Wasn't that the one you ripped apart to have the welding redone?

after stripping down the trike to the frame and sending it away for shot blasting it came back like this  gooses trike  gooses trike  gooses trike  gooses trike  gooses trike after seeing this i was wondering if it was worth getting it rewelded or just bin it , a mate came over and said he could make a jig and put it right , if not he could make a new frame , hence he welded it and gave it back . |

whilst the frame was getting rewelded i pulled the engine to bits , did the usual compression test etc before the strip down and the bottom end was sound , so sent the head to get skimmed and new valves and stem seals put in  gooses trike  gooses trike  gooses trike and was left with a bin full of bits to start cleaning , he put a brand new carb on so that was put away and the degreasing started |
