Very cool car, i can only wish it had 4 wheels, think it'd look cool like that but it's a quirky 3 wheeler and i like it! good job!

I've worked on the engine for the last few weeks.

The 1275 cc engine will fit on the gearbox after a few modifications.

You'll find some pics here.

A few weeks ago, I sent emails to Mini Mag and Mini World concerning the Mosquito and my website. For a few days, I'm having a lot of visitors from UK on my website. As I don't have Mini World or Mini Mag in France, can someone tell me if there's an article concerning the Mosquito and Triad kit-cars in the last issue of Mini Mag or Mini World?

Thanks

if it had 4 wheels it would look like a mini Marcos

Just out of interest, your friend that you brought it from, did he used to have anything to do with scraping-scrap.com? and if so, any ideas what happed to the website as it used to keep me amused for hours (and I want to know if they finished the Renault 4)

Top rebuild by the way

Yep, Chris was scrapingscrap's webmaster.

The website isn't on line anymore. I believe that the Renault 4 is finished but I'm not sure.

My gearbox is back from the boilermaker.

Now, it fits under the 1275 engine

Some news...
I'm actually working on the body. Some parts need some work. And some holes have to be tapped before painting the complete body (ie: holes for aeroscreens, etc.)

Of course, all pictures are available on www.mosquito-triad.com

Hello you all...

A little news from my project... The body shell is being repaired. The guy works really well.

The complete car comes back home on Monday. I'll take some more pics.

There's no more flames on the bonnet
