This page
is being created to document the building of my 1952 Ariel Square Four.
Here is the story.
I purchased my Square Four as a basket case. I
was really very excited about this purchase. It was something I've wanted for
a very long time. I procured a bunch of new parts and I cleaned parts and
sorted parts and well......now it has been languishing in my shop for way too
long. As I write this it is January 16, 2005. I acquired this dream in
1999 from my very good friend Rick and in the process of buying it I promised
I would do right by it. Meaning I would finish the project he started. Well
four and a half years later I feel as if I have let Rick down.
Rick purchased this bike as a rolling non-running mostly complete motorcycle.
