So I figured I'd start to log some of the progress on our family's kart. It's an old Yerf Dog 3203 which we got for a fair price which included delivery. Though I don't think it was every in any traumatic accident or roll-over, as I get into it I have discovered the common parts of the frame which have shown their age. Fortunately "BMI Karts" still makes some of these and according to the reviews, are equal or better than original. We have bit the bullet and ordered new front A arms/spindles and the rear swing arm. I have some ideas to save on wear in the spindles which I'll share once I get them together. The biggest challenge now is making time to work on it; married, 2 kids (one brand new) and a full time job - at war with me in my 30s finally with a gokart I wanted in my high school days, ha!
Sorry if some of these pictures seem sporadic, but that's how it's been going so far. My plan is to get the new parts all painted in the next few weeks, then carefully box them for the time being and move into a R&R phase once we are done riding it for the season. I'll try to get some good progress pictures and side-by-side pictures of the replacements for any who are considering this path.
