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.

Half apart, just the main bits to go. Its missing the Key for the Keyway shown too.

The new Cylinder waiting for a clean up, its 40thou.

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
