400ex

here is my 2001 400ex that i bought next to nothing.. it needs loves just a bit.. i was wondering what you guys think keep it as is and slowly build it up or rip it down now while i have most of it apart and rebuild it now such as paint frame swinger get new a arms clean everything and fix everything new plastics the whole 9.. (im not worred about wasting money on this thing cuz im prob never getting rid of it).. what you guys think?

pic doesn't work for me at least. i would say build it up until you go into the motor and then do it all at once inside. It is fun to put parts on it one at a time to see the differences and different times since it like christmas to get new boxes of parts. If you do it all at once it is like only one christmas instead of a bunch of little ones to appreciate it more. Good luck on the machine LOL, steve

i guess it depends on your patience level!!!! i dont have the patience to do one upgrade at a time. but thats just me. i tend to tear it all the way down and go a little crazy building it back up..all depends on the wallet. the biggest thing is to have fun while you build a bike
