I just put the final parts on this kart I bought at a garage sale in June 2014. It was just a beat up old (1980's ?) frame with 4 flat tires and bent rims, but I could see the potential. The frame was basically straight with good welds and is built to a heavy duty standard. Photos are a simple time line from June until now.

Very cool! Nice work and attention to detail. Quite a nice bit of restoration and the shiny front wheels are a cool touch.

Hi, first time post here. Could you tell me what size wheels and tires you used in the front and back? This looks like what I'm after for a manco 2 seater I just picked up a few weeks ago. The guy I got it from had riding lawn mower tires on the front and back. I need a good reliable proper fitting upgrade.


Thank you

Probably much better you start your own thread with pictures than ask here.....
