Capone Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) Ok, it started about a month ago, I picked up a 99 shee for $1k. Stripped it down within a week and a half to the frame. Sold everything that I wanted to replace on it, (almost everything) and I'm building from the frame up. Here's a few pictures and some plans I got for it. .. I know how much you guys like build ups, and you can keep me motivated. My garage as of right now: Misc shit laying around: motor nice n clean (wish I had before pics): old stock jugs: stator side (rust stained): I've tried everything from steel brushes to diesel to get the rust out of this side.

fastbanshee4u Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 Maybe he wanted some rims with strength to them,or later will use for some more abuse,or likes to get some air. Quote
Wallrat Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 I've gotten about 5-6 feet of air on my blue labels. Rims were fine, nuts were not. Quote
locogato11283 Posted March 28, 2006 Report Posted March 28, 2006 thats sweet and all but i think you sold the most important thing!! the frame!! Quote
Wallrat Posted March 29, 2006 Report Posted March 29, 2006 Haha...he's prolly got an LSR titanium w/ 250r geometry being made as we speak! Quote
Capone Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Posted March 29, 2006 nono, I still got the frame but its being sandblasted for powder coating..lol. Red labels are they heavy ones? I thought it was the other way around. Maybe I'll use the red label rims for normal use, cause I don't dune that often. I just picked them up cause all 4 tires and rims were rode on like 3 times and cost 282 shipped. Thanks for the input guys! Quote
Wallrat Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 Yeah Red's are the heaviest, blacks are the medium, and blues are the thin and light ones. I've been running blues on my sand tires since I got my shee and haven't bent one yet. I like to jump alot and on stock suspension. At 220lbs, I've exhausted the shocks to the point of hitting the frame more than once. My view has always been, if ur gonna land hard enough to bend something, would you rather it be a $40 wheel or a $400 axle? Anyway man its cool, I just felt like busting ur balls a little cuz I'm secretly jealous. Quote
rocketboy Posted May 6, 2006 Report Posted May 6, 2006 gotta love jims port work ,those passion intakes look very nice IMO Quote
Toomey Banshee Posted May 6, 2006 Report Posted May 6, 2006 Damn that motor look nice. You must have a protein stained garage floor by now with that motor, swingarm and a few other things laying around, waiting to be installled. NICE!!! Quote
