Build a VW trike like Big Yella.

How many times have you thought of owning and riding a custom made VW trike? A machine that stops people in their tracks. I had that thought.

 

It took a few months, a bit of determination, some dirt on the hands and now it's finished. Plus it cost a fraction of a mass produced trike.

Phil Parry is my name and I'm a Technical Illustrator (with a Mech. Design background). After replacing the engine in my daughters '65 Beetle, I pondered what to do with the old *VW 1200 engine sitting on the garage floor. "A VW trike I'll build" thought I......so I did.

 After weeks of design time and problem solving, using basic tools in my home garage Big Yella was created. Without any assistance, the project involved frame construction, front-end design, hydraulics, fibre-glassing, painting, electrics, an engine rebuild, wrought iron and wood work, but the transformation of an old 1971 VW Beetle into a stunning VW trike was completed.

Anyhow, browse through the site and enjoy the pics. Hopefully you'll be inspired to build your own custom trike. For details on how..... Click here for 'A Serious Guide to Building a VW Trike'.

 

 

 

The three great essentials to achieving anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.....Thomas Alva Edison.

*The irony is...the original 1200 veedub engine was sold to a sheep shearer in the great Aussie outback and was never used in my VW trike.
