What about motorbike parts? They make some excellent side mirrors & petrol caps. Maybe some of their gauges? I was told by a mate who is an engineer by trade that they put a motorbike engine & gearbox in a Mazda 1000 ute & ran chain drive. It got me thinking. Apparently they even got it approved as their was no rule saying you must have reverse. They all forgot about that.

there was a post on here a while back about a mini in england that had the whole rear end chopped out, and they put a road bike engine in it. rear wheel drive and all, and it went hard.

about the no reverse, maybe you could adapt something from a 4 wheeler? some of those have reverse.
just make sure you upgrade the clutch!

Yeah, I did a bit of internet research for fun. Some bikes have an electric reverse & one guy used a flywheel & starter motor. If I got serious, the first thing I would do is contact a trike manufacturer as the technology should be similar. I also thought about a shaft driven bike as a donor.

I have sourced bits for my resto from every 1200 model, ute diff,coupe brakes,coupe seats,every possible option from everycar.
I was lucky that when I started there were quite a few 1200's to buy and wreck.
My list is 1 wagon,3 utes,1 coupe,1 other 2 door sedan and 1 sedan.
As I worked in Honda parts I have heaps of honda bolts,clips,bulbs,dizzy parts etc etc

Valiant (I think). I made a removable tipping tray for my ute. The tipping action is provided by 2 valiant jack shafts welded together with a single ratchet jack mechanism. In the original use, the jack would hook up under the wheel arch.
