Very nice. What are you doing for bodywork?

brilliant!
not sure of the position of your steering rack though. the arms look a funny angle

Looks like fun!

What bike is in the back?

hi smart51.
Bodywork will be sheet alloy screwed to the chassis via rivnuts at first and maybe a gf moulding when the car is proven.

Blakep82, the suspension unit fitted is not the one I will be using and will be shorter which will bring the angle more paralell to the wishbone.
all comments welcome . good or bad

The bike is a Honda cb72. 1967.
allways wanted one when I was a teenager in the sixty's.
Finaly got one when I was sixty

Or did you mean in the back of the three wheeler?........... That is a piaggio 400cc twist and go scooter engine

I recognised the fuel tank from my build! When do you think you'll be ready for MSVA? At the rate I'm going I think It will be summer again before I'm ready.

My niece bought a Peugeot Satalis scooter from my friend's shop and I fetched it and filled it up with petrol as she was at work. It was only 250cc but went round the clock like nobody's business. I ride a 900 Hornet and was surprised how this little 250 motor performed and if your 400 is as good percentage wise you should enjoy the ride.

was it the one with the supercharger? That might have something to do with it.
