Nice to see work on KPL continuing

not long until she is road worthy now!  

if your planning on taking her out doorless/roofless like that, I hope you strap yourself in well, you dont want to take a corner too fast and fall out of the car!

Did you ever buy something because it was cheep...... then didn't know what to do with it ?

yeah thats pretty much half of this forum  

looks like it will be just the thing for inflating tyres and blowing out cobwebs and dust

as a side note, nice Genuine A Suffix Middlesex registration mark  (and period plate too)

Has anyone turned an Invacar into a Trike (yes I know they already are) I mean with bike forks and No bodywork???

Presume a version with peddles would work best

thats pretty much what Invalid carriages where before the full bodied machines  

but I assume what you mean is has anyone turned a Model 70 into a harley davidson type tricycle?

sadly yes that has been done

this thing used the driveline/rear end out of a Model 70

which just leaves a method of strapping down the tank to figure out, but I think he is either eying up some custom Metal straps or some ratchet straps of some kind

Despite my posting on this forum I don't do any browsing of threads and thought all InvaCar related posts were accommodated in the same place until I just found this. Nice work Adam, follow topic clicked.

Must be 25-30 years since I last cut out a transit windscreen and bonded it into a different shell, don't think I will do one again.
