Awesome Agree with scooterslag, just a bit of striping and done. Am I right in thinking you will be putting some wings on it at some point though isn't that a light aircraft engine should fly ;D

The reason why I fell in love with it , was the patina. And the character of this strange vehicle. I am going To leave the body as is , and ill take your advice an put some hand painted pinstripes on it. Deffinetly!!! The engine is used for light aircraft, and snowmobiles aswell. It makes 60 hp so it should be fast enough for A 3 wheeler. Ill post some more pics of what it looked like when I plucked it from a farmers field in tuscany Italy. Still lots more work to do on this thing, but for the most part its about 58 % done. All I need to get this one Done is more time!! I wish there was 40 hours in a day, we could get so much more done.

Is that the same engine as a Falcone? You should be able to get something for it...

Yes I know. Ebay.it still has some parts for these engines but why bother with such an old dog. The original engine ran and shifter etc.... Ended up selling all the stuff I removed from it to a guy in italy For 1000 euro. So that is what funded the project for the first couple of days.....

yeah there found in italy as they were mainly used there for farm work, delieverys and construction, most people who have them try to do a full restoration on them, but i cant be bothered with that kind of gayness!! i want fast and in your face so i got rid of everything and updated so it can be a bit safer, and a bit more confortable. im going to be working on this soon as this is on my to do list. hopefully by mid may i can get working on it.
