[QUOTE="MY-BLUE-BEAST, post: 149626, member: 388"] I picked up my latest project today its a 1978 Yamaha DT 175. Its in a little rough shape but nothing that cant be saved. The best part of the bike is that it has a clean and ORIGINAL, yes from 1978, title, really cool. The fenders are beyond repair, they can easily be refinished, but the rear fender is smashed and the front seems to have been modified to fit so its not worth saving. Im tearing it completely down including the engine and redoing it from top to bottom. Im going to redo it with white fenders and paint the tank the old school Yamaha yellow. I already found someone who can redo the seat and the graphics. The stator cover is missing to. This is going to take all winter almost, but it will be fun. :thumb: [IMG]http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m529/JZ67SS/temporary_zpsd8026680.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
