Decided to bring one of the project sleds into the shop for a summer project. We have had this one for several years but had not gotten around to doing anything with it. At 4,600+ miles this is one of the higher milage sleds that we have picked up and I am sure to a great extent that the high milage is a key contributor to its current condition. We have a few decisions to make with respect to how much work to put into this particular project - we will have to see as the restoration unfolds. My initial assessment is that the hood is unusable. But we have a good 79 hood that will do well as a substitute after a little paint and fresh graphics. Belly pan too has seen better days and will likely need to be replaced. It came with no seat. It is interesting looking at the ski that the former owner really didn't want his wear rod to fall off. We have a rebuilt suspension skid ready to go in. And there is a good seat that is just waiting for my sister to fabricate a new cover. And, if I am remembering correctly there is even a pair of carbs that have been rebuilt and waiting along with a repaired dash panel, and rebuilt airbox. Now to see if we can find the hundred or so remaining parts necessary to get this machine back on the snow.
