Rebuilt my sons mini quad after he's had it for a couple years now. Took me about a month and a half to Tear apart, strip/gusset/prime/paint and clear frame, paint rims, cut fenders, add AC nerfs, rebuild/beef up motor (New Tranny, HC piston, & a ported race head).

This is where I started...

Nice looking mini. The rear fenders remind me of a KTM. The front reminds me of a newer Blaster.

Btw, wrong section.

Thanx for the comment... I really didn't know what to do with the fenders so it took some thinking and quite a bit of tape to make sure I got it right. It's posted in the Xtreme section as well but just wanted to get my YFZ brothers opinions.
