Anybody know what this is? Not in my possession yet thus is the only pic I have.

Does it really matter????? That thing is only marginally original.....so....the most important thing is the quality of the welds on the modifications .....

 

[StinkyArmpits]

No, doesn't really matter. Just wondering if it's worth anything before I tear into it.

What am I missing? What was modified? Looks like a pretty cool kart.

I'd say everything that isn't red on the frame?????

You see something different?????

EDIT:.....BTW.....What I do see....doesn't look good.....just look at the top of the steering "hoop?"

 

[firemanjim]

Ehhh, I think it is all original.....

 

[OzFab]

Yeah, me too... Everything appears to be original, it's just old...

The steering "hoop" is the same design as AusEx, 2 bolts hold a bush, this one just isn't set up correctly, nothing major...

I would say go for it, it looks like a good place to start from...

 

[itsid]

yes, go for it!

it looks like a nice kart indeed.. and although I cannot identify this kart from this one picture,
I'm sure it's worth to be restored.

it kinda reminds me of a Coyote (bullet maybe??) or a Birel of some flavour..
anyways, nice vintage kart project

I've bought it, I just wanted to know if it were anything special. I'll keep you guys posted.

Depending on the price, I'd definitely go for it. Looks like a cool project. Fix some issues like the steering (looks pretty weird at the support), get the engine running, decent brakes and I guess you got yourself a nice kart.

Goodluck!
