Is this rupp kart fixable

[RuppRestoration]

Is there a way to just order the whole front bar that goes from one spindle mount to the next spindle mount

That was a piece of pipe. It was cut and welded to the frame and the spindle brackets were welded to it. You can order a piece of pipe from just about any hardware supply store.

 

[RuppRestoration]

Yeah I know that but it's also not just a flat straight bar or pipe it's bent on each end

He is asking 200 has front turbine wheels rear axle and brake and the rupp steering wheel the rest is all off-brand not vintage parts

 

[RuppRestoration]

There's no seat or engines

Guess it all boils down to how bad you want it and what your capability for the repair is or willing to pay for the repair on top of the $200 for the frame. Most any of this stuff can be repaired or rebuilt with the right experience or under experienced construction instruction. Id need to see more of it overall to judge for myself to see wether it would be repairable or just used for a copy model. That stuff is getting scarce so it might be worth it if it isn't a tubing wall rusted out piece. Reforming and replacing that fronts not a big deal really. Bear in mind it would never be a true original there after.

$200 for a broken frame with no seat and no engine seems a little steep. Unless you have been searching for that particular kart I think I would probably pass. Or at least try to knock it down $ 50 or so.

Take that blue rope off the front tire and it will probably work just fine.

ANYTHING is "fixable". It all depends on just how deep your wallet and/or fabrication skills are...

That's funny! I had to go look again. Yep. Blue rope.

Yes it is repairable with some welding skill and possibly a tube bender, just depends on how bad you want a Kart and how hard they are to find where you are.
