Can anyone ID or age this Peugeot for me please?

Good grief - you mean you get paid to work on cars like that? Brilliant. You don't hang out over on the MIG welding forum perchance?

Erm, don't get me wrong, mig welding has its place...........

 

[loopybike]

Anyway,

First coat of colour

Sparkly!

Not at all. Just some of the threads on there of people using Englishwheels to create their own panels are quite something.
Nice job on the finish there. Do keep posting photos. Not sure my home build recumbent is anywhere near your standard.

 

[loopybike]

Do you have a thread on your home made recumbent ? I have SUCH a cool idea for one...........

Neracar?

Can't remember the name of the guy, but he is an American who builds these around Piagio scooters. I'd love to build one round a recumbent .....

Mmmm wicked. Go for it they look amazing, bit of an A35 smile there too. You have all sorts of grill opportunities there. The helmet look cool but might not meet current H&E standards.

I suppose a starting point for a chassis might be a Tadpole design - http://atomiczombie.com/Warrior Recumbent Tadpole Racing Trike.aspx but I'd not use box section.

I don't have a build thread, wasn't sure there would be much interest. Also, I'm not sure you'll approve of the last 'MIG welded' creation. :-)

After a frustrating time with the paint ( repainted the forks twice and then found the clear coat activator had gone off ) It's finally build up time

Need an hour or two then it should just be the bars to lace up.

 

[loopybike]

Change of saddle to a black one and straight bars.

All done......
NEXT!

Looking very hipsterish. You'll have to loose those plastic pedals though.

 

[loopybike]

They're not plastic......

 

[Cycleops]

Oh dear so sorry. They do look like it.

Just zoomed in a bit better, I can see now.

 

[loopybike]

no worries
