After owning a couple scramblers at different times and then having to sell them I decided to build one the way I wanted it. I started collecting parts in May 2009 and by June 2010 I had enough parts to start putting it together. Everything has been rebuild or replaced with new. Last week I finished it and started driving it on the road. I say "finished" but we all know how that goes.
I'd like to say thank you to eveyone one this site for their inspiration and thank you to my wife for putting up with me and supporting me on this adventure.
So to start I'll post a picture of what I started with, an 83 frame.
And this is what I built
