you're joking aren't you? surely you mean that in jest and aren't shitting on someone's hard work that they decide to share here.

VolksFolks ·

sure You need to get the plans past buy a eng then take them in to your lic center ( qld ) I have done now 13 of these ,the one above is the first mid mount in Perth may be Australia .

I have just sold the renault 2 lrt one to QLD so you may see that running around ( holden gold )

Price depends on what state you would like it finished to .

Hey Seagull.....nice looking trike!! They sell Bontrikes at a motorcycle shop here in Townsville now. Asking $35/$40000 drive away!!!(bit steep me thinks). Met a guy on Friday who has a twin turbo subi motor in his..but it is metalic purple so it's no good:jesus When will you get around to finishing yours?????:alien

Baja Wes ·

very cool. I'd put some really nice wheels on the back though.

Andy42 ·

seagull ·

mick it is too cold in the shed hee hee , I have been doing all the 50 mm stainless steel headers and radiator lines ,I am still have the blank hubs on back order @ V force .I have stoped all my other projects as to finish
mine .
I have one frame left in stock now and doing the forks as to sell it of a rolling package as I have a new vw 1600 twin port motor and gear box included with this one .

ej22 runing a ej20 quad cam all for fun :thumb

handycam ·

looks good

OZ Towdster ·

Sorry but i have to say this IT'S BLOODY UGLY and I'd know as i drive a Tow'd and well if you can sell them for 20g your Cutting a lot of corners from my opinion.

vwombat ·

Wicked - you got any procedural shots? It would be good to see your step by steps!

handycam ·

it would get along on the road with that donk

seagull ·

A westwood

the one that sold for 20 was not like the green one at all .
it was a renault 2ltr c/w 5 speed gear box in holden gold ,it was three years old and had done 10000ks the motor had done about 12000 ks as it was from a new car that some one smashed into and killed the body.I hope you see it one day and get a look at the work that went in to doing the frame alone .you may not know alot about the renault 2ltr but if you are in a worked vw based car it will give you a very hard time ,I dont think you would keep with it .The gold trike is stock as 2ltr . I have a turbo here for that motor as well .

You will see it for sure Gold one as its in your home town now !

as for your opinion ! well . if you would like this model green one you need to part with 37K but there will be some delay as I have three on the go now .

Vwombat I do have some shots of the build for you

seagull ·

well it looks like when mine is finished we will be going from perth to qld and return all in 4 weeks .

mattnsuz ·

This is a very cool trike seagul...... but where are the VW bits? BOND TRIKES have VW motors. No offence

seagull ·

the subaru yes does not have any vw bits , mine has the vw auto vw trailing arms type three ,.
I do have one I doing now with a vw motor but the cost building a vw motor to any were as good as the stock subaru is a joke .
