Gt Performer - Custom build...

I've two daughters who have been starting to show a bit of interest in BMX.
My eldest daughter has taken my bike out a few times, and I had been talking to her about building her one of her own, as she's finding mine a wee bit difficult to get on with.
She's seen the wee stash of parts I have in the attic and had her eye on my mongoose f&f, but when I showed her an old GT performer frameset I had and told her she could fix it up whatever way she wanted, her eyes kinda lit up a bit.
Anyway, here are a few pics of the build at different stages.
It's quite a mixture of old and new school parts, but she's well pleased with it, and that's the main thing.
The frame came from ebay.de about two years ago, with about half a dozen layers of rattle-can spray and cost me 99 euros.
Most of the other parts I had here, except the pedals and the seat.
