Ok guys....now I have a real problem. I could use some advice. Seriously.
....no, shooting her won't solve the problem.....
Ok, I'm supposed to pick up a 1977 Honda GL1000 Goldwing at the end of the month for $200. I've posted pics of it. It's a real basket case. I'm going to have to do a complete strip on it, and pray the frame is still solid, then build it up from there.
Today while in town I was talking about it to a buddy of mine, when he introduced me to a friend of his. His buddy has a 1984 Pontiac Fiero that needs some work (clutch, neutral switch, alternator), but other than that it's in fully operational condition with low miles on it. He offered it to me for $200 as well, on one condition: he gets 50% of any profits from parting out and selling the pieces I don't need.
When I first looked at building a trike, I had originally decided I was going to go with a VW powered trike, but couldn't find a VW that was reasonably priced anywhere near me, so I switched over to the idea of using a motorcycle as my donor vehicle, and found the Goldwing. Now I get offered a rear/mid-engine car and could go back to my original idea....and I'm stuck. I honestly don't know which way is going to be more advantageous.
Could any of you add some thoughts for me to consider? I'd really appreciate your input on this one.
Thanks
