New and excited

Hello everyone, I just purchased my first Go Kart. A 1980s Manco Indy Go Kart.

So far I have done a mild paint correction and some new pedals. The side by side of the wing and body is a before and after. I'm looking forward to making more improvements.

In the pictures you can see the wing is shot. I have a professional fiberglass guy working on a new wing. It maybe reproducible if anyone is interested.

Sorry, I have to... it's too good to pass up. Is that motor so fast that you'd need diapers?

Sorry... Just good fun.

I always liked those indy car thingies. I'd never own one but they're still pretty neat. Should you replace the wheels on that, do let me know. I can help you fund your new wheels if you'd sell the old ones to me. I kind of collect those old manco wheels for my projects known as Kart Rods.

This came with a 3hp Briggs and Straton, that hasn't ran in 20years. So no but I hope it will be. As I drop a 6.5 predator in it.

This does interest me very much. I seen some wear on the tires from sitting so long but I have no idea what they are worth.

Nice lookin kart you make tho.
