VTR-engined / buggy Crosskart
if this is ok, I´ll make a thread about the build !
----------------------------------------------------------------
The chassies was located in the addic of a friends dads truckingcompany, it had been sitting there since new, 1992 - never used.
Engine was given to me for free as a friend crashed his bike with no Insurance.
So the choise was kinda easy !
My local motorcycle breakes has had a super discount offer, since August last year. with such low prices that it seems to be free.
brakecalipers 8 Pounds, shocks 8 Pounds, fueltanks 8 Pounds, rectifier 5 Pounds, frames 20 Pounds, etc etc
So i have been there about 50 times in the last 6 months hoardning parts :-)

Re: VTR-engined / buggy Crosskart
Is that a Varadero engine?
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Wing is a "styling" wing from a car, cut down 20cm, as it was way to wide.
look closely and you will see 5 rear lights. the 2 black ones are parkinglights (Always on). and the Three others are brakelights , all LEDs
