet sanding, then a little more painting.

This is not to mention the 2 1/2 weeks Kirk spent working on it.

Kirk at Scooter Parts Direct, along with daƱell, stripped the old bad wiring out of this scooter, and put in a fresh central nervous system. Kirk also tuned the engine, and replaced a cracked oil pan. They also installed a modified horn that runs at about twice the voltage of a standard p200 horn.
It's LOUD.

You'll want to see the hordes of Riot GRRLS chasing you down.
