If my pictures come through, do you guys think that this is rebuildable>

Pipercolt,

Not sure why you are struggling with your pictures. If you would like to send me a couple of them at bruce@gogodiablo.com, I'll try to post them for you. Then we can see if it is your pictures that are the problem or the technique.

Bruce

Absolutely!! Your most heart wrenching part of the restoration will be cutting the body in half to replace the deck but this is not as difficult as thought. We are here to help you in any way possible.

Hi Bruce
It looks like my pictures came through OK.
Thanks
Bob

OK, I will let you know when I start on it, probably this summer. Right now I am rebuilding a 74 Elan.
Thanks
Bob

With Bruce & Barrie on you're side you can't go wrong
Let the rebuild begin!

Good Luck & Bottoms Up from Horicon, WI

Hi Bob,

Good pictures. Thanks for sharing. I've seen Hus Skis in worse shape than yours come back to life. I'm confident with the help of the Hus Ski experts from the forum, it could be like new again.

One note, I see you have a little rust rot in the motor base area. That motor base is not a part we show on the parts list, but we have supplied them before. In fact, we sent one all the way to Bruce in British Columbia for his 444 restoration. If you decided you needed one, we could figure something out.

Hi Bob

If you have the engine, clutchs, jack shaft and brake assembly you have agreat machine very redoable

I had to replace an engine pan , it worked out fine

Bruce in B.C. Canada

Hi Bruce
I don't have any brake assembly or the recoil starter. I am sure someone will have one of each on here.
Bob

Hi yes i did half a engine pan and it looked great and my machine was about the same shape as yours!There is nothing that cannot be rebuilt!
