Here's a bit of an update on the "Haynes Pig". My mate's dad swapped the project for a completed trike (read shit heap) on the basis that he would complete the "haynes" one. I saw him today reworking the rear suspension as its way too hard apparently (Reliant rear axle mounted on radius arm with coil over shock units, AKA a total abortion). I was amazed to see it now sports number plates and a tax disc, as the seats are a couple of plastic chair items (remember the kind we had at school, plastic seat on a tubular metal frame) with lap only seat belts so I'm guessing it hasn't seen an IVA examination! I'm not even convinced it would pass an MOT.

So what do I do now, shop them and drop him in it and hope they never have an accident with it?

Next question is if I do shop them who do I call?
