Default My Marathon Project

1989 3PG Marathon...

Figured I'd post a few pics of my Marathon Project. Bought it a few years ago for 500 bux and never really did much to it. Rattle canned it, did a bit of maintenance and just drove it around at the track. I use it to tow my race car at the track. It's getting out of hand and I'd never get any money out of it but oh well

Before:



Currently:







Frame and all suspension pieces were media blasted and powdered. Front suspension is completely new. Rear shocks are from an old street bike I had. I fab up a brush guard as well as some other stuff once I get further along. Plenty more to go. I'll post more as they come

Better than new is right!! The build quality on these is okay but I'm gonna give it some racecar-build qualities! So far it's been a blast. Unfortunately it's cost wayyyy to much money. Oh well.

I've restored a few cars in my time and this ain't no different....including the cost!!! I also dabble in drag car fab so I'm no stranger to expensive.

Got the floor in last night as well as some other little tweaks. I'll post more pics in a day or so.

More....

Made some more progress. The 3pg is completely rebuilt. Slight over-bore, took a couple 100th's off the jug and put a bigger carb on it. Currently designing a 2 stroke pipe with the proper-size expansion chamber. Also shimmed the drive clutch spring about 3/4" and replaced the shives in the driven. Should run good.

The kick-panel is made out of 1/2" MDF and coated on the inside with heat guard. Going to put two speakers in it as well. The old one was rusted out. I almost made another out of 20 gauge sheet metal but this will serve a better purpose. It will be covered with the same carpet as on the floor/dash. Soon it will be riding on 215/35/12's. I may eventually bag the whole cart so it will lay frame but not now as I'm on a schedule.
