    New here with a basket case 1980 Honda 185

    I just was gifted a basket case of a 1980 Honda 185 3 wheeler.
    A coworkers kid picked it up to work on and his grandpa told him it was dangerous and that he would give said kid $300 to take it to the dump.
    Coworker stepped in and said before you take it to the dump, contact these guys they like projects.
    His son dropped it off later that evening.

    There are 5 other 3 Honda 3 wheelers in the backyard at the moment, so we have an idea of what is needed to revive the poor thing.
    I am planning on trying to only put money into it that I make by selling other stuff I have laying around.
    Stuff that is from other projects as well as some scrap metal should provide plenty of cash to inject into the old wheeler.

    There is no time frame as I don't need to have this one up and running anytime soon.
    I recently rescued a 1986 Honda 125 TRX quad for that.

    Awesome! I am planning to pick up some remnants of a 1980 ATC185 in the winter. It is in a barn full of wasps and bees and its not worth getting stung over so I will wait.
    I was told it was in rough condition and would be a parts machine.
    Put your butt on the inside fender or end up on the ground!
