Unusual car to build it from. Would change the front wheel, Com-Star's have a nasty habit of popping the rivets on trikes Razz

Going to need a fair bit of frame modification to fit a reliant/bike engine and reliant axle into it, VW engine would seem the easiest Thumbs Up

If your going for a bike engined, A shaft driven engine is the easiest to work with, Chain drive needs a lot of axle modification to run a sprocket.

Right bit of an up-date, i managed to pick up another backend with suspen ion, gearbox and a 1300cc engine. stripped the new engine n box and suspension out in one lump, sepperated the engine n box, painted the suspension up cleaned the box ready to refit into the body so that i can get her back on three wheels.

Oh i changed the name of her from the Skonda to the Skorpion,to see where i've got to so far have a look at the Skorpion website.

cheers

Willy
