jesus!!!! that is bad.

You really should name and shame whoever sold you this. There could be people who have bought off them in the past and riding around on a death trap without realising.

Sounds like half of the frame got melted on a giant lava bowl and then just rode as it was... Never buy restored unless from a close friend or reputable dealer.
