    Big Red Project

    Well time for another project.

    I've always wanted a 250 big red so the price was right on this "project". I paid $130 for this one and the motor and drive train work great, but extremely rough around the edges.It's a 1985 250 es. So, I figure it will take around 6-9 months for this one. I plan on possibly another camo one with the 2 inch lift like someone else did here

    Hey thanks a lot guys. I appreciate it. I think this will be no worse than my last rebuild, which was a 185s. The pics are here some where on this site. I will have to search

    X2, save it! It will more than likely cost more to build it, than it would to just buy a turn key clean runner, but what fun would that be?
    Btw, nice job on the 185!

    I agree with Larry on the 'no camo'. Keep it Red! Ha ha. Oh well, it will be a great restore nonetheless, especially looking at the sweet job you did on that 185!
