Ls400 1992 - Sad End

[Mybikes a cx500]

With regards to an MOT, always try to take your vehicle to a tester that does not have a repair shop attached, like halfords do for example, i know sometimes you have to or want to.

I know halfords got slated last year or year before for failing a cars brakes, and fixing them without consulting the owner, they even put super cheap parts on that the owner would not have chosen.

An independant tester with no repair shop does not care if the car passes or fails, they do the test and tell you.

I find you get a better result of pass or fail as they have no interest in saying "it's a bit worn" to drum up business for themselves.

Depending on what you plan to do with it, i may like to take the engine, gearbox and drive train. That lexus v8 trike is still a toy for the making in the back of my mind.

A V8 4L automatic trike, oh my, that would be something,

So , one driven wheel at the back? Tubular frame to support the front struts?

Not fully sure how the engine will sit as yet, until i see it 'up close and personal with its gearbox' then i can judge where it will sit and if i need to turn it back to front, but the frame will be indeed tubular strut all around with bracing to support.

Got to convince the other half yet though as i know it won't be cheap to build.

Cant wait to see the outcome of this project.
