Much thanks to all of you who have been helping me out with this build/post, I cant wait to have this elite all suited up for the eye candy pleasure. No doubt I am looking for a sweet bro deal on a stock complete dio or sym dd50 engine. Let me know also open to donations, can pay for shipping, just bill to receiver or however that works :). Aloha and thanks for checking in.

Alright, so this is how the SE50 stands for now
Image
Had to barrow Sym DD engine, mirrors, and used some front turn signals from scrap parts
Image
So close that exhaust fits

I toyed around with making my own EDIT license plate, 2SLW4UFATAS, it does not really have that :)

Ok I know I haven't made much progress lately to the SE50, with tests and work, got to make money to spend money. I took a gander at a you tube video, and it looks like this guy in canada had recieved a PG short exhaust for his 63cc kit se50. Will it be possible to bolt on a PG short to an SE50?

Update:
I had changed the paint again, and after looking at some eliteR's, the pistachio colored panels are now fire red. Put on a IRC 90/90-10 tyre on rear rim feels really nice and raised the back end a little too :) , I got a little more maintenance left before I post more pics so be patient :ndance:

Sanding - Just your standard Assorted sanding kit 100, 150, 220 grit.
You could also go a much higher grit wet sanding for much smoother finish, get some bondo for filling in deep scratches.

I used the 100 to remove gloss and paint, 150 to blend scratches and bumps, than the 220 to be smooth by touch. sand the imperfections, smooth them out, than paint again.

I took some pictures today between 17:50hrs and 18:00hrs (If you don't know the twenty-four hundred hour time reading just count from 12pm, 13=1; 14=2; 15=3 and the minutes stay the same), a couple were dark and the others turned out quite nice for the time of day.

Pictures were taken with an iTouch 4th Gen.

This one I tried getting the colors of the sky on the surface of the water, it looks pretty cool as if it were some city lights.

I took these two pictures indoor on some other day.

cheap non lighting enhancement for those who would like some better pictures with bad cameras.

You can see how it helps enhance the contours of the Elite.
