I might as well start a thread, where best than at the beginning, although the actual start of the trike wont start until a couple of months time because I have a couple of things to sort out first.

No rush on more pics Merv. This evening will do Seriously though, It's your dream, so take your time. Most folk would never even start to build their own vehicle and most of those that do, will never finish. |

Thank you for the support. A little history about me, although I feel I have the capability's to achieve this project I am under no illusions this is going to be done in six months. I have always had a need to put my mark on some thing, when I was single I used to own several mk2 Cortina 1600Es and was in the owners club with the intention of restoring one. How ever after getting marred and having kids this was no longer possibly money wise. Now I'm still marred, 25 years in august this year, kids all grown up, two left home two still at home, now have 3 granddaughters, I now feel this is the time for me, money still tight but slowly slowly catch a monkey or in the song by Johnny Cash I get it one piece at a time. Either way its durable, so wish me luck. P S I will be asking for lots of advice as Dave aka Old's as found out, by the way Dave you have been a big help. |

Might be worth while checking the engine number. For an 850 it should read ##/85/##### The carb fitted suggests it's a 750, but that may been added later. 750 or 850 not a problem either way. |

Ok, just got the V5C out and the engine number quotes 0B/85/59053, knowing you cant trust the log book with what was in the car I went and checked it against the engine and it's a match, so what engine do I have?
