hello to everybody i need some advise and help on a new project. i just got an 87 tecate that i plan to rebuild from the ground up. i have talked to a couple guys on here already and give much thanks to you. so far i have aquired all the plastics and a few other items but will be looking for more so if any body out there has a stash of tecate parts please pm me.
i got the frame back from the blaster today and well lets say it has some issues, ok lots of issues almost to the point of looking for a new frame. lots of cracks in the bottom tube where the foot pegs bolt on, but i think it twisted too. ill know better once i get a jig made up to hold it square and start measuring. my question is how common are cracks in these ? if they are common im not worried i'll straighten it up and tig up the cracks add a few gussets and be done. if they are not common then somebody realy womped this thing.
i'll be working on a list of some of the parts i need and i'll post them up on here any help you can give would be great.
