Bought this PW50 for my son 3 years ago (he is 9 now, youngest nearly 4) i am handy outdoors, building stuff. Love motorsport. Its my life along with outdoors, camping etc. But im not mechanically minded
Eldest lost interest, had another son, then thought i should rebuild this whole thing. It spent 2 yeara disassembled with me being depressed , in the last two weeks i have completed it. It has had a ground up rebuild. Engine to suspension to nuts and bolts.
Well nearly, i had to use a few old bolts etc. Still has graphics to go on. It has been built as a replica of a 80’s PW50 - but they have barely changed over 30 years
Stripping it - easy. Building it again, FMD. Youtube was my saviour. One motorcross related youtube channel basically had a step by step guide, saved me
Anyway, i thought when i started this tonight it would blow up considering i have never rebuilt a motor. Well….it runs. It runs good
Rewarding. I honestly didnt think i could do this. I credit youtube. First photo is today, last photo is how i bought it
That’s great @westozziebomber. I just got some random old bricks and made some new garden beds with my dodgy bricklaying skills. Used to be a big dirt and weeds kind of area when we bought the house. Waiting for some topsoil to arrive before we put in the trees:
This is a 2005 but ive built it off the original “zinger” pw50, this colour specifically mid 80’s. I just wanted something different than a modern looking PW
The best thing about them is they have remained basically unchanged since forever. Lots of interchangable parts
