Dad's Trike. . .

 Here it is fellas, A hot new project from the Big Fella. This new project has special meaning because Andrew is making this trike for his old man, John, to get around on during thr warmer months. Motor is the Holden 'Starfire' and auto removed from a Sunbird. First attempts at setting out the trike on a bike jig. . .
 Add some bars and a seat and put the diff in place and all of a sudden you've got the making of a trike. Just for those who are interested, the diff is straight out of a tubbed Hatchback and is a shortened 9inch with billet axels, it's also running about 15inch rims, wide that is!!!
Drop a tank in place and prop up the seat and things are looking better. for those with the sharp eyes, you will have noticed that the front forks have been broght back in by approx., 100mm.
The tank will also be split and lowered. . .
