The rear hitch with lower arms bolted in place.. Yep the roll bar will certainly need a bit of trimming! Just to see how it would look I dug my 3 point towing frame thingy out to see how it would look... Good me thinks Before chopping any bit's off the roll bar I quickly welded on this bit of bracing to stop the RB from twanging out of shape. Off came the RB for a bit of surgery, first a bit of marking out.. Chopped.. All the opening will be plated over in time That's better, the top arm "fits" now It was at this point that I had had enough of trying to see what I was doing through the GT's fenders etc.. So off it all came More to come in a bit, I need to get started on dinner.. Thanks Paul, there's plenty more to come.

I hope to have it painted by the end of the month. Thanks Thanks, I'm very happy with the valves. Even if the tires do clear, I'm going to raise the fenders at least an inch, just to make them look right. Thanks I've been very busy at work, so I haven't had any time to work on the 444, until today. I got the short block assembled, and all is going together very nice. I still need to pick up some fasteners for the engine, but I'm hoping to get it painted tomorrow. Here are a few pics. Matt

Father and son on a wet day out but we managed yo have fun

Found this handy little tip on how to build a cheap baking soda air blaster for cleaning carbs or other small objects etc http://www.aircooledtech.com/tools-on-the-cheap/soda_blaster/ also watch the the short video demonstration test http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZhBQXm4yBY&feature=player_embedded#t=3

Oh go on, you know you want to, go on go on GO ON !!!

I saw you first

Looking good Ian, I'm following this thread with interest...

Great progress Matt, loving the new tires

that engine looks brand new now, just hoping that all goes well for you keep up the great work

Hi there don't linch me but as a non wheelhorse owner i find these conversion / adaption machines of great interest there are some fantastic machines that have already been produced and it nice to see more in the pipeline, looking forward to seeing this develop

Yet another cracking build Nigel, you should write a book with all your build's history

Nice fine grey ring line on those Valves Matt . Have a hunch that the Fenders will need jacking up about 1.1/2" min to clear those Chunky Rears. That should give you a nice' Enclosed Seat' feeling and have the right look as well.

not much progress the rate your going you'll be painting it at the end of the month. love the look of the new tyres they make it look even more chunky will be on the look out for some of those ribbed tyres for my machine which i will be working on in the very near future. thanks for the update

ian you take ingenuity to a whole new level
