That sounds like fun, bikes and quads are nice they don’t take up much space and they’re a little cheaper to mess with. I have the right set up to do cars so I’m taking advantage while I can. A guy I know heard my friend and I flip cars and that BMW was in his mother’s driveway for 3 years, it leaked oil bad and the center screen didn’t work. Turned out to have the N54 slant 6 twin turbo motor which is apparently very desirable. The best was he wanted it gone so bad that he gave it to my friend and I for FREE. So we sold it the day after trailering it to my place for 1700 bucks
So I took that money and got this fusion and hopefully can make 3 or 400 off this.
Do you guys just try to flip low risk bikes?I’m just trying to to make a few hundred bucks on each one just as spending money, these two have been a few mins away from my house.
Picked up this 08 Fusion today
It’s actually more like the end of the trail, there’s a river that’s pretty deep to cross depending on the time of year. So the trail ends and this is a big circle turn around type thing. It goes up pretty steep with a big V notch and then this is where you come down. It can be ran in either direction though!
I didn’t end up doing anything to it except putting a battery in it and freeing up the ebrake. I winched it onto my trailer with my 4runner haha. Sold it in less than a day. It leaked a ton of oil, like a few litres in about a minute!!
I think that’s the best way to learn to wheel. 31s rear locker and a manual. Figure out how to get up and down obstacles in that setup and it prepares you well for bigger tires, lower gears and F/R lockers!
My friends second gen crawling on a J**p and way back when the Orange Sapphire was actually orange
Yeah actually thanks for asking:
to to do list is as follows:
-fix blower motor (changed the resistor and got it working again in all fan speeds but it sounds like it’s full of marbles)
-add in line coolant temp sensor because the gauge on the cluster has never worked properly
-wire up CB radio
– would love to figure out the rear window, kinda want to by pass all the safeties
– a set of half doors with cupholders would be cool
– I never hooked up the 02 sensor because the one I had off the headed was a one wire style and the one the body of the truck had was the bigger style.
-quiet down the squeaks and rattles.
Nice to see you’re taking it apart and doing it right the first time!
i have some debris in my blower fan I should really be doing the same thing as you!
pretty cool it’s a 4 bolt main three fitty!!
EI’d be interested in coming since it’s close to me (no worries if you’re full.)
What kind of trails are they? I do have a CB which I need to hook up if that helps. I should double check with the wife if I’m available first though, provided you have room.
