        As you aware,though I had a chance to pick this a year before,but dropped the idea ,since the whole powertrain unit belongs to Bajaj FE Auto rickshaw (that to electronic)
        *** By the way, Do you want me to post my Ape' pics before restoration???..........coz, it may be like misleading the viewers

        Hello Sir: You should post pictures of ur APE during the restoration. At least I will be happy to see and read about the progress.

        The picture u have posted of the other one looks really good too, at least cosmetically.

        Congrats on the ML. We should try and find a James Cadet here.
