I'm using stuff iv accumulated,rather than buying to much ,and obviously it's in mock up stage..I had an old propshaft left from my brothers v8 corsair..and it was the same flange/uj as the jag axle..so saved me buying another propshaft ...I'm just waiting on a disc for the handbrake before I cut it to the correct length ..I also found an old fuel tap( brass) which I cleaned ..so now need some 6m ally pipe/tube to weld on the bottom of the tank..

And these,the black and blue trike I built for Martin my good buddy which I recently purchased from him but I couldn't ride it with out serious mods ( he's 6-3 I'm 5-7,oops ?) so I gave it a clean up/revamp and sold it on..the bandit chop was my sons..but his van engine blew up so he had to sell it to buy another..blooming shame..the rather ratty looking trike is my cousins..the day we got it home..it's now going through a very slow metamorphosis ..

Major leak in the workshop so didn't get much done..made a start on the mudguard mounts. And did some end caps for the front of the chassis rails..made the speedo mount and thought I'd show you the rocker cover breather
