SAVED this odyssey from sinking into the ground. got it off a guy in PA

Another picture of the almost dead machine

Believe it or not the machine was 90% complete.! Frame was good and straight. Skid plate did not have one dent in it. that 90% was mostly frozen and rusted solid but it was all there. id say 35% useable /rebuildable parts including motor (( Internal Combustion Engine ? ))/trans and most of the metal body parts...THIS thing must have been used a few times and something stupid happened to it and someone left it for dead! gave it away and some idiot rattle canned it !

GOT IT INSIDE FINALLY..after 20 years in the woods! was going to part it out but after i looked into this machine more and morei realized this thing was never ridden! frame was near flawless besides the rust and spray paint! nothing was damaged underneath! not damage anywhere except for the bumper!!! .

GOT IT INSIDE FINALLY..after 20 years in the woods!

I sandblasted the frame myself and had it powdercoated. went with a custom olor scheme. to many red ones out there!

i had the frame done in a RAL royal blue with some fine pearl(shattered glass) to give it a little sparkle in the sun! went with a candt red acent for subframes and some small mounts / brackets

frame in my shop with some part bolted on. notice the speedchaser front bumper with custom diamond plate bash plate in the front! BTW that bumper is the best looking thing out there for bumpers for these things. i highly recommend contacting him to get a few :)

here is the honda trx 450 arm setup on the subframes. uses all the 450 susp in the front. shocks, a arms, spindles, disc brakes etc. makes it really WIDE. not trail friendly anymore...measures 64" wide when wheels are on!

wheels and shocks installed. decided to remove the spings to have coated black. going with works for the rears so i figured id match them up . ordered them in blk/little red spring. didnt want the basic white/blue ones!

rear axle carrier rebuild. new all balls (r) bearings and new seals

carriers in the swingarms with candy red bracket

rear susp hung on for a qucik look how its gonna look! went with the works shocks (non resiviours) i was being cheap!

rear end shot....waiting on a tranny gasket to put in my newly rebuild trans. ill post pics as i work on it. let me know what you guys think.

man that's nice so far, good job. I want to hear how that A arm kit works out for you ... I am probably going to get one for my sled project. I have 400ex arms though.

Bravo Angry!! Great to see you reserrect a deralict buggy, into a family project into a family fun thing,PLUS then pass it on to others when you decide to sell.

looks really nice, good job. You can reduce the width a little by going with stock trx wheels. All you need is jim 327 Engine to match. Very nice. Thanks for sharing. You related to Mudbogger by chance.

LOL, I was thinking the same thing, I am adopted you know.lOVE THE PICTURES!!!

nice job, looks sharp, darn shame you cant narrow up the front

Looks pretty flashy.

Can't wait to see the finished product.

rebuilt transmission installed. i blasted and painted the cases apart. all new seals and gasket. came out ok, blasted and painted axles gunmetal to match the hubs and PILOT steering wheel chassis. pressed in new u joints and came out flawless. will always look good since they wont get rusty like oem uncoated axles

Wow I'm in total aw that is the coolest pic





speed

Project looks great.

I need to do this upgrade to my '85 fl-350.

Can you list the manufacturer.

Thanks.

I just saw this today and it's way nicer looking in person. The pics don't do it justice. The powder coat is a real cool metallic.

Wow that looks nice, Great job!!
