Spent 5mins looking at drift trike videos on youtube and decided I had to build one.
Bought one off a local guy for £40 just so I could see how he made his ect, the bearings broke soon as I sat on it so upgraded the wheels for some heavy duty ones and wrapped them in some huge PE gas mains laying pipe I got my hands on.
Seemed to be perfect dimensions for drifting, I think the wheels being so big and heavy sets it aside from most the other ones I've seen online.

Took it for a spin with my little brother, GREAT fun, took loads of photos and a hand ful of vids and bless him he put it into a cracking little pontage together
this will clear things for anyone who hasn't heard of it before
ANYWAY... girlfriend soon got jealous and wanted a pink one so as one of her little surprises I'm going to try make her one in time for her birthday next Friday. Pink but I'm Ganna have to keep it small so it will fit on the roof rack of her mini.
First things first got my hands on a bmx some kid left broken outside my place so used that and a green machine huffy I bought for £20 off eBay. Buying a green machine huffy is the easiest way to make pedals for a drift trike
Here is both the dinars dismantled
These are the pedals I have to somehow weld to the existing fork, so this is how I'm Ganna do it cut it half way and weld it perhaps with a sleeve holding it together.
Cut the frame up and pieced it all together to see how it would look, unsure on which seat I want to use and at this point not sure if I'm going to use the bmx frame or bend a piece of steel.
Anyway, spent quite a lot of time rummaging around finding parts ect but had my first bash at it today for an hour or so, going to give it another bash tomorrow maybe.

I have sorted some bits from work (bike mechanic...) 
Be interested to see how this comes together ;D
