Could this frame be repaired to a good, strong & safe standard?

Any & all comments appreciated

Unlimited pockets? Yes.

Is it worth it? I don't know.

It looks pretty jacked. Will an engine bolt in without usual trouble?

Geez mate, I didn't realise it was so bad from the pics you sent me. $:-\$

Any outcome?

I wouldn't even try to fix that.

Woof yeah... You might be better off tracking down a new frame.

Fixing that is *probably* possible for someone with the right ninja skills. But, personally I'd not be confident of it without a bunch of testing that would make it more costly than just replacement.

Unfortunatley the best guy in the country with those skills passed away some time ago. He was a great guy.

yes, it could be fixed..
If you had a frame jig equipment and skillz, probably an easy job.
I can recommend a couple of people in WA that could, but you'll be paying big time...
