First mini rebuild...
Hello all,
New to the forum and you folks here are full of GREAT info and really know your stuff...
I picked this old Cheeftah for $20 and started redoing it for my daughter.
Threw on a new coat of paint (her color choice) and some new shoes, new throttle set up.. just waiting for the rest of the parts to show up...
Have a 5hp briggs waiting in the basement (plenty of power for her)..
Just wanted to post a few pics and see what you all think..
A new seat is on the way (the foam you see was just for her to play on it)
Thanks agin for having a great site and the next mini I pick up is for me..LOL

I think it looks great. I also think its good to have the kids involved. I let my family vote and pick the color for the bike I am working on now.
