Started this project to have something fun to do for cheap. Found a 2000 Chrysler Sebring for $500 and drove it 45 miles home. Then started cutting everything off it that didn't look like a trike. It's basically going to be a giant FWD Can Am Spyder when I'm finished. Been working on it about 4 months and got it moving under it's own power again yesterday. I obviously have a lot more to do but I hope to get it street legal and register it within the month.
A big part of the fun was getting it to the concept demonstrator stage as inexpensively as possible. After selling some parts I'm at a little over $600 cost so far. I can get it street legal with the parts on hand.
Will spend the summer road testing in pretty much the current configuration, with the addition of a seat and some frame stiffening. Hope to get most of the rest of the original sheet metal this fall and replace it with all tubing. Very limited body planned. Just enough to protect electronics from the weather. Going for the naked rat rod look.
