BJ 45 Frame issues

[Wayneraintree]

I think I am in need of a frame if anyone has one.

The 1984 BJ45 I got recently has some problems and I wanted to post an ad to see if by chance, anyone has a GOOD, worth buying and shipping BJ45 frame they would sell.

I am calling all around so if there are any suggestions as to where I might find one maybe I've overlooked please post up.

I'll post some pictures of the issues and hopefully there will be some helpful feedback.

I've not had experience with this kind of frame problem so maybe some feedback on whether it is repairable would help me.

Is this even road worthy?

Ehhh... if that is the only rust in the frame it is a walk in the park!!!

Eureka!

If anyone has a frame they will part with for a fair price let me know.

Aqualu may be my only option though.

I actually have those diagonal pieces laying around here. Not the original, but replacement ones. Used to be on my frame before i completely replaced it.
Although shipping might be expensive for these heavy pieces...

Thats pretty minor. How is the C channel looking? Just before the hump for the rear axle?
im currently hunting for a frame for mine its 1000x worse then what your showing haha

It's not real bad but not getting better. I'm not a fan of holes in the frame.

Aqualu is 3400$ shipped to the Midwest US for their frame.

I may part with it and let someone else do the swap. It's a driver now but frame issues will need addressed. It rides better than my 67' 45 I sold 76FJ40!
