well i just bought this sled on monday for 1900$ the previous owner hit a tree and bent the bulkhead (very common on theese sleds), and broke the stabilizer bar. here is a little build thread of the progress im making. the bulkhead should be here on monday and im hoping to be riding it by next weekend.i also scubbed the engine compartment and all the panels i will have to take pics of all that. i will post more pics as i progress.

thanks for the comments guys. as far as parts im going to have

250 for a new bulkhead (flying nun is what the dealer calls it)  
300ish for a new track i am going to run the one thats on it for the rest of the year

so about 550 in parts to make it in tip top shape again. so for about 2450$ ill have a pretty nice sled to ride.

it has 4500mi on it but it still starts and runs good. it was a friend of mines sled he hit the tree and my other buddies dad bought it at auction and i decided to pick it up. when he had it he never had any problems with it.
