Here is a recent picture of the Jappics progress

 

Ade, I've enjoyed following your build. Wasn't the original a 2 seater?

 

There was one set of pictures done with a passenger in the car , but he seemed to be sitting sideways and would have been on the final drive chain , I havnt seen a picture of the car running with two in it , or even containing two seats ,
So mine only has one seat, but I have changed a number of things on the car as additional information comes to light

 

Yeah, we area also a lot fatter these days.

 

Stripping the Jappic recreation , it's time to assemble it ready for running now

Cute little roadster, just looks like someone left the front axle off it.

Interesting trike, it looks like an early Morgan mated with a boat.

Nice to see you back on this thread Bob, you find some really neat stuff.

 

Hello Nedd,
And - sorry to interupted after your detailed answer!
From some strange techical gaff, I didin't see this page and all messages after Brown's question!
Ciao, Zoran

 

OK Bob. What is it? That's a new one for me.

 

Bob is back! Life just got a little more interesting - sure missed your posts.

 

No problem, Zoran

"... How did I do it? Spotting the PL badge helped, but mainly it was the Google search-by-image feature. It's extremely useful. Open a Google Image Search tab, go back to the tab with the page containing the image you're investigating. Click on the image, drag it first up to the Google tab and then down to the box that says "Drop image here." A wealth of info pertaining to that image comes up..."

that Salmsom is what I call "excessive use of engine turning".

 

Did you just say "excessive use of engine turning"?

 

Neato!

 

I didn't know that was possible.

 

I was referring to the surface finish on the body/fenders. Looks nice on a dash but a whole car?

 

I like the hand done engine turning bugatti used on engine and gearboxes, my friend has a delage and found on cleaning years of dirt of the gearbox some poor aprentise had spent hours doing a great engine turned finish on it ,

But what hate , I know that's a strong word but it's the right word , is the use of modern machine finished engine turned material on vintage cars , it's far too regular and purfect ,,,

 

Wow amazing engine turning
