    So with a bit of spare time at the minute I have the opportunity to help out some friends.
    After adjusting Mick to a fair and reasonable price on behalf of my friends (who wish to remain nameless for now) then meeting Moose to exchange Micks goods for the PW80 it was bought home and looked over.
    It was removed from the trailer and started first kit, the kids and I checked it out and a revamp plan was hatched

    Lochie was keen to take it for a spin

    So today I decided to get into the project. I was pulling the exhaust of and found it had a broken exhaust stud in the cylinder head DOH!!

    I could not agree more on the cost side,,it does not cost an arm and a leg to do this kind of stuff, just some initiantive .I have my project looking brand new for a measly cost of $45.00 for paint and some graffics.( should have spoken to Tee Cees)$90.00 for 2 new tyres and alls gold. My young fella is gunna think its a 2009 model quad,,remember his 4.
    :) :) :)

    and how much do you enjoy doing that kind of thing :) :) :) :) :)

    make sure you paint the engine before you put it all back together. there was a silly bugger on here a while ago who was doing up a DT, he didnt do it and it looked shit in the end. :P :P :P
