tregath Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Not sure if this thing should be in here or in "other project" thread. This thing is about as other as it gets. http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/6845/img2748k.jpg Its a 1987 volkswagon homebuilt trike. its a 1300 aircooled with 4 speed manual. My old man brought it to do up as he couldnt ride bikes anymore due to a stuffed elbow, which is now fine and hes brought a harley so I have been given this. When I got it there were alot of things to sort, but have since replaced master and wheel cylinders,repaired loom, fitted crappy headlights, indicators and a new exhaust as the one on there was full of holes. Its registered as a car so I can drive it on a car licence http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/1185/img2749q.jpg http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/5803/img2750d.jpg I have met the original builder of it and apparently it was named the weta when he had it. Its been through allot of hands since then so there are allot of rangi mods that need sorting. Plan is get it legal and play with it and see if its my cup of cake or not. I need to sort the last few things pretty smartly as the wife and I are having our first kid in a month. All i need to do is sort a speedo and get it running properly. has new leads and just fitted new points. Volkswagon is a new language to me. Will keep posting updates as things happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tregath Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 just fitted the new exhaust, leads,plugs and new points. Still runs like shit, going to try to get it to the mechanics down the road and see what they think http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/4081/img2802k.jpg new exhaust is a little loud http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/2028/img2801d.jpg Have got the speedo and cable for it from a previous owner. Front end is off a suzuki 750 of some variety. The speedo cable is not long enough to mount in the usual spot so I am getting a bracket made so i can mount it in a different spot off the front fork just above the indicators. Does anyone have hookups for carb kits? Ripco just quoted me $150 incl gst for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
