1995 Arctic Cat EXT 580 EFI
(some assembly/repair required):
I got most of two skidframes,
a track, boxes of parts, and a mostly complete chassis/engine/etc.
Basically I just fixed what needed
fixing and replaced what needed replacing. For example, the left
side had taken a hit, so the a-arms were bent:
Luckily, the bulkhead was still nice and straight.
I repainted all the suspension components (here are
some, ready for paint):
I also prepped the exhaust for a coating of my
secret Rust-oleum High-Heat BBQ paint:
As long as I had the parts apart, I decided to try
some Mother's Aluminum Polish on the steering drag link and skid rails.
Here's the before & after polishing pics, for
comparison:
At one point I had the sled pretty well stripped down:
The hood was in good shape, but I stripped off some
of the decaling to give it a bit of a custom look, so it went from this:
to this:
So, the sled went from the pile of parts at the top
of the page to this (in less than 8 weeks):
What follows is my sales page that I linked to from eBay when I posted the sled and sold it there. It outlines many of the repairs and new parts. Click: SALES PAGE
