It's been awhile since I did some updating. Kids and work have taken priority over the last couple of weeks. Amazing to think that there is only 6 weeks of school left
The golf course I work at is in full swing now, too. Trees are starting to bud, and grass is growing. What a great feeling!! The kids have been itching to go to Disney (I think I posted that earlier), so we have been selling off some stuff. I'm proud of the kids, because they have been selling some of their items, too. It all goes into a big jar that's marked 'Disney fund' I think so far, we are 2/3 of the way there as far as cash goes. Tomorrow I am selling a little DT100 I've had for a couple of years and it just sits around taking up space. I think with that money, we'll buy a small four wheeler for the kids, and keep it at grandpas house. He has 5 acres, so we can do more riding there than in suburbia, where I live.
Anyways, here are some pics of my progress, and things that I have purchased.
Headlight I'm going to use for now.
I can't believe that the stock VF shifter had the same amount of splines and everything. What a break!!
Found a stock pipe and am cutting it apart and rewelding it to make it fit under the engine. So far, so good.
This picture shows the seat, right foot pegs assembly, rear brake assembly and plastics.
The new lighting coil for a DT400.
To get this thing running, I need to finish the exhaust, mount the carb and reed valve with new bolts, find a kick starter that will clear the foot peg and finish mounting the engine. If I do that, this thing should make some sound. Also, I found a VF tank locally but won't have it till next week.
