Well it looks good in this photo.....
But it's even better in the flesh!
I saw it registered, and running today.
I can hear the horn (and I'm deaf ) I can't hear the engine but saw it start with a little puff of smoke and could feel the body vibrate.
Great job Keith.
Onto the tractor now?
Great work Keith, keep em coming.:)
Cheers, Mick.
looks good!, well done...
if you dont mind me asking roughly how much did this project set you back?
(feel free to tell me to shove off!)
as I said looks schmick (love the rego!)
Cheers
(almost as "(birma)bright" as one of yours Killer? :D (thanks for the photos!) )
Hi Keith
The Rova looks great.
To fend off raindrops, along with the policy of that you must encourage rain drops to reach the ground, what type of top have you in mind?
.
Funny you should ask. My wife does not like her hair being blown around and on this drive had her eyes shut so I am working on a top. Either that or fit her with motorcyclists visor.Quote:

Axles the same. Chassis I was given. Galv bulkhead was attarched to the SW chassis I put under Tristan. Paid for new brake lines, & wiring. $150 odd for the vinyl and foam for the seats. Sewed them myself. No paint.
Tyres I borrowed from the 109 untill I know what size will work. Dash lights , wiring and fuses from autobarn another $80 but still some left for the next project.
Really your guess is as good as mine but its fun.

The first solution.Quote:
