2003 gasgas wild with kx540 motor custom project

Here ive got my gasgas wild kx500 project i dont have time to finish. I custom mounted my kx500 big bore kx540 motor into my gas gas wild atv. Everything on this is custom. First off motor runs and doesnt start as sits. After we installed motor we had to pull start quad with my scrambler to start. There was so much compression in 1st gear it bent and broke the master link on chain. On second attempt i put in 3rd gear started right up and wanted to wheelie down the street. I rode it into alley we adjusted carb and shut it off. The motor was blowing engine oil out the exhaust. I had put 3 quarts of oil into motor and there was no where for it to go but the exhaust. We then pulled into garage and drained oil. An d put a quart in it what it was supposeed to have in it and it stopped leaking out exhaust but still dripped due to crankcase being full. The silencer is still full of oil and needs rebuilt.Then the carb was leaking fuel and needs the needle and seat replaced or floats adjusted or needs rebuilt. Quad started and ran strong. Now for some of the issues with it. The gas tank sits on carb line going into carb and needs something made to stop that. the kx500 motor had the rear of the case broke.The clutch line was quicksteeled to case as the mounts where broke works jsut fine. Took motor to machine shop and they made me a sleeve and i quiksteeld it works fine and will hold i guarantee it. Also the kickstart i believe needs a new recoil spring its not right you kick it then its like it doesnt catch the gear. As for the kickstarter it needs to be longer i have the part to do it but will have to be welded to make it right. The exhaust leaks out the exhaust port. Ive got a fmf pipe you can get the proper pipe fitment with but will need to take the pipe it has now and cut and put the fmf piece on there and will seal like it should.The steering stem is bent back toward tank but not bad still useable. The rear brembo brake was gone so i custom mounted a gsxr 600 brake caliper on there works just fine and fits disc properly they where same mm.If you have any questions please email me i dont want to misrepresent this project. It will be by far the fastest quad you have ever ridden when done. It scared the shit out of me just when we had it started and i rode it for 10 minutes.This is not for punk 16 year old kids dont even ask to buy if thats you. Its a mechanic special but when you get it going it will be baddest around on the track or dunes i ride trails and this thing thought good in my head but its way to bad for me.Location is Divernon Illinois and im asking $1600 for it as is or make offer.The shocks by them sleves i can take off and get $600 on ebay and the kx500 motor is worth $800-$1000 on ebay minimum.I do have title its not in my name but seller signed it and you just need to sign it and the title will be in your name.If you are erious about buying please message me asking any quetions.
