    What can I make out of a trashed 3 wheeler?

    I have a 84 200es for sale, it is all messed up, rear axel bent bad, no front bearings, but is fixable, runs and will dirve with straightened axel. Not haveing any bites on the sale, so I was thinking of makin something outa it. Like a go kart or sumthin. Can anyone see any uses for the parts off a 3 wheeler?

    You see, I would fix it, but I"m completely broke, I'm in the hole about a grand. I bought a perfect condition 200es for $800. It was unbelievably perfect in everyway. Not a dintor scratch anywhere, everything worked, nto a problem at all. And on the second time out on it I got in a bad accident and bent the frame, broke the plastics, axel was wraped into the frame, rims broke and bent, tires are still ok(almost brand new), all the racks were badly bent, lights were trashed, brake levers broke off, handle bars wrapped around the gas tank, tank has huge dents in the sides now. $800 down the drain pretty much. Then I bought parts and used parts off my old 3 wheeler to fix this one. And all the money came form my parents. So I was just thinking of selling off everything I didnt need. but no one will buy it so now I was just wondering if I can make something outa it. It is fixable but is not worth it. there are no plastics left, it is parted together with 200s, 200e, and 200es parts. Its deffinetally not worth fixing up. So either I sell it make somthin outa it or its just gunna be junked.

    Sorry to hear about that accident man, sounds like you're lucky that you lived through it! Please, don't make something else out of it, as that would be a waste. If your going to make something out of her, make a trike!!! Either that or part her out like I said before. Someone out there is always looking for parts. JMO

    I'm 16, Yes I"m lucky to be here typing this right now. Wouldnt believe how well I got off. I want a fat cat soooo bad. But would bekinda hard to make. I think I'm gunna some how, buildit back into a trike. I wish it was chain drive then could just make a new rear end. I cant get the axel outa the rear end. I got the one outa my other one fine, just took off 2 nuts and slid it out, but the brake drum wont come off this. I've beat it, pounded on it, and thrown it to the ground, the drum wont come off. It has to come off for the axel to slide out. Any ideas.

    Some more old 3 wheeler pics. These are from when it was my only 3 wheeler and I used it. This is the plow I made, IT works great, I just wish the 3 wheeler weighed more, I always loose traction, but always have the power. I still have the plow and will useit on my new 3 wheeler this winter.
