A junkyard Chrome El Tigre

[The Restore Kid]

Found this thing at the junkyard yesterday.. :glare: Ben said they traded 3 chainsaws for it, JUST for me.. :doah: So I had to buy it..

If it weren't for the cracked neck and big ole home made gusset, the chrome would have cleaned up great.. :doah: OH and the home made rear foot peg so you can USE the break, as they have the stupid backwards breaks.. :glare:

WTH, it'll sell good at the auction I guess.. :lol:

So is this bike.. :mellow: I just got it to keep it from getting shipped to China on a freighter.. I will probably put an engine on it so I can say I've drove one...

Then probably ship it to auction and make 3 or 4 bucks.. :shrug:
