So man caves 0ver the years playing with bikes Trikes an Cars and from a small corner of my old mans home workshop an my first bent spanners I have worked my way up to a nice setup man cave. pic's are 4-5 years old and have packed in a bit more kit in that time but when tidy it looks a little like this an I can in house most job's now an what's missing at home can be taken care of at work
We still have hard times hear steve a trike build just fit's in the shop for mock up but have to do the final build up out side in the cold an rain. saving hard for a car port in the new year..............
It's a 1.6 pinto motor out of a Ford Capri rear diff is Sierra with the Sierra rear arm's as well. I have built two like this a 2.0 as well one for me an one for a top man at Durcell both look near the same bar Twin 40's an a race Exhaust on the one I did for myself. I have built lot's of Reliant trikes over the years lost count over 10+ use to knock them out one every 4-5 months still have a jig hear for making the frame's for them I will get back to it at some point but will be using mx5 motors an running gear when I do.
Thats great Pug Ive seen a few trikes before but never seen the front set up like that with twin shocks 2.0 engine that must put some decent power down could you do a 3.0 with the old capri engine that would be a bit of kit probably handle better than the old capri I had did lol😂

Have played with big motor's an built some ladder frames for hotrod's lot's of fun thing is today you can get 200bhp out of a little 1.3 motor I had a hand in a mates 1.6 Vtech kit car build back in the summer 245bhp an so light kicks you back in the seat like a 100k super car. but the one to really play with is the 2.3 Vtech it will twitch it's way to 500bhp with a bit of work.
Thats one kitted out man cave Martyn!! Mine just has a small tool cab, workbench & bead breaker table. Ive got the obligatory bike calendar on wall! It is usually very untidy with rubbish, tools, and parts scattered everywhere!
zx 10 motor nice work horse motor an popular with the kit car boys I will dig out some pic's of my old drag bike a GPZ1260 Nos snorting thing that it was near killed me 3-4 times the Nos system use to come on tap in three hit's of 50bhp to 150bhp on top of the bikes 150bhp it was like poking a tiger in the nuts with a stick you no its going to get you ripped up at some point but you have to have a go
It's a 'BEER and BULL****' boardroom. Not a bloody man cave, hahahaha! *hick*
It's definitely a work in progress. The configuration changes daily, depending on what I'm working on. But the TT250R has pride of place in the centre so that I can move around it easily with a cold beer in hand contemplating how far I am going to go "rejuvenating" the beast.
