This is how the frame currently sits I also forgot to mention I had a new seat made which I may end up getting another as this one’s a bit thin and I’m trying to be as close to original as possible but I’ll see 

Hey everyone this is my first post so I thought I would start fairly strong. My name is Will, I’m 22 years old and absolutely love Mini Bikes. 
My current project is a tru test mini bike which I purchased back in 2017 in a very original state, as far as I can tell it was essentially a complete bike as they would have come from the manufacturer albeit worn down as a 40 year old bike would be. 
It ran a Kirby-Tecumseh HK35 and had custom mudguards which I believe were produced by tru test themselves. I had the frame acid dipped and then powder coated, original new old stock grips I sourced from eBay and recently after a 4 year hiatus I managed to track down another Kirby engine which I’ll be putting on as it’s more complete and in better condition than the original was. I have a tiny bit of regret for not just cleaning the bike and leaving it in its original state but I know I’ll be very happy once my restoration is complete, Also if anyone is able to date the Kirby engine tag I’d love to have a rough estimate of what year this engine was as I have no clue what exact years these bikes were made and that could help, the tag number is 

“F1027” and “35093” 

I can’t seem to post all the photos so will try do some comments of how the frame currently is 

Cheers
