[QUOTE="D8K, post: 96044, member: 648"] Honestly, any time you purchase a 'basket' case or 'project' bike you're taking a gamble. It looks like a VERY doable fixer-upper though. I bought a $300 bike and ended up with a tricked out $4500 KX250. Once I tore down the bike I found that the hubs were busted the cylinder was severely rusted, the airbox was cracked pretty bad, the gas tank had a leak, and a bunch of corroded and rusted hardware. If you want to see everything I had to replace and process I went through feel free to check out, and pretty please comment on my build...
