There is to much missing, for me to want to be seen on that thing. You could get a parts bike or sell it for parts. Any money you put in that bike will be lost unless you restore it. The chopped frame could be repaired, but would be impractical, because if you had to weld back in, you would use the new frame. I think you will have a very hard time selling it or getting your money out when you are done. Sometimes we make mistakes and it is better to just cut our loses. Ron
