I would like it to be a hobby, but its expensive. I just got lucky and got all this for dirt cheap. So, for now its just a project. The guy I got it from restores older cars too. He had novas, chevells, and old diesel VW's.

OK, so here are the pics of how it looked before I fixed it up:








And I am still fixing it, so I dont have the finished pics yet. But so far, I have gotten all the wheels set up, I repainted everything and now I am about to work on the gear box and the motor mounts and the motor itself.

As I was looking at the engine in the first pic, I realized its a 399cc engine. I was told it was a 250cc. It is a 2 cylinder. All it needs is a gas tank which i just got from my neighbor for free and then some gas/oil. yes, it is a 2 stroke.

I had one once a long time ago. It was the one with the full rollcage not sure if yours has one or not. Mine also only had suspension on the front wheels and balloon knobbys on the back. Keep yourself strapped in they roll quite easily but the harness actually isnt bad. It will leave bruises on your shoulders. I remember that much. Have fun with it though they are cool and you can rarely find those around anymore.

Yup, I am upgrading the engine so I need to modify the roll cage a bit, but it does have one.


They sure are hard to come by anymore, I just got luck and pickey this up from a friends dad. Somehow she braught my name up in a conversation and her dad was like "look, i want to show you something" then I ended up with it for 50$.

Good news! the engine runs....errr.....sorta. It was dark and I need to make some minor adjustments. Here is what it sounds like running for the short time it ran.
