3 Wheeler Vehicle Parts
Given the time constraints of the project it was felt necessary to acquire some of the main vehicle components from a 'donor' vehicle. The nature of a three-wheeled vehicle meant that parts would be required from both a motorcycle and a car. The Kawasaki that inspired the project would provide a large number of the parts.
