Picking up THREE more FL350R's this weekend. Oh boy!! =)

- One garage-kept running machine w/ new fenders
- One work-in-progress machine which needs parts that I already have.
- One complete cage
- Bunch of extra parts

Price...it's a secret! =P

Planning on keeping the runner (for my wife or buddy to ride), finishing the WIP buggy and selling, and then taking the extra cage and putting on buggy #1's j-arms, extra rear trailing arm sets, extra Engine, extra axles, wheels, etc and making a 3rd runner. Plan is to keep my original 350 (for which I had a build-log going), swap out with LT a-arms, and have the two other 350's to sell/trade for a clean FL400R. =) Then my arsenal will be complete with a '88 Quadzilla, '85 LT FL350R, and '89-90 FL400R...someday.

Stay tuned for more project threads...

Very pleased with this rescue effort! Well worth the 8.5 hr round trip. And so glad they had a loader to plop everything on my trailer.

Two complete stock buggies that have been sitting tarped for a year. Both need some cleanup, at least one top end job, rear tires, and some tuning. One has a comet 94c. I was pleased to see that even the mirrors were still intact. But these will get disassembled, gone thru, and resurrected with water-cooled conversion and all the little tweaks.

Also got a complete extra cage, electronics, top end, gearbox, wheels, air box, fuel tank, a new set of white factory fenders still in the bags, good starter, factory starter rebuild kit, 6 used rear fenders, 3 decent front fenders, air scoops, and misc other pieces. Even threw in an LT250r bottom end I spotted.

About halfway to the Oddys, I dropped a bunch of Suzuki parts to a guy for $750. The Oddy stuff was $2500 (was asking $3k), so only cost me $1750 in the end. Stars were aligned for this deal. Just won't be able to get to reworking these rigs until buggy #1 and my Zilla are purring, but will do some disassembling to get things set to sit. This was a deal that was a must - couldn't pass it up.

Not sure when I'll have pics.

These 3 Oddys will NOT be lost! :)

My addiction is getting so bad that when I was watching the 49ers and Saints playoff game yesterday - everytime I saw Drew BREES name - I kept reading Drew BR8ES. :shock: I'm almost ashamed to admit it - but they say admiting your addiction is the first part of recovery. :-)

Well, into barn for a little while. Upon arrival, I discovered my spot in my dads 'nice' barn had been taken. Boooo. So into the hay barn...with the cats and barn swallows.

Was ticked about that and the fact that half of the buggies have a nice salt spray coating, so decided not to dismantle the pile and take pics.

Congrats on the 3 new additions to your fleet!. Please do not forget to ask Randy @ odysseysalvage.com for any parts you;ll need. I am sure he would appreciate the bis.
Oh btw if you need a LT FRONT END kit for any of those I have a couple here (ALL AFTERTHOUGHT KITS)I would part with, just a FYI.
