I finished up the main detailing to get rid of all the oxidation. I started to work on some of the corroded wiring and other problems. I had a really hard time getting off some of the body screws because they were so rusted.
All cleaned up:
Bus connector fix (common problem on 2005 and 2006 Kawasaki Brute Force 750’s)
Took the wires out of this plug, stripped then soldered.
Then taped them up nice and secure…
After 10 months of looking I finally found the ATV deal I was looking for. A 2005 Kawasaki Brute Force 750. It has 33 hours on the clock ~170 miles, its basically brand new. I spend about 8 hours today detailing the quad, it was pretty oxidated from sitting outside. I used a oxidation remover and then wax on the whole ATV. Its coming out pretty good. I took off the racks and starting spray painting some of the rusted bolts and parts with Rustoleum. The plow needs to be reconditioned as well, I’ll probably strip that down to bear metal with the wizzer next week. Here are some pics:
My “spray booth”
Here are some pics from a few weeks ago when she was all cleaned up. The stang looks a lot better via photos then in person, but hey… What do you expect for 23+ year old paint?!?! Other pics are for the new switch console I added to the ashtray. These switches control my Fan, Shift Light, and gauges. Heading to Englishtown,NJ this weekend for the big Muscle Mustang & Fast Fords Event. More info on the event here: http://www.etownraceway.com/schedule/fords.aspx It should be fun!
Some pics of the control panel installed in the ashtray, sorry crappy pics, took it with my iPhone.
