Jesus the tail/seat on the bolt in the 2nd picture. :lol:

Almost looks like they took a Lightning tail and fiberglassed a superbike style tail around it. I do like the paint though :lol:

Also, I scored a '98 expedition with a bad trans for $100. Gonna strip it for the engine and a few spare parts for my truck and sell the rest for profit, so this thing might see the road soon!

Inb4 you never get around to it :lol:

Inb4 you never get around to it :lol:

No, fuck no. :lol:

It's getting hauled to the shop sometime next week and as long as I'm physically capable I'm tearing that fucker apart as fast as I can and sending the chassis off to be scrapped. Don't need that piece of shit in my way.

I'm sure selling the parts will probably fail being that I live in cheapass hillbillyville. I'll at least try though, just about every motherfucker in this town has one that's broken down or needs something.

I'm calling bullshit until it happens :mrgreen:

 

[R13]

I wouldn't expect anything less. :lol:

Shitty picture from my shitty garage :mrgreen:

Decided to try a little spot with some acetone in a spray bottle and a rag to scrub off the paint on the frame. Still not sure where I'm going with this, but that shitty ass spray paint job needed to come off regardless. I may simply just repaint it matte/satin black with better paint.

 

[94RS]

Just polish it with your DA and some Mothers... :what:

Shiny things are easier to sell to dumb hillfolk.

 

[R13]

I really don't wanna be that fag :lol:

Polished frames on sportbikes have always been cringey as fuck to me.

It did cross my mind to give it a brushed look and clear coat it with matte or satin clear but idk just yet.

 

[94RS]

You don't plan on keeping the POS anyway... Do whatever you can to it to increase the chance of selling to the easily impressed :lol:

 

[R13]

What if I paint the fairings silver, and do the brushed effect of the bare tank and frame?

I could airbrush some fake rivets and shit into it and some shark teeth on the side. :lol:

 

[94RS]

Brushed frame with olive drab fairings and tank, then put some P40 Warhawk decals on.

 

[R13]

I'm tempted to do it :lol:

 

[94RS]

I'm tempted to do it :lol:

Then just for the hell of it, you should buy a handful of different bike manufacturers decals and make a kill list :lol:

 

[R13]

:rolf:

I could fill it with scooter/grom and ninja 250/300 decals.

 

[94RS]

Even better, fill it with HD shield outlines to make the rednecks bumsore. :mrgreen:

 

[R13]

:rolf:

I better get crash rails and a ton of sliders if I'm gonna do that because it'll be getting knocked over in parking lots all the time. :lol:
