Frankenwheeler, frame extension looks like an Astro kit. A close up of the a-arms and inside front wheels would make ID easy. OrangeCounty's is definately an Astro.

I really like that Tri Z conversion as well. Frankenwheeler.....That is the first T3 one I have seen so pretty rare in my book

I was thinking about that front end on that Tecate. I was wondering if it Aftermarket. It looks to good to be home made. Front Suspension is Big Time. Someone did alot of work and spent alot of money *Edited**Edited* you got it. Good looking out O.C. This Tecate is getting better and better every time I think about it. Man I wish I could stumble on stuff like that just once.

dont we all meat. i never find nice deals. different t?3?4? haha. i'd do like oc said, get another frame, and keep the conversion the way it is. to bad it doesnt have a nose on it, would look sweet i bet. the very first t4!!!!

**FrankenWheeler** · 01-05-2007, 06:19 AM

Alrighty, I guess the hood is getting put back on tomorrow~!
I thought the mad max look was kinda tighty, hehe.

Thanks all you guys for taking a look, yer making my mutant son and I feel right at home!

Tim, I'll get some more pics up so you or someone can I.D. the kit, thx.

The deals seem to be on Craigslist guys, I've come across several smoking one's in the last year or so.

thanks Tim, heres some closer arm and spindle pics.

Also put the hood on. I made some mounts so the nose sits higher up, I'm going to put a bigger bumper on it to even things up...
Whaddya guys think?

Kinda reminds me of the old Suzuki lt250 front. I love it!!! <--Is that OK to say on here?

**Orangecnty250r** · 01-05-2007, 08:29 PM

Cool !!!!!! You are the proud owner of a rare t3 conversion!!!!!!

**edog** · 01-05-2007, 08:52 PM

Nice Trike.

**Tecate250** · 01-06-2007, 04:26 PM

I seen a front fender that went to a 3to 4 conversion for the 85 tecate.
It had a sticker where the light hood would be on the tecate 4. It said 3X4. The fender came with a stock rear fender for the tecate 3. Was going to get it cause it was cheap but I like 3 wheels.

**FrankenWheeler** · 01-06-2007, 04:56 PM

yeah, I think I saw the same one on ebay not too long ago.
wonder what it went for?

**Tecate250** · 01-06-2007, 05:08 PM

not much
100$ or less.

I can say its NOT an Astro kit based on the a-rms and spinldes, as well as the brake setup. Astro used horeseshoe shaped upper arms, and did not use Heim joints. I dont know what it is, though. It is possible that it was once an Astro, and had been repaired and modified with whatevere they could find. The frame extension does look like an Astro, as you can compare it to mine.

Braide lines and all.... Looks to be a pretty darn good conversion to me :-)
