Once you get your old girl running properly, you will be glad you kept the fairing on.

I love watching these type of BIG projects blossom from old to stunning!

Good luck and keep us posted.

You're right! Very nice and it's the rare 2WD mudder edition! Sounds like it's going to be OK internally with the oil fairly clean and the gas not rancid...that's a good sign!

Get it running well and write or carve "I bought it this way" or "let this be a lesson to you" on the air cleaner or some other damaged part..... Looking forward to seeing your progress!
