Hello everyone. Just got my first 6X6 Attex. Believe it's a 297. Need help with it. Got it for a steal. Needs much TLC. I've built multiple motorcycles but never something this cool. Body needs repairs as well new wiring. First question is what is the best type of repair to do to the body that will hold the best. Body has been repaired with fiberglass in the front and a steel plate on the right rear side. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Wanna bring back to life a piece of the past.
Welcome to the world of AATV. Sounds like you probably have an abs body. Several ways to repair all in several places on this site. You will have the best luck with the frame out and all old patches removed. I prefer abs glue and fiberglass mat not glass cloth. I clean and soften body with MEK then apply patch on a piece of saran wrapped you can touch it and work out bubbles. Can also heat weld cracks. Good luck lots of great ideas on this site.
I found out anything that you can get running is a steal... Rebuilt the old carb on the original engine and got it running. The only problem is it doesn't steer. UGH!!! Found out this is a 69 or 70 attex. I ordered new brake pucks and will put those in as soon as they come in the mail, then out for another test run. Was told not to fix it by the guys on the other website. Don't know if I should believe them. I feel all old toys need a chance to come back to life. And its a neat toy.
