my buddy crashed his 250ex. so we switched frames and know i have his old frame. the front is bent to the left pretty bad. what can i do with this? if it worth anything?

any comments would be appreciated.

 

99 out of 100 times you're better off replacing the frame. Sometimes if it's not bent too bad or depeding on where it's bent you can fix it.

 

maybe i didnt word the topic to well.we already replaced the frame with a new one. but now we have the bent frame lying around. i want to know if we could do anything with this old frame? or if it is worth anything?

thank- sorry i didnt make myself clear

 

A fabrication shop could fix it for you. Is that Richmond VA or Indiana? There are numerous race shops in Indiana that will bend, cut and reweld for you who are very good. Try and look up a race car shop anywhere near you and ask them, they can hook you up with professional welders and fabricators. They usually charge $40 to 50 and hour and will probably take them 2 to 3 hours depending on how bad it is. I am not sure how much a repaired frame is worth, but probably $300 or more.

 

hey thanks for the advice. and i live near richmond virginia.

thanks for the help

 

Is the frame comlpete? A-arms etc. you might think about selling the parts off it.

 

i thought about that but its not a rolling chassis. but its not complete. all it is, is the frame itself. thanks for the help
