Hi Allan, I'm not too clever with these Honda Hayaboosa mini things, but why do you need a ladder to get up into the car? If that's the ride height, can i suggest you may want to invest in a good quality set of Hi-Lo's like Moulten Smoothyriders. Thay are a fantastic way of lowering the car down to a more accessible height for short arses. Good luck with the garden by the way. Gary.

I have my kit and most of the bits to get this thing sorted
More updates and pics later this week.

looking good. Will you need to take the frame out again to paint the shell, or will you paint it with the frame in?

[AllanMcD]

I will paint it with the frame in.
