Long story cut short: i bought a second hand Suzuki Katana 49cc scooter, it was nice for while but i got bored with it pretty soon, so i started to fool around with it overbore it a few times and stuff, blew the engine two time(you should have been there lol) and decided this has to end now !
But could not decide how i was going to do that.....and then from no where a work mate crashed his Peugeot Elystar, wreaked the front end completely, but the back end was intact.
So it was a no brainer to snatch it quickly...
So here i am with a nice Suzuki but with no engine and a great peugeot engine with no frame :banana:
NOW I ASK THE MODDING GODS FOR HELP !!!
There she is:

there are two things i need help/advice with:
*advice part:

I need to find the most easiest and strongest way to extend the mounting points for the coil-overs.
The suzuki frame had only one coil-over
The peugeot engine is designed to run with two Coil-overs, but because it hangs further out i can't get the coil-overs to the transverse frame beam on which is the standard mounting point.
I'm opened to ideas on this
moving on
to problem #2
*help part:
the suzuki motor was 2stroke air cooled, the peugeot is 4stroke water cooled, so there is no way i can start it with the 2stroke CDi (i must add that i got the peugeot with no CDi it got lost in the crash lets say it was in wrong place at wrong time lol)
So the task is to strap a china or other 4stroke single cylinder carb'ed, CDi to my engine.... but i am a bit out of my league here:dead:
this what i have in this till now:
