I wouldn't exactly call this a restoration project because I'm just trying to fix this thing up to ride not for asthetic purposes. Here's the story, picked this thing up for $150 bucks the guy said the carb was shot. This guy obviously didn't know a thing about this trike. There was a wasp nest in the fuel inlet of the carb, blocking off the fuel supply completely; however there was a short in the wiring harness. I went round and round trying to find the problem, but I just broke down and ordered another harness off ebay. Plugged in the "new" harness and she fired right up. As far the engine goes, she's great, the same cannot be said for the fenders and frame. The right foot peg twisetd right off the frame so off I went to ebay again. Woulda had to pull the engine to weld a new pipe correctly, so hell I might as well get a decent frame. Picked one up for $125 including the swing arm. The fuel tank was rusted from the inside, so I cream coated it, then put jb weld on the outside to seal up the pits. Put some nice layers of bondo to cover the weld job. I've got the pics posted below. Next I'm working on the fenders, got them pop riveted with some steel reinforcement then fiberglassed. When I'm done with the bondo job and the rack, I'll post the picks in the next few days. she's a work in progress and I'll try to update as I go.
