You did a good job! Way to go on giving it a second chance at life :clap:

I couldn't have done it without the forums...all of them lol.
I have found some pretty cool people in the Raptor community willing to help me out.
Thanks again everyone!!! :clap:
I am VERY impressed. You did a great job bringing that raptor back to life. Its nice to see guys like you that can see through the mess to what something really can be. Keep up the great work with your passion.

I bought it blue and touched it up with some PJ1 Yamaha Blue spray paint from Rockymountainmc.com :thumbs:
That actually looks really nice..Most people that redo their stuff don't know how to match colors looks good :thumbs:

Thanks....At first I wasn't sure about the blue frame with the gray plastics but once I put them on I liked it a lot.
This is my next project.....
I got it back in 2002 when I was 15 and the motor blew for the 2nd time in 05 and I haven't done anything with it since, so I have decided to start slowly bringing it back to life.

Back when it ran
