This is what I’m starting with I havnt don’t anything yet so the first two pics are just my starters. I’m on the hunt for some different parts and also ordering a few for it so I will of course be posting as I get parts and what I’m doing to the frame in the mean time. If you guys have seen my only other build you will understand my style a little, I’m thinking calling it lowcaine the Mirada but the name may change. Hope y’all are having an awesome time building so far

Never seen the Mirada, looks to be a good strong looking step through 😎
From what I’ve found it was around in like the 90’s to early 2000 sometime. I commandeered it from my grandmother in law I guess they bought it for their kid and my wife rode it when she was a kid. I looked at it said I’d never seen it and would love to build it so she gave it to me. It’s been in a garage for it’s whole life that’s why it’s still so shiny, it’s a shame I’m going to go a little wild on it but then again maybe it’s not🤣
 
So I know my build thread has been a little repetitive in the sense it’s all bondo photos so far but I’m really just trying to bring y’all in on every little step of the way, if you can see how the frame is coming into shape a little more still really ugly but with more layers and more sanding it will come into view
