1972 Moto-ski Capri 340 DIY time-lapsed restoration. Vintage snowmobile.

[@bobbyverne9714]

My first snowmobile was the 440 Capri. I bought it second hand for $200 in 1978. Great first sled.
Hearing that distinct exhaust sound really brought back memories!

[@outdoorstoddy72]

That's awesome! Ya I love the sound of it too. Thanks.

[@markjohnston933]

[@johnsharonwhitaker9242]

thanks Toddy. Great technique on the video. And very useful here. A neighbour has a '70 motoski with the 493 Hirth and low miles but it has been on the ground under a truck cap for 25 years and everything is froze down. Will wait for spring. But I have a '70 Olympique I bought new to work on instead. Did you use rust converter before priming ? And is your spray gun airless ? John in Manitoba.

[@outdoorstoddy72]

Hi John. No I didn't but that is a excellent idea. I deceased with a decreaser and vinegar and removed all the rust. Just used a good primer. The sprayer is not air it's electric. Enjoy doing your project! Thanks.

[@oldsledpurgatory3595]

Nicely done! Looks great! Where did you find a track for it? I've got a '75 Cadet I plan on refurbishing sometime in the future.

[@outdoorstoddy72]

Thanks! Guy on the Moto-ski Facebook group had one.
