Well I know it's not a car and no it's not hella flush. But I thought some of you might enjoy seeing it. Me and my wife are close to purchasing our first home, and her grandmother had this old mower sitting behind her house in a barn. I asked her how much did she want for it, without looking at really good, lol. But she said if I fix it and use it then I could have it. So I have been working on it for a few months in my spare time at work. I ended up putting a lot more into that I originally planned because it was in such bad shape. This thing was used heavily for like 20 years!!! I started by rebuilding the motor, and then went from there. I ended up with only $200 bucks in it. So I think it's still better than going and buying a used one. Plus it was fun to do, I really enjoy stuff like this. Let me know what you think guys. Thanks :goodjob:

Yeah mine pops a wheelie bad right now. There is no feathering the clutch, I need to adjust it. But yeah it runs so sweet. It cranked second pull after I rebuilt it like 2 months ago.
