Manco Fox II Go-Kart

[Subzero]

I bought this project about a year ago for $20 and figured I'd post a few before and afters of it. Please take into consideration this was my first kart,second engine to fix and heavy restoration job. Some of the things I did was
-Un siezed the engine
-cleaned carb
-did some other things to engine that I forgot
-treid to get a better engine( $10 tecumseh Power sport 6.0)
(I never did get around to fixing that carb on it)
-RE-Paint
-New drive tire
-New clutch
-made a new headrest as the old one was rotted and mushrooms had grown on the fabric
-re-upolstered the seat
-re-paint roll cage
-wired the lights back up
-made the battery tray on the back
-new throttle cable

I dont have any pictures of what the roll cage looked like but it looked just as bad as the kart did when I bought it.
I know I'm probably forgeting some things but I sold it last March and can't remember all that was done. I sold that gokart for $200 and bought my Mini Baja MB165 for $250 the next day. I had about 4150 in it not includeing the purchase price. What do you think?

Nice job :thumbsup:
I'd say you made out pretty darn good on that one. It's hard to find even a good frame for what you paid.

Thanks, the fram was pretty solid and not much rust. I bought it from my freind who had it sitting in the woods behind his house for years.
