OK so this is my Three wheeler 211915211916
It has been sitting since 1998 from the best guess... it is a family atv. It is/was my fiances dads. I am rebuilding it for her because it's sentimental (mostly she has a picture of her and her dad on it when she was a kid, and with our newborn when she becomes the same age, wants to remake that picture with her dad and our newborn). On top of that, I really wanna go have fun with it lol.
My question is... and I can get more pics if needed, I am assuming by looking at it that it will need pretty much EVERYTHING replaced.. the frame itself however looks pretty decent. Going by finding parts on eBay, it was looking around 1000-1500 in parts just to fix it up, but that was doing EVERYTHING, and I was just adding in my head. is it worth it? I also found a 185 here https://offerupnow.com/item/detail/267634/honda-185-atc (Sorry if this isn't allowed, I will remove if asked, but I just wanted to show what I found), and wondering if I just buy that, I could just swap parts around and have a fully functional 185s? I want to use as much of the original 185 as I possibly can to keep it nostalgic or whatever lol..
I just really want some good opinions. I am extremely new to this type of thing as I am more of a off-roader/mudder in my Xterra, but have always loved riding quads/dirt bikes and the such.
Thank you in advance. I greatly appreciate it.
