Howdy Howdy everyone, new user here, new to atvs as well. Just recently picked up a new project, '86 lt250E.
As you can see by these pictures, she is pull start without a kick start, that muffler you see? Yeah it's offa Civic, they cut the plastics and rear rack for it to fit and fed both headers into it. Front bumper you say? Why that has been welded to the previously destroyed mounts of the original bumper. Headlight? Evidently it is from a Ducati Monster, they fabricated the mount out of sheet and welded it into place.
The welds, they are a sight to behold, they ran a little mini-MIG hot & fast from the looks of it with flux-core and just spit metal at it till it stuck. Oh yeah, they welded the handlebars into place as well. Luckily a bit of the ol' cutoff tool will take care of those welds in all cases!
I'm currently in the process of stripping it down to the frame so I can blast it and see how much repair has to be done and then its rebuild from there.

Sadly I am the one out of $$ on this deal. Ah well, such is the way things go, like I said, I'll tear it down and rebuild it for something to do.
