yeah, there are no patchs in it at all. to be honest i can sell the tailer for more than i have in the whole thing. a customer brought it up yesterday with 3 wal-mart bags full of parts, and no lower end or carbs and asked me how much it would be for me to get it going for them. i said at my rate ($45/hr) i would need about 15-20hrs getting it water worthy plus about $2500 in parts. then he asked me how much were they worth done, i said about 3000. he just let out a huge sigh. i asked him how much he wanted for it right now. he asked what i'd give him. i told him 200 cash right now. he came back at 250 and we would go transfer the title right then, sooooo... i did lol.

i'm still trying to decide what to do with it, it all depends if i can find a used 717 block and carbs for a desent price. if i can't i'm going to rip it apart.
