I love projects like this one. 3 times in my life I've got an actual "basket case", most notably the XT500. One side of the stator needed to be rewound and the tweaker I bought it from decided it would be fixed if he split the cases and disassembled every part of it. But he was mostly efficient at not losing too many of the parts. To me it was was like putting together a rather large puzzle that I wasn't familiar with. But 2 months later I had a beast of a bike. A couple of years later I ran across the actual owner of the bike, who had given it to the tweaker to repair, and he offered me the initial $200 I had paid for it. I said nah, I enjoyed riding it for 2 years and it's your bike.
