R4 turns into R3

[Peter 4 gtl]

Bought a rough trike and it has 4gtl mechanics front end. Body work really bad,,alloy on ply,,spending minimum time over a few months and got it down to the bare chassis, which is built like the forth bridge, so have a good start. I have been buying as many replacement parts as I can think of over this (14) summer in readiness to make this a quick,ish rebuild.,, ie lights front and rear, petrol tank, hard wood for the dash, switches and mounts and a new bench seat to modify to fit. I want to rebuild the motor,,it was running ok but to be sure a strip will do no harm. Will write in again as further progress is made.

It'll be interesting to see photos of the car and of the rebuild. I'd not bother rebuilding the engine unless it is dead from abuse. These engines are bulletproof and don't really wear unless neglected.
