Picked this up at the end of the Summer...seemed to have been lightly used, but had a few cracks repaired, and the wrong seat on it. It didn't run (no pulse), so I jumped through many hoops to replace the seals (one was completely blown out), but now it is all back together and running like a top! Put a new seat on it (thanks to Bill for the cover...didn't need it for that other project!), and a newish windshield, and it looks pretty good...IMHO!

So I think I will leave it! Has character!!

If plastic panels are just cracked,I rivet a piece of thin steel to the backside.Good to go.I can't seem to throw the panels away because of cracks.
