Ok guys , as promised here a re a few pic of the frame now that the body is off so you can get a better look at the damage.If you don't flush the crud out of the frame every once ina while , this could happen to you too.The thing with this rot is it starts from the inside , so you don't notice it , and once you do , its too late , the frame is not fixable , no matter how good you are at welding <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" /> My advice to anyone , is if your in doubt about your frames condition , check it with a hammer or a screwdriver , make sure you can't poke a hole in it , if you can , get it checked to see if its fixable still , if its not , look for a good frame and do a complete swap like I am doing.

As you look at the pics , you will see a few spots where the frame is broken , missing parts of it , or has big holes in it.You'll see what I mean right away as you look closely.




















So , after reading this post , I hope I inspire at least a few of you to check your frames.Don't get to the point where you have to do a big project like me , although I did make it bigger while doing lots of other stuff at the same time.Its a lot easier to do everything as you go and have it all done at once. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
