Some of you would know i have taken on a bit of a project in a Vintage Go Kart.

Bruce ( Top Bloke ) was kind enough to donate an old Victa Engine plus some bits and pieces.
I have started a tear down of the engine and have taken some pics.
The Beast!

DOH, Broken Ignition wire. The Red one. It had electrical tape underneath it to, i assume thats where a wire runs too as there was a broken connection coming out underneath it where the tape was.

I am forever grateful to Bruce he is a Top Bloke and if you haven't met him already make sure you pop in for a chat.
I will be displaying the Outdoorking name on the Kart and afew other places.
So now the real big challenge begins, the clean up and modifications!!
I dont want the Kart to be a show pony, it has to be a working go kart and i want it to show its History, some chrome things would look great but i am doing this on an extremely tight budget so getting the frame fixed, some period wheels ( Which are like rocking horse poo ) and a fire breathing Victa!!!
Feel free to give me tips and advice!
Cheers Josh
