1985 ATC 70 Project "No Dough" Complete Update 2/10!

[Mr. Clean]

Picked this beauty up yesterday for roughly the cost of a pull starter. :lol:

Going to just clean up what is here and try to spend as little as possible, have a 70 regatta coming up in PHX in early June. :D

Started by polishing some of the original paint on the frame and it looks great.

Damn. I need to find me one of these little guys for playing around on and oh yeah..teaching the boys to learn how to ride a trike. Thats what I tell the wife anyhow but would really love one for me too!! Nice score the bud, looking pretty good so far.

[Jon Boy]

has the fender been moved up the fork? looks like it barely clears the motor from the pics.

"fingers crossed" if i can find one. an 85 70 is probibly next on my list, after getting the 74 fixed anyway. :lol:

[yaegerb]

It already looks really clean, Mr. Clean.

[Mr. Clean]

:naughty: Excellent!!

Spent the day stripping the rims by hand and painting with a base black and topcoat silver. I was trying to get a quality silver and the black undercoat hooked it up.....

This being a budget build, to this point not counting the price of the 70 I spent $13 for paint supplies and all of the work has been my labor and elbow grease. I am quickly running out of stuff to do for "no dough" :lol:

[Mr. Clean]

Project "No Dough" is complete :beer I had a guy stop by and buy one of my 85 ATC70's. He told me he wanted this project when it was complete. Well he called me and said he was going to the Dunes and had to have it by this weekend! This he tells me last weekend. So I started yesterday and got it done today.

Got the original motor running had a pretty bad bottom end noise. I had a TRX70 motor on the bench and swapped it over. I had to mount the additional electronics on the frame, new carb, seat cover, seat foam, painted the tank, torqued all bolts down, fresh oil and a final detail. Starts first pull and runs great :Bounce

On to the next project. :naughty:
