Finally got some time to start working on the frame today.
De-tabbed cut the rear end, made a plate to house battery and electronics.
Nice to feel like I've done something to it wish work wasn't so crazy.

Started trying to make a seat unit.
-
But my fiber glass dosnt seem to be hardening :-(
Will see in the morning
-
In my (limited) experience that was due to either the ingredients being old or the temperature too low.
-
Yes the temperature has a lot to do with it and the correct amount of hardener,
what did you cut your foam with?
-
looks great so far 8)
-
Terns out I didn't use the right amount of hardener. So it never set. (Idiot)
So started again and this time it went well. Had about a litre and a half of resin and 4 layers of glass fibre. It's pretty strong now.

Used a surated kitchen knife to cut the foam (got in to trouble for that BIG TIME)
Then sandpaper to smooth it out.
There's a vid on utube by dime city cycles on how to do it
