    Vintage Adventure Team ATV Restoration



    So here's my long tale of my ATV restoration, with some photos for fun. It's too long to post it all here, but I have the full tale over at the usual. There's nothing to learn, you likely won't hear anything that will blow your mind and it pales in comparison to the work some folks do in the Joe world, but it was my first time cleaning up one of these old ATVs and there was plenty of calamity involved.

    But if you want a look and perhaps a laugh at my misadventure, have at it!

    Cool! I have 2 of these babies, both with adn w/o the winch, and both in loved condition. I love the pics, especially w/ the Man of Action chilling in the backseat!

        I love the Adventure Team and hope to some day have that awesome vehicle. That was a neat journey of repair.
