1975 TF125 mudbug

To come is the work on my newest bike, the mighty mudbug! im at work atm, but i'll post up some current pic's of it when i get a chance, just wanted to make the thread now...


basicly, i picked it up for $280 and everything works motor is sweet, tyres are sweet brakes are sweet.

got a lot of rust, which I'll fix, just hope there's no holes in the frame

here is the beast, im hoping to sand it down and repaint it up in military / camo colors!

As I already mentioned on here: brilliant easy project that is cheap to do and will give you heaps of fun when done. There is enuf grunt in the small things to keep you happy.

And what has always drawn me to these type of projects is that you can do exactley what you want to them and use whatever bits you have lying around.

Enjoy!

got the bike stripped down and cleaned (well clean ish)

time to start sanding!

got the tank and the pack rack primered.

found the swingarm has a big bit of rust in it so will need welding.

luckily for me, i have a mate whos pretty good at that sorta thing.

got the engine out and also the bolts that i had to grind the heads off.

should be getting close to painting times

Here she was as I got her



Heres the frame as it is now, i ran out of black paint haha



engine and carb painted



exhaust all painted




mudgards painted, i actually wanted them green but ran out of paint lol



my one side cover painted. might get the other side some day!



tank all painted, didnt bother with the dents (or the rust haha)



pack rack frame all painted

Time for a update?

sounds like a pretty sweet deal you got on it. Military camo should look pretty awesome, my dad has one of these as a farm bike, pretty grunty, but the horrible drum brakes are a bit of a downside.
