The other Raptor build thread
One quiet afternoon at work, whilst browsing the internet, looking for an idea for something to tinker on in my spare time, I stumbled across this forum, and one in-particular post, bmxatv10's 'Rappy' build thread.
Reading through the thread and looking at the progress he had made, I was fully inspired, and decided this was the project for me.
Looked around for a few weeks at the classifed's/craigslist looking for a good starter bike, and nothing come up. So I added a wanted ad on Craigslist, and within a few day's I got a call from a guy with something like just what I needed. Missing a few parts, but with a rebuilt engine, it was too good a deal to turn down.
Here's how it sat once unloaded. I have a bunch of other arts with it not pictured, but I'm sure I will come across a few missing bits
It's gonna be a frame off rebuild, and it's going to be a slow project, but will try to keep track of it as I go, and share on here, hoping you guys can help with inspiration and possibly parts!
