Default Back from the dead

An old friend just sent me the before and after shots of a bike he's been working on for a year.

1952 Ariel Square Four, just waiting on the tank to come back from the paint shop.

Very interesting motor. Are those cranks counter rotating? Timing it must be a bitch

He got lucky with that chassis. Looks very well preserved for that year of bike.

A cut away view of the '39 model, (same basic design).

Check out the camshaft location.
