Well, you need a frame, engine, steering and bigger is mo bedder.
maybe you should look around a few morre weeks and learn about different karts. Then decide WHAT ya wanna build.
It ain't like assembling something from Ikea, ya better have a big tool box.
The best place to start is the Library.

Start here: https://www.diygokarts.com/ or hit the All the way Home button on the top left. No one ever uses the main site but there’s decent info there.

I see that you are in England so it would be good to know what you have available to you in your immediate vicinity. Small horizontal shaft engines, cart (or kart) wheels, steel for fabrication, etc.
