81 250r, is it worth the hassle?

[slippy4]

Im thinking of getting a 81 250r that needs work to it, my question is, is it worth all the hassle of doing it or should i just get a 85-86 and be done with it? are the parts fairly easy to come by? are they costly? thanks

Just get a 85-86 you'll be 10 times happier with it, trust me.

thats exactly what i was thinking, but i dont have really any money and ive never seen a 85-86 for my price range, as i was thinking as a long term project for this.

I just picked up 2 rolling chassis 1 is in very good shape the other for parts. He tossed in a buildable motor to boot. Money is the reason I got this and not 85/86 but one day it'll come.

whats wrong with the 2nd roller that its for parts? any chance youd wanna get rid of it?

Just holding on till I figure out what I'm gonna use.
