Me and my good friend Jesse went down to Clevland Ohio to pick up this mangled *** 400ex so I could rebuild it. Was about an 8 hour drive each way to get it. But man was t worth it.

This is what it looked like when we got it last friday.

So far with buying it, the gas to go get it, and the parts I am into it 1500 bux. Not to bad for a machine that runs like a raped ape.

Well I am still in need of new front shocks and left side A-arms. I would like to also put an aftermarfet bumper on the front. Then I need to loose those front plastics and put the stockers on so I can have a headlight.

Then I am gonna trail ride it till the wheels fall off. :D

Not really sure. I bought it off ebay from a salvage company. From what I can tell it looks like a tree, cause there was wood jammed in the plastics.:confused:
