Here's a few I've done in the past.
The 250R wa straded for a tap and die set. It was in boxes and zip lock bags when I got it. Thought I'd never get it done the way I wanted. After several setbacks and a little coin it all cam together.

This is the wifes 200X (racerX) that was bought for $160.00 on Ebay years back. It was a backyard waste of a machine. Parts robbed from it and such. It has also gone thorugh some extensive work. It is now back under the knife for a newer version.

Got to love those Tecates. Hard to find good parts, and takes alot of dedication. :beer
Heres what I went through. From Basket to beauty
Need that D.C. plastics Tank shell. Damn Tecate tanks are impossible to find good ones. Got dark over the last few years.:cry:

this 86 200x sat on top of a semi trailer for 5 years so no one would steal it..nebraska winters and summers were not good to it.

The 70 sat under my house for over 10 years .
