Nice. What are those rear arches from?
I ordered them from the UK http://www.sgftrikes.com/trike-mudguards~2.htm

Pretty good quality, and really thin, but strong and light.

That is the mighty 9" Ford rear end. Overkill for a car this light, but it might go racing some day.

And carefully designed to be a impractical and uncomfortable as possible. thumbup

Next one will have a roof of sorts, this is either baking hot or soaking wet.

Hi King Herald.

Love the Rod, gotta ask that as you brought the kit bodyshell in from abroad, did you use a donor car to enable you to register it as street to get a licence plate, if so what was the donor ?

Cheers buddy.

The bubble has burst, we are thinking of moving back to the UK so the house will be on the market very soon. frown

Be sad to see it go, but I'm just about done here, daughter has always hated it, wife is bored, no job, nothing to do. I retired last year and it is getting tedious dealing with backwards third world shyte every time I leave the house. Roads are crowded, and rubbish, driving anywhere is a ball ache.

Anybody interested in a house on the farthest perimeters of civilisation, guessing around the 200,000 quid range, valuations guy coming in a few days.

Need to sell the cars too.....

Austin Healey 3000 project...





And the hot rod... cryfrowngrumpyweeping

Ahh sorry to hear that. I'm sure you will bounce back in the UK quickly.

I hope so mate. I'm back in sunny England now, hot rod and Healey sold, house is up for sale.....

The wife is still over there trying to sell the place.

Container is due to be filled tomorrow, so all our worldly goods should hopefully arrive here late February. Until then I dont even have a screwdriver to my name here. I feel naked.
