Pep Boys Trash Bin Ressurection

[boonacka]

Picked this up from a neighbor over the weekend. He got it from an uncle for his kid but broke the wheel while riding to the gas station on a flat. Bike sat on his porch for a few months and his wife has been bugging him to get rid of it. pretty good score for a play bike. i think its a 70cc 4 down auto with e22 head. about the size of a 50 stocker on 10's with a 70 swingarm.

in the next few months, we'll see how this thing takes shape into a fun little playbike. after riding modded big bores, i kinda miss the old 88 auto.

Gotta love a project bike.  I love my 88cc stockers!

The dirty dog is pretty much done. Made more progress over the weekend and she's pretty much done with Phase1- rideable. I used the plastics off my old bike. the pipe is loud as hell for the hood so I threw on the stocker pipe after I took these pics. The 2B pipe will be for track only. Phase2 will get her lookin a little pretier and beefing up the suspension a little. this thing is truly suspended for a kid so I cant really jump it without bottoming out everything. I gotta admit, riding this thing has probably been the most fun i've had on a pitbike in a longgg longgg time.

From Rags to Riches..  Very nice Job..  Dont let the guy you got it from see it like that.. he will want it back in no time

   That's what I was thinking, but the guy gave me $20 not to say anything.

haha thats exactly what my dad said to me. luckily i dont have to worry about it because it's going to stay at my parents house, locked in the shed 

i got fork springs and hopefully a shock spring for it coming so maybe i can take it off some "sweet jumps" soon
