hey all did a job for a dude the other day and found this in his shed. asked him about it and said he didnt want it. so i swapped him my dirt bike. he chucked in a 4 stroke 250cc pit bike to even things up but not fused as i wanted the car. its a 4 stroke 110cc electric start motor with 3speed neutral and reverse. its a chain driven differtial in the rear with twin disc rotors. coil over susp on all corners. even has a low fuel light and heaps of other nifty ideas.

that sits approx 2500klm plus a 12 hr boat ride across water away. be driving back to the parents place next year for a visit but im mainly planning on trying to get my 200amp mig and compressor so there wont be much room in the back of the ute. if none of it fits a trailer will go for the trip and then i can bring that back with me. i think it will be easier to build another

its just for looks. originally it was going to be an electric car. the 2 twin throat carbs came of an out board motor no one wanted and have a linkage to join them with an electric choke solenoid so the plan was every time you hit the go pedal the buterflies in the carbs would open. i made that one new years eve probably about 7 yrs ago as i hate socialising with people i dont know and pretending im interested in there lives when there opposite to me. i grabbed dads steel that he had for his trailer and put it together that night. i know i sound like a misfit but thats why i use these site and have the mates i do cos we all share the same passions.

Oh the hell I could raise in the neighborhood if I had that little racecar.
Very cool find.

yep did that today. went for a squirt around my streets. goes damn good i was suprised as i clicked up through the 3 speed. its a sigh of relief too. when i got it i tried to get into it while wearing my work clothes ie steel caps etc. i couldnt get in

. went out today wearing loose shorts ,t shirt and no shoes and i got in.

i was going to rub butter all over me if that failed but i got in and off i went.

Wow Assume! I think I could take a Vet in a short course with that!! Like to try anyway! Nice Find! I would have to lose about 75 lbs and shorten my legs 6" to fit in though! LOL!!
