T&J Custom Peds: Project Ped

HI all

For our first ever project we where looking for a Areox for a number of reasons... A Areox was my first ever bike so i wanted it to be my first ever project, Tyler had striped a Areox apart that had a seized engine so had plenty of parts, Also Tyler had worked on a few Areox before and lastly They sell like hot cakes over here (not sure about the UK Market)

Ever searching our local Classifieds We found a 2002 Air Cooled Areox 100cc Admittedly it wasn't in the best shape but that was the whole point of a project! a nasty bit of rust was growing on the engine mounts and the thing was tempter mental to start... however when you got it going it ran like a dream with no lecy faults or strange noises it even came with a road legal after market power pipe!



First of all was to strip it down to the frame to spray the panels and sort out the odd patches of Rust









Then we cracked on with prepping the panels for primer first which took a few days to get through!



Then it was into the spray booth for the primer



My boss Chris offered to spray them for us...



.... Which was a good shout cose me did a way better job then me!



They even met Tylers approval!!



We decided to go on a bit of a spending spree on donotlink Pedstop and later that week (after a stupid P&P charge!) we took delivery of our toys... My favourite one beeing a replacement rear brake light from TNT....



After that we headed down to our local Sealy Stockists who had a massive end of season sale on... we ended up picking up this Sealy Bike Stand for £50... Not to bad...



So while tyler was messing around with the sparky stuff i decided that i was gonna fix up that tired pipe....



... After some TLC and a can of VHT Paint she came out looking back to normal



At this point we took delivery of our Base Coat Paint.. Toyota's "Ultra White II"



Stay Tuned for more...

Next time dont order again from adrenaline pedstop they are shite but loving the detail in this project!

 

Its been awhile since the last update but we had to change workshop (mainly due to me loseing my job...) But the panels have now been sprayed!

I did them myself at my new pace of work and they turned out rather good if it do say myself









I was rather distracted at work when out of the spraybay came this!

 

Got a few of the panels on late at night so the pic isnt very good but it shows our progress!

 

Got abit more of it built up todat and got her into the sun to have her buety shots taken!

 

should of used the 50cc aerox front panel with the vents looks much better or cut this one out with some nice and big sort of V shape, still nice rox
