Gettin' er done!
Well folks, I've decided to take the plunge and enter into the build off! I've been on the fence about it until this past weekend when I found a full sized ATV frame on the cheap. This is going to be my budget built, off road, full suspension shifter kart! I dont actually have a set budget but I want to do it on the cheap (as is my way) with as many recycled/recovered/repurposed items and parts that I can!
Between work, home, other projects, down time ect. I'll only be able to dedicate a little time here and there to working on it plus the way I work on projects is slow as it is so what I'm thinking is that I will update this thread every week or two with progress and details. I will include prices of parts as I go and tally it all up at the end to see how much it has cost to build, all prices will be listed in Canadian dollars. They will not include fuel (to travel for parts/supplies) or tools, only hard parts used to create it.
I tend to spend alot of time, thought and "planning" as I go along so I don't find myself redoing things. I don't have an official "plan" (aside from my end goal) or any drawings nor will I, that's not how this fella rolls! My projects take shape as I go along and come up with more and more ideas of how I want to proceed, I guess you could say I'm wingin' it! I use the term "plan" loosely because it's a constantly changing, ever evolving idea...
Now that the introduction is done, on to the "plan" including parts and prices...
