P.S. Took over a year to build it but I wasn't in a hurry.
Here is another nice restoration project from Mark Howes. So here is his story.
"I bought the bike at a garage sale last year for $100 and did not really know if I was going to do anything with it, I got it running and took it out with my son a few times " he's not even allowed to look at it now" Ha Ha!! anyways I did some research on the net and could not believe the amount of models and makes of minibikes. I saw a few photos of Arctic cats and was inspired to rebuild this one, I had a blast!! Anyways a bit about the mini. I replaced almost every thing thanks to ebay had the seat recoverd not original leapard print but I liked the look better. I had all the chrome parts redone ,new brakes , throttle , cables bought three tanks till i found one that was any good, body filled it and had the boys at work paint the parts in our booth, our art dept did the "arctic cat" graphics for me, sandblasted the rims and painted silver, I found a really nice kohler engine rebuilt the carb runs great!! nos fenders on thing not on the photos is the new original gas cap. into it for about $400- $500 but don't plan on selling it."
Below is what the bike looked before.
