I know theres been some discussion on this. I've searched seen some people say take it to professional welder and some say look for a new frame. Wanted to know from those of you that fixed it your self and how has it held up. I ride it pretty hard but mainly will be at the dunes now. I don't want to find a new frame ethier
It was given to me by my dad when I was 11 years old in prestine stock condition. And I got the original title from 1985. He got it from his Buddy a year or 2 after he (his buddy) purchased it from Honda new. And my dad was with him everytime he rode it. I have rode this thing into the ground....over and over....now I'm looking to do a full resto-mod. Make it look all original lookibg except for the 310 ct motor I had in it and pipe and silencer. Any help and advice will be appreciated. Thx

Some pics of what I'm dealing with. Blew head gasket in motor and what led me to do full resto.

More pics, yea I know its ruff. I'm hoping to revive the tank with a wet sanding. And find some stock looking plastics and seat. Yes that's electrical tape for the seat cover now.....I know I know what can I say I was young and dum. I kinda doing this to surprise my dad. He knows I'm fixing it up. Doesn't know what my plan is.
